Christmas Candies

dren and grown-ups are the most sat
isfactory, for then one can know ex-
actly the ingredients that are used in
their manufacture.
The foundations for most candies
is fondant. Take for making it, five
cups of granulated sugar and add two
cupfuls of cold water and set it on the
back of the stove until the sugar is
melted. Add one teaspoonful of cream
of tartar dissolved in a little water.
This does away with the sickly sweet
taste. Put the pan over the front of
the fire, where it will boil. Do not
stir it after it is hot and do not shake
the pan. When it has boiled a few
minutes, try it by dropping a tiny bit

When the sugar dropped in cold wa

hard ball when rolled between the
fingers, but is not crisp, pour it into
shallow pan and leave to cool till it
will wrinkle when the pan is tipped.
Stir it with large spoon until it is
quite cool. If it does not harden
enough to use. put it into the pan at
the back of the stove again until it is
melted, then let it boil again, trying
often. If, on the other hand, the fond

cold water and boil again until the
right consistency is attained. 1t may

told of Sir Spencer st. John, the Eng

this national courtesy often provokes
embarrassment. Sir Spencer, who is
gallant old bachelor, was prom
enading with some ladies in the park,
when he met a nurse girl with
bright-eyed baby. The ladies stopped
to admire the little one, and Sir Spen-
Ger asked whose child it was. "Senor,
it is your own,' replied the nurse, with
a courtesy. Sir Spencer has never in
quired as to the parentage of pretty
children since.

than a mere suggestion OF budding
strife behind the players side of that

today, expressed curiosity over their
probable fate as regards salary in

only right and proper source of relief
in the event the magnates decline to
boost the pay checks in proportion
with the extra games.
