A Box Of Homemade caudles.

a 0Ox OF IIOmemaoe Sauuteos
The usual order of things has been re-

ing himself with q box of chocolates
when he makes his call on Chloe, 1t Is
Strephon who leaves laden with sweets.
The college girl il not more proud of
her Latin thesis or her mechanical draw
ing than of her skill In making delicious
candies, and mothers have discovered
that the homemade article may be in
dulged in almost with impunity, while a
reckless consumption of the dainty con-
fections of commerce leads to visit
from the doctor for Johnny or Sue.
CHOCOLATE PANocHE.
It might have seemed that plain
panoche was quite good enough, but
some enterprising girl by the addition OF
chocolate evolved an even more delicious
bunbon. Not every one can make it sue.
cessfully. Too long boiling gives a
sugary consistency that is not desirable.
Put over the fire in q granite saucepan
two cupfuls of light brown sugar and
one of rich milk with butter the size OF
walnut, and four tablespoonful OF
grated chocolate; boil slowly and stir
constantly until little, transferred to
ice water, hardens instantly; add tea.
spoonful of vanilla, beat until as thick az
can be poured and spread over a bnttered
pan containing half pint of chopped
nuts.
For plain panoche, make as above and
omit the chocolate; for maple panoche
substitute maple sugar for the light
brown and omit chocolate.
CHOCOLATE CARAMELs.
Two cupfuls of white sugar, one Of
water, half cupful of chocolate, butter
size of small egg, one tablespoonful OF
vinegar; boil until, when dropped in
water, it is of a tough, putty-like con.
sistency. This gives the tough variety
of caramel SO much liked by children.
