Drench with sufficient blood to cover the whole and cook in a hot oven of musical: fervor until thoroughly done. Garnish with tempermental singers and an in- spired conductor. Serve upon a carefully greased and well-heated orchestral platter. Leading Tenor—To a good pair of lungs and a brass cornet voice, add, little by little, large quantities of self-appreciation, egotism, nerve and injudicious praise. When these have been allowed to soak in until the tenor is sufficiently swelled to be tender, place it upon a Metropolitan stage and surround it with a half-circle of cold and merciless critics, who will beat it into a froth and freeze it. Serve in cups of bitter recrim- ination, and upon the apex of each portion place a single high C. Prima Donna—Select a plump and juicy sing- ing squab of nebulous age and foreign birth, and soak it for ten years in vocal instruction and routine stage training. Force it through the La Scala Opera House, at Milan, and then let it simmer in the musical news of the day. When thoroughly press-agented introduce in equal parts several American Impres- sarios and boil together for a short time. Gar- nish with contracts and serve in slices upon pho- nographic records. Prima Ballerina— This delightful dish is Drawn by 3. K. B dearest friends, Tom.” Just three all told?” “Yes. They all told.” “ I've confided the secret of our engagement to just three of my iG ir charge h keenly enjoyed by male epicures and can be easily pre- pared. The plump, pink variety of dancer should be chosen and it will be all the spicier if rendered jealous while in a process of preparation. It will then turn a beautiful green. The best process of cooking is to toast thoroughly and serve with a piquant wine sauce —when it can be had. Several spoonsful of adulation and a few choice stones of the diamond variety will add to its exhilarating qualities. A lavender limousine makes a pretty touch, and this touch is easily adminis- tered by the ballerina herself. Orchestra Conductor—This delicacy should be s lected with the greatest care, as it is very tempera mental and spoils quickly. It is only at its best when worked up to a white heat, and should be placed before the consumer surrounded by a few of its choicest beats. Beware of letting it cool, for in this state it is flat and unappetizing. Operatic Orchestra— To make this puree pal- atable it is necessary to proportion the parts with the greatest care, and cover with the best qual- ity of musical enthusi- asm. The mixture should be constantly stirred with the conductor's baton until it boils to the top of the proscenium arch and envelops the singers in a powerful crescendo. It should be well seas- oned with applause, for which the conductor will take the credit.
