The Stuart Society's series of parties to benefit the Museum of Fine Arts continues with three offerings in January. A cooking class by the Wine Cellar restaurant on Jan. 7 at Linda Jantschek's home includes the three-course meal you will have just learned to prepare. Figure Faux Pas and Fixes - and who doesn't need that kind of help? - on Jan. 22 is hosted by Anje Bogott, Carol Fisher, Suzanne MacDougald and Donna Painter with some beautiful clothes by Carlisle in the Polywog Room at the Sunset Ballroom. Jan. 29 is Tea with the Authors, featuring Barbara Harrington, Aaron Fodiman and Shirley Linde in the garden of the Museum of Fine Arts. For information, call 823-6140.
