4 can6y-makinc outfit for the girl go
ing AWAY to boarding school or college
is a rather unusual and very acceptable
gift. 1t should be made up OF good
supply Of many OF the things needed. TO
make the candies dear tOsa school girl s
heart.
II YOU know the girl has a chatting
dish, that need form no part Of the out
fit. II she has none. and you cannot
afford TO include that in your gift, ouy
a little spirit lamp in a secure tin frame,
with a small tin pan fitted over It Such
little stove is quite ineXpensive-it can
be bought in some places for . cents.
Pack this in the bottom Of wooden
box and next to il put tightly corked
bottle of wood alcohol or denatured alco-
hol, with which to feed the lamp. Then
add a granite or enamel-cOvered spoon
little larger than a tablespoon, ana
couple Of scent teaspoons.
Fork for Dipping Chocolates.
Put in a couple Of granite pie plates
| for the candy to harden and cool in
There must be a wire fork for dipping
chocolates, and, II convenient, some little
molds or cutters for creams. A sugar
thermometer is a convenient, though not
essential, part Of the outfit. A measuring
cup could be added, although the posses
| sion of some sort of cup by the school
| girl may be taken for granted.
, There should be a roll Of waxed paper
on which many candies can be dried,
and in which all candy can be conven-
iently wrapped to keep it fresh and to
send II away.
I So much for the implements and uten-
sils, Some Of these may seem unneces-
sary and other may suggest themselves
But see that all necessary for the max
/ ing of at least the simpler sweets are
included.
The Supplies.
The supplies should go in next. shelled
nuts In glass bottles or in paper boxes,
a 1O-cent tin can Of candied ginger. white
and brown sugar, a couple OF cakes OF
chocolate, half a pound OF mixed candles
fruits packed in a tin box. and some OF
the chocolates made especially for dipped
chocoIates-an these may be q part OF
the supplies
There should also be some davorinE
extracts-almond, vanilla, lemon, orange
and peppermint. And some harmless
| colors a box Of dessicated cocoanut ano
some confectioner's sugar add further to
the treasures OF the box.
Like the implements in the box, the
supplies can be added to or lessened az
taste and the RpeketOook make advis'
able.
