GOSSIP AND ADVICE FOR THE
WORLD OF WOMEN.

There Is perhaps not young girl
TO be found who cannot make fudge

is the clever one, however, who
jkes them in such Il way that they
G acceptable in the home as table
sweets and who also extends her
: knowledge OF the art Of sweetmaklng
until she fairly supplies the home with
toothsome bonbons.
When fudge is made in the usual
way II is tossed cut on a plate from
the pan on which 1t has hardened, the
act being accomplished so quickly
that 1t produces many broken pieces,
not particularly attractive to the eye
1T is then devoured between meals by
z sweet lovers, and it tastes, OF course,
delicious. But the young girl who
takes sweetmaking seriously Is not so
/ recklessly eXtravagant with her fudge.
She appreciates, moreover, that care
fuiness and neatness, are the keynotes
Ito be observed in making all sweets
that are to be used on the home table.
This girl regards it us Of primary
importance that the pans In which the
fudge is poured after 1t is made should
be square or rectangular in shape In.
stead OF circular. There Is then no
waste Of Informed pieces. Before the
fudge hardens she takes very sharp
Sknife and marks it off into squares.
Then when It Is ready to handle she
9piles 1t on dishes in little symmetrical
squares and does this work so evenly
and attractivety that they appear as II
! they had been arranged in the shop
! Of a high-class confectioner. In such
a form fudge makes not only desir.
able afterdinner sweet, but 1t is also
a pleasing table decoration.
For some time it was the desire Of
10 young girl skilled in sweetmaking to
( produce marrons glaces. At length
she found French recipe that guided.
