Tuttifrutu candy is made by ch1pping a
few ainonds. little ctron. clranis and
sulana raisns together and working
them into the fondant favored with a
few drops Of rum. Roll the fondant out
until it is about half an inch thick. Cut
ii into tiny squares with a knife Cr ntl
diamonds or stars with tin cutter such
as are used for vegetables. A layer of
plain white fondant may be placed over
a thin layer mixed with fruit and the two
layers cut in forms together. Indeed the
variety of candies that can be made by
combining two different styles in fancy
shapes is almost endless.
These gay candies OF various colors 10 X
pretty hung in open bags of bobbinet on
the Christmas tree, and if made Of the
purest granulated sugar are wholesome.
Balls Of various colored fondant tied with
ribbons add TO the festive appearance ol
the tree. Little moulds of apples. pears

duce them IN attractive forms.
