CHRISTMAS CHEER
AS Ever Ii Calls on the Housewife for Sweets Pies.
and All the Rest of the Good Things
of the Holidays.

Spread over buttered tins and cut in
squares.
An excellent imitation OF one of the
newest OF store candies may be made
at little cost. These are the peanut
creams and chocolates that are now in
such high favor To attain this mas
terpiece take some peanut butter. and
after sailing It slightly, shape 1t into
the forms desired Some OF these may
be rolled in fondant and served plain:
others may he covered with chopped
nut meats; some may be dipped into
melted chocolate, or they may be
treated in any manner that the in
genuity Of the amateur candymakei
may suggest In any form, however,
they are quite as delicious as the can
| dies that are sold in stores.
A fruit and nut delicacy that cannot
fail to appeal to the housewife at
Christmas time is made by chopping a
cup of nut meats with two cupfuls OF
dates, half cupful of figs. and half
/ cupful Of Maraschinu cherries that
have been drained free from liquor
When chopped. and they should not
be chopped too fine. mold into the
shapes desired. and dip each piece into
a syrup made by boiling half pound
of sugar with half a pint of water until
II will harden like candy. Slices of
orange or pineapple, and dates, figs OF
any kind of nuts may be coated in the
same manner.
Now that maple sugar may be OBJ,
tanned without great difficulty, an ex.
cellent candy may be made by boiling
three cupfuls with cupful and half
of sweet milk and half tablespoon
full of butter for about ten minutes. Al
the expiration of this time beat with
spoon until the mixture is both
creamy and thick. II may then be
spread in buttered tins to cool, or. for
the sake OF variety, the candy may be
divided into three equal portions, one
part to be served plain, another mixed
with nuts, and the third with chopped
candied cherries.
Sailed nuts are now so great a
favorite that no elaborate dinner
would seem complete without them.
As ordinarily prepared however, the
sailing of nuts is quite a serious task,
but II the cook desires to save time in
cooking them she may attain the same
result more easily by dropping them
into a kettle of deep fat-lard by
preference-and letting them remain
from 10 to 10 minutes. When done
they must be drained thoroughly be
fore being sailed to taste. and they
win be found to be just as palatable
as the nuts that have been prepared
by the far more laborious process.
If you are in search of a novelty, in
stead of sailing all the nuts for the
Christmas dinner. try the experiment
of "brandying" some OF them. To dc
this, soak the nuts for about SO hours
in brandy-French brandy. peact
brandy or applejack will do-ther
cover them with thin fondant, oil
merely roll them in powdered sugar
The result will be hailed with delight

MY most unpleasant and yet most

economy's sake in home for working
women. The cook we had was good
one, and so, when Christmas day came,
we all felt assured that at one O'Clock
we should have our orthodox turkey
and-plum-pudding dinner.
But one bottle of whisky, SNUG
gled into a Christian kitchen, will up
set the expectations of 30 hungry
boarders. Just how many drinks the
cook had that morning | cannot say,
but when dinner time came she was
belligerently drunk. The turkey was
as well roasted as though she had
been sober, but what was that to the
boarders in general. when she stood
over it, carving-knife in hand, declar.

and waited, wondering what would be
the outcome OF the trouble. Finally,
the defeated matron came out OF the
kitchen, and with tears in her voice,

you go in and see what you can do?'
