CANDYTOWN STORIES
~

really was a Candy at all before, but
now / knew l was. l stayed with
them till Christmas night, when they
had a happy surprise of some lovely
food and presents sent by some kind
people. Then l slipped away to find
Candytown, the place where all good
Candies go. Please, beautiful Can
dies, will you take me in and make
me one of you, even if I do look Diff
ferent?"
When the Strange Candy finished
her story tears were in many Candy
eyes. Peter Sweet-Chocolate ex-
pressed the feelings OF most of them
when he rose and said earnestly:
Strange Candy, we will, indeed,
make you one of us. I vote that we
make you our Queen Of Love and
Beauty at this ball, for we know you
stand for Love, and we have always
heard that where there is Love there
is Beauty too. What do you say,
Candy Citizens'"
At once Tom Taffy stood up and
seconded the motion. Every one in
the hall but the Bonbons voted yes"
Then they got the gold crown and
the gold-starred dress and slipped
them on the Strange Candy. They
fitted her PERFECTLY
And either there was some magic
in the garments or In their eyes, but
as the Strange Candy stood there
she seemed to change. Her figure
Strengthened, her lips smiled, her
eyes grew bright 1t was if the spirit
OF the little girl who had made her
shone through her until she was as
pretty and sweet as the little girl
herself, or as any OF the Candy chill
dren.

The Strange Candy
from Humankind

was lumpy in some places anc
stringy in others. She was of q
queer texture, too-not crisp like the
Peanut Brittles, or hard like Lemon
Drops, or soft like Marshmallows
but sort Of leathery, turning TO sugar
on the edges. The other Candies
could not help staring at her. Rose
Bonbon said, why don't they put
that person out? I'm sure she has
no business here"
But the stranger timidly made her
way to the platform and called out
in a pleading voice, please, dear
Candy people, let me tell you my
story, and then you can tell me
whether or not can stay with you.
The Candies politely kept silence
to listen to her.
Il have come all the way from
Humankind" began the stranger.
81 was made by a real Human
Child"
All the Candies pricked up their
ears-they are as much interested in
Human Children as Human Children
are in them.
Il was made by poor little girl, "
the Candy went on, "as a Christmas
present for her mother. She had no
money to buy a present, and there
was nothing in the house to make
one out Of but some sugar, a tiny
scrap Of butter and a little milk
which the child was to have on her
oatmeal for supper. When the
mother went out the child put the
sugar and butter and milk into a
saucepan to make candy OF. She
cooked and stirred until she made
me. But, unfortunately, she did not
know how to cook we'll, and so am
queer, as you see"
She paused, and all the Candy
people sighed deeply, they felt SC
sorry for her.
But hear what happened" wen,
on the Strange Candy. When the
mother came home the child brough,
me out in little saucer and said
Mother, dear, here's something
made all by myself for your. Christ
mas present What do you think
that mother did? She threw her
arms around her little girl ant
Rugged her, and said, You darling
child, l think more OF your having
made this candy than if you hat
given me present OF solid gold
1t is much too nice to eat right away
i shall keep it as long as l can.

over for Joy. l had not known if

sure they would be very becoming
to her; but when she tried them on
she was disappointed to find that the
gown did not fit her at all and the
crown pressed her head and made it
ache.
In the midst of these proceedings
a strange figure made her way into
the meeting. II was Candy girl
at least, the Candy people thought
so-but she was so queer looking
they were not certain. None of
them had ever seen her before. She
was indeed ugly. She was OF a mis-

choose. Many favorites were pro-
posed. However, Rose Bonbon had
made up her mind to be queen; and
she teased so and was such null
sance that the Candy people nearly
decided TO give it to her for the sake
OF peace. There was no doubt that
Rose was very pretty and would
look well as Queen.
At a meeting of the Candy peo-
pie, in the Town Hall, to make ar
engagements for the party, Rose in
sisted upon trying on the Crown and
Gown the Queen was TO wear. These
articles had been given for the occa-
sion by old Mrs. Raisin, who had
