LAD AND LASS

The story's old as paradise
A lad more loving far than wise
A lass too wise for love at all
Though she was fair and he was tall
A midday walk where poppies grow
A twilight ride-a moonlight row
She rather liked to hear him talk.
Though he was such "a silly gawk.
And then-a chap some forty stout.
Who owned some bonds and also cont
But knew too much to moon and stare
Walked straight away with Lady Fair
And what's the end? As if I know,
Except that poppies still will grow
That life is strangely gay or sad
For every lass and every lad!

MAKING CANDY AT HOME
NOT A DIFFICULT TASK
Elaborate Paraphernala Unnecessary Ordinary Cooking
Appliances Sufficient. Recipes and Processes are Simple

upon dollars of capital The housewife
continues to dabble in the homemade
kind, and only dreams of the confec-
toners kind, when, as a matter of fact,
1t is just as easy to successfully produce
the latter as the former. 1t is only a
matter of carefully following the same
recipes the confectioner uses.
Candy-making by confectioners, how
ever, is a profession, and their recipes,
like the doctors prescription, cannot
always be read by the layman Before
they can be used by the housewife in an
ordinary kitchen they must be shorn
of technical terms and recast in language
that she will understand The directions
herein given are professional recipes al
tered to meet the requirements of the
housewife. Ordinary cooking utensils
only are necessary, and all expensive
paraphernalia may be dispensed with.
The confectioner uses great kettles and
labor saving machinery because he
manufactures in large quantities, not
because they are essential to the pro-
duction of good candy.
Fondant and How to Make It
The innumerable cream candies, and
In fact almost every variety of sweets
displayed in the confectioner's shop, can
be traced to simple combination OF

cover it with water and stir until it is
thoroughly dissolved. Then put on the
fire and cook again. The grains must
be wiped from around the sides of the
pan before it comes to boil, and care
should be taken not to jar the pan while
1t is cooking or cooling.
The above directions are for white
fondant, the kind used most by con-
fectioners, This may be favored and
colored in variety of ways by follow
ing the directions given later. There
is one other kind of fondant which goes
well i'll the combinations to be made.
This is made from

AAY cherish desire, especially
WW Christmas time, to under
stand the mysterious art of
dy-naking--to manufacture in her
own kitchen, with ordinary cooking
utensils, some of the many toothsome
sweets displayed in the candy store?
Like the conjurer's trick, ut is easy
when you know how it is done" There
is really no mystery in the art of candy
making, but confectioners usually keep
their secrets; therefore, cook books CON
tain only such candy recipes as are in
tended to be used for home production.
When these recipes are followed the re-
suit is always homemade looking candy,
candy that anyone can tell was produced
in an ordinary kitchen by an amateur.
1t does not even taste like the product

But, it is argued, it is pure, wholesome
candy, both palatable and nutritious
So is the best store candy, and this is
