To antique minds the word candy
conveys an idea Of the old,fashioned
striped stick, with which babies smear
their dear little faces and ruin their
teeth before they get my, Candy or
NtotIy,n Us it was formerly called, has
been a source Of comfort and happiness
to childhood ever since the sweet
juices Of the cane, sugar beet, and maple
tree were first thickened by cooking,
Recently, however, 1t has become a part
OF the daily bill Of fare among those who
can afford 1t, and has grown to be o
necessary adjunct to all festivals and
holiday occasions.
Not only the children enjoy the sweet
meats prepared by the ConteCtiOner;
who by the way to keep abreast OF the
times must be an artist Of no mean
sort; but nearly every man or woman
who ran afford a sunshiny disposition,
and q tendency to culture In matters
gastronimical, eats candy, To many the
word candy, while 1t has not the insig-
nihcant meaning which our tOrefathers
gave 1t, does not include in its list more
than a very small portion OF the articles
made by the later day caterers to the
public stomach and sweet tooth, Ohoc'
olate drops, marsh-mallOw, burnt
almonds, cinnamon drops, rock candy,
plain stick candy, u few pastes, etc, are
all that the average customer thinks to
ask for.
A reporter had o talk with MIR. George
L. burst yesterday and In the course Of
the conversation asked how many Varie-
ties Of sweet meats he manufactures,
Mr., burst at first could give no idea, but
finally called his head candy maker, whom
he reCently secured at great expense from
Huyler's famous candy factory in New
York City, and put the question to him.
That gentleman was not much better
able than Mr.. burst to tell oil hand what
he includes Ia his role, and explained
that a thoroughly practical candy maker
like himself who has spent years learn
ing the business, does not cOnane him
self to any set list OF receipts, but keeps
continually improvlnga and adding TO his
line Of goods. Every few days an idea
strikes him, and he commences on some
new combination Of sweets, spices aud
ilaYors, and In the end usually produces
something heretofore unknown to the
art. Just as a glass maker by his expert
enCe and experiments produces some
new tint which shall please the eye, 30
the candy maker hits upon some new
dainty which shall be shaded in its deli.
