conversation.

Brown, in response to a statement

one or two orders a week for candy.
There wasn't much profit for the lit
tie woman. When everything went
well she had few dollars above ex-
penses as the result of many hours of
work, but when she made the slightest
mistake in the cooking most of the
profit was lost. She liked to make
candy. 1t was the one thing she liked
to do better than anything else. Why,
she asked herself, couldn't she turn
the talent she had in this direction to
making living for herself and fam
lily? Nothing was more suited to her
needs. She could remain at home,
near her stricken husband, and watch
over her little household If it were
not for the fact that occasionally a
batch of candy spoiled in the making,
she could make profit, however
small it might be, on every order. If
she only could guard against these
mistakes she would be safe, but how
could she? A friend with whom she
consulted pointed a way out
"You have gift for candy making"
said this friend, 'but there are various
things you have to learn. There must
be a way to prevent the failures you
sometimes encounter. Read up on

Learned to Avoid Failures.
She studied candy making from the
scientific end. She got thermometers
and used them so we'll that thereafter
she made no failures. She studied
the proportions of the various ingredi-
ents that went into the different things
she made and never departed from the
formula. To all the knowledge she &C
quired from her reading she added her
great natural ability.
One thing which she did from the
start operated in her favor. She
charged price that seemed very high,
but which made people appreciate
what they got. For everything she
made she charged one dollar a pound
Her orders increased so fast that
her little girl could not attend to all
the deliveries. She had to hire a boy.
Then she paid what seemed a stag
gering price to have boxes designed
for her that would be distinctive and
add to the attractivene3s of the
candies. Many days she was at the
range for hours at a stretch, and then
she put in other hours boxing her
product. She never let anything go
out until she was fully satisfied that
it was as near perfection in quality
and appearance as she could make it.
1t was hard, very hard work. Money

the tills of the physicians and the

earnings. The more she worked and
the more she earned the more she
seemed to need.
But while she toiled her business

served came to know of her brave
struggle and this, added to the salts
faction those who knew good candy
felt, widened the circle of her patrons.
Someone suggested that it would

We may learn by slow degrees skill

know these things, happy are We if We
do them" There is no surer way of
steadfast peace in this world than the

any misery that is about us; nor is
there any better way of growth in
