CANDIES TO FOLLOW FEAST
CONNECTIONS That Are Sure to Please
IL Care Is Taken in Cooking
and Mixing.
oBy MARTHA ELLEN rERRYMAN3

(By MARTHA ELLEN PERUVIAN
First there are some hints it will be
well to observe if you hope for good
fortune in candy-making: Granulated
sugar is preferable, and always used
unless some other kind is specified.
Candy should not be stirred while boil
ing. Cream of tartar should not be
added until the strip begins to boil,
and butter should be put in when the
candy is nearly done. Flavors are
most delicate when not boiled with
the candy, but added when it is taken
from the fire, or when it is being
pulled.
Butter Taffy.-Boil three cupfuls Of
brown sugar, one-half cupful of molas-
ses, and one-fourth cupful each Of
vinegar and hot water. When the
candy will crisp in cold water add two
teaspoonfuls of butter, cook three
minutes, flavor with teaspoonful OF
vanilla and cool in buttered pans.
Hickory-Nut candy.-Boil two cup
fuls of sugar and one-half cupful of
water without stirring until the strip
