and so are the great mans big apron and
white starched cap.
From his favors, sugar, fruits and
nuts he is forever evolving new colors
and combinations His experiments are
sent into the shop and if they take" the
pattern and formula go at once to the
factory for wholesale use. Yet pro-
nounced successes are rare; and it Is
not too much to say that the inventor of
a taking and entirely new sweet would
receive from the candy makers more
than the Roman Emperor offered for

Meanwhile our artist stands beside
the moulding slab with two or three
knives handy. They are sharp and short,
of various curve and temper. In front
of him above the slab, Is long hooded

through which shoot needles of fame.
1t is perhaps foot above the slab, and
heat from it keeps the candy there work

green velvet, with green ribbon caught
fanwise on the front with silver buck
lie. A tall black and white aigrette is
part Of the trimming and two sable tails
keep it company. More brilliant fans
are covered over with small peacock 8

the peacOck'S breast, and on the middle
of the crown the birds head and neck
broOding over this strange world.

the materials of the hat trimmers' art,

wrist motion turns the edges of the fat
tened bit toward each other-and be-
hold, there is your pea-pod to the life,
opening delicately to show the fruit
within.
The peas are an Easter fashion; they
will be passee before Thanksgiving.
Fashion, you see, has very much to do
with the success or failure of such
wares. That comes to you more than
ever forcibly when you step into the
stock room and note the array of fancy
baskets, bags and boxes, the cost of
which runs up into the thousands; yet
this ultimate value wholly depends
upon their catching the fancy of the
buying world. This is particularly true
of the things of lace and satin and fine
paper made up for holiday seasons.
Still these are hardly so interesting
as the big, squarish, commercial-look
ing paper boxes one finds a
little further on. First rosy
young women line them generously
with fine waxed paper-then they go
to others who fit into them divisions Of
stiff paper folded at various angles.
For truly fine candy is delicate. 1t

out crushing, and is packed barely one
layer deep, with these immaculate fend-
ers between the various components.

from sweet sounds and odors; green peas
In the pod, lemon and orange slices, tiny
button onions, nut creams and caramels,

Inside the brilliant cabinets on both
sides of the shop are other silvered trays
upon plateglass shelves, wherein you
see rose buds, or orchids or lilies, shaped
from pink or yellow almond paste with
calyxes of pistache green. They are so
lifelike it seems vandalism to eat them
even if you have paid dollar for half
a pound of them. They keep in coun-
tenanace the candied Strawberries, cher
ries, violets and rose leaves, that are
but one half as costly-selling at the
same rate as the familiar glace fruits
and the unfamiliar caprice" which
looks as though scented red or amber

A word as to favorings. Though for
cheap candies all sorts Of villainous
substances abound, and in spite of the
undeniable excellence Of many latter

store room, extracts and fruit juices

full paucity of it.
Lastly, for the comfort Of the squeam-
ish and the enlightenment of the doubt
ing. let it be understood that in candy
making the most exquisite cleanliness
is the rule. Each copper kettle shines
like the rising sun-you could eat OH
the floors if need were. Every slab and
sieve and spoon and tray has thor.
ough and most intimate knowledge OF
the virtue of soap and scrubbings. All
the workers wear white caps and ap-
rons, put on when they come In and
taken off when they go away. They are
dainty, too, with their hands-or they
do not stay Cleaning up is no small
part Of the days work, and one that
is never scamped or sighted. The bub-

For an opera wrap Of lighter weight

is no absolute rule; and trimming is still

black plumes and white violets and the
glittering star of paste brilliants.
Still of hats, perhaps the favorite toque
is formed by gathered folds of crinkled
velvet, thrust well back upon the head
and with an aigrette rising from the
folds at the rear. Much more rare is a
form have seen, wherein the edge of a
toque is made of plated white ribbon
edged with black, three of the plaits
themselves plated to form a band of
mingling disappearing and reappearing
black and white bands quite about the
head. The crown is filledin with polka

R. c. Lennie has postponed for one
week the ordinary run through the park
which he had arranged for tomorrow.
The additional time is required to get to-
gether enough of the old style of wheels
to make a respectable showing.
The Olympic wheelmen and Reliance
wheeimen will have a joint run through
the park tomorrow. The Olympics will
meet the Oakland boys at the ferry at
10:45 A. NJ. In the afternoon they will go
to the Velodrome track and watch the
training. The Olympic's next meeting
will be on Tuesday evening, Decem Der g.
AT Menlo Park tomorrow there will be
several road races, open to all amateurs,
and a number of the riders from San Jose
and this City will compete. The events
will be a haif-mile scratch, one mile ham
dicap and five-mile handicap. There will
also be a match race at one-quarter mile
between A. B. johnson of Redwood Civ
and Rod Taylor of Menlo Park, aspirants
for the championship of San Mateo
County. There is great deal of local in
terest over the race, and opinion is about
divided.
