What the Market Affords
CEYLON AND INDIA TEA

For. the benefit Of girls who are al
ways looking for viands "strange and
rare with which to surprise their
friends at luncheons or teas, these rules
Tor two Turkish sweetmeats are given.
Take a ripe Hubbard squash and pre-
pare it as you would for ordinary cook
ing, except that you cut it into long,
narrow pieces instead of, chopping it
up, Put it over the fire with little
water, and let it cook very slowly.
When quite tender pour off the water,
add to it enough to cover. the squash,
when it is poured on again. To this
of water. Put on the stove and let it
boil; skim carefully until the syrup is
perfectly clear. Then pour it over the
squash again and let it all cook in the
syrup about twenty minutes, but not
long enough to darken the squash in
color. Just before you take it from
the fire add teaspoonful of rose water
for every cupful Of syrup. Wy
The other preserve is a combination
of squash and ounce. Take equal parts
of squash and ounce and cook slowly
until it is thick jam. Then rub it
thru thru a fine sieve and add to each cup of
few minutes. Have ready some dis
solved gum arabic. To make this. take
teaspoonful of the powdered gum to
scant cup of boiling water, and stir
until 1t is all dissolved. You will need
a spoonful Of the gum arabic for each
cup Of jam. Add this to the lam on the
stove and let it cook until ali the water
thus added it taken up. Pour into shall
low pans lined with paraffin paper. In
few hours it should be stiff enough to
cut into cakes. These may be busted
with powdered sugar or not, as YOU
please. Like all Turkish sweetmeats.
these should always be served with
strong coffee.
