LAYER CANDY.

A pure and delicious candy made at
home for use at parties may be termed
'layer candy" It is made as follows:
White layer-Take two cups of granu-
lated sugar, n cup of cream or milk,
and a piece of butter about the size of
q hickory nut. Put in a pan and boil,
stirring all the time, until II forms a
soft ball when tried in cold water. Then
add fiavoring, nuts and candied cher
ries or candied pineapple, or other fruit
of similar character. Turn. out In a
deep pan, smooth off the Cop with a
knife which has previously been dipped
in cold water. Pink layer-Use the
same proportions as above, use light
brown sugar in place Of the granu-
lated, and just before removing from
the fire add a few drops OF fruit color
ing, and a better result will be obtained
by havoring each layer differently. Aft
er this layer has been beaten until per-
fectly cold turn out on top of the
white layer and smooth with a knife
the same as above. Chocolate layer
Process as above, using light brown
sugar. When about half done add one
fourth OF a cake of chocolate. After
beating until perfectly cold, turn out
on top of the pink layer and smooth ii
in the same way as the first two layers
were smoothed. Put In a cold damp
place so that the layers of the candy
will not separate, and when served
slice down like layer cake.

The last time / made my last APP

the depth of his centerboard. Indeed
when the dinner war over I was able
owing TO my lighf draft, to sail into
my hotel quite easily, while Mr.. Taft
was unabl to cross the bar, and had
to anchor outside the lightship over
night.
Il believe that my speech was the
more scholarly OF the two, but / must
admit that Mr.. Taft's carried more
weight han mine did. During my little

cracks at President Roosevelt, and the

Warmth of Distant Worlds.

FFN..H AOAt .NhG ANGW iOlh I1STdlu. ~
It is usually assumed that on the
more distant planets intense cold
reigns. the amount Of heat received
from the sun being exceedingly small.
1t is pointed out, however, by Professor
+. w. Very, that in case the atmos-
pheric conditions on such a planet
Neptune, for instance,) are favorable
q high surface temperature might be
kept up, the blanket of vapor holding
the heat as the glass of a greenhouse
does. '..
A greenhouse keeps warmer than the
outer air eve when not artifiicially
heated, because the luminous rays of
the sun pass easily through the glass.
while the dark heat rays emitted by
the warmed ground cannot get out.
The heat is thus. as ii were, caught
Xix a rat In a trap. The earth's at
mosphere acts In the same way. With
out 1t we should have roasting days
m freezing nights, as they probably
do on the moon. If the planets contain
unknown gases in their atmospheres,
which are highly absorbent OF heat
rays while allowing light rays to pass
sasily. a still more efficient heat trap
may exist there.

tale. Here is the yarn he spun:

Approaching the old lady with a

FANCY WORK
HURRIED NOWADAYS
Women Do Not Have the Time
to Devote to It That They
Had at One Time.

Fancy work. People surely do not
do fancy work any more!' echoed a
business woman not long ago when this
subject was mentiohed. That there is
O greater sale for "art materials for
fancy work than there has ever been
shows this remark to have besn with
out foundation. People do more fancy
work than ever, but they want quick
results and big effects" said one girl.
1T is tho day Of fast fancy work Just
the same as it is the fast other things
This girl who seemed to hit the crux
of h fancy work idea is ar expert
In the new cretonne work, which is the
most popular form of decorative art
this winter. Probably also there is no
work which gives so much in effect
for the one and in time invested.
Book racks, magazine racks, lamp
shades, boxes, blotters, picture frames,
desk pads and screens are all made
with cretonnes easily and deftly with a
little practice.
The process is to glue the cretonne on
q wooden frame, and 1t is n of the
signs OF the popularity of such work
these frames are now kept among
the art materials in Chicago shops.
Also the foundations for burnt wood
articles are nov pressed into h SER
vice by the woman whose fancy has
turned to cretonne work. The process
is simple, as the cretonne is glued to
the wood, the only thing necessary be-
ing to put the glue on so evenly that u
does not run through. A gilt guimpe
or braid is then added and the result
is a portfolio, letter box, or picture
frame which compares well with the
best articles of French design and high
price. Certain fabrics are necessary
for these articles-that Is. the French
designs Of cretonne should be used, and
the contrasting materials for Innings
should be chosen from the striped
beiges, deIaines, or other fabrics that
are of the same French period in char
acter.
