wv without candy? And this
does not mean the CONNER
cial products alone, but also the real,
old-time, homemade varieties that
literally melt in ones mouth. They
are holiday possibilities if one has a
good recipe to follow and will learn
the simple technique that governs
the operation.
First of all, buy candy thermom-
eter if you are to embark on this
fascinating work, for with this uten-
sill there is no guesswcrk of cooking
to the right degree, but certainty
that always gives finished product
up to a perfect standard.
Always in testing candy with a
thermometer allow the utensil to
heat gradually. If one does not have
a thermometer and has to test the
boiling syrup in cold water one will
have to depend largely on sight and
touch.
The thread stage is found by let
ting a little syrup drop from spoon
until it forms a thin thread. The
soft ball stage is reached when the
syrup forms soft ball between the
fingers when dropped in cold water
and a hard-ball stage when it
makes a hard ball between the fin
gers in the same water.
For the crack stage take out
little on the spoon, drop in ice water,
and it will harden instantly and
rack when broken in the fingers.
's:ha hard crack or last stage of the
syrup is determined when all the
water has evaporated and the candy
is almost ready to burn. At this
stage the mixture must be watched
closely.
Tests in cold water, as compared
with degrees on the Thermometer:
Thread stage, $50 to 2S5 degrees.
Soft ball stage, 238 to 240 degrees.
Hard ball stage, $50 to 255 de-
grees.
Crack stage. $50 to 2s0 degrees.

N LANNING the meals for over
the weeks end during the
= holiday season should be an
inspiring task for the home-maker,
and with Christmas coming this
year on Sunday it should be doubly
so-as the fete day and Sunday
dinner may be combined and it will
be an excellent opportunity to ask
friend (who might possibly other
wise be alone) to spend the happy
day with you.
AS Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day are very busy times, the Satur-
day dinner suggested is of nature
to be prepared in the early morning
hours. with perhaps forty or forty
five minutes actual cooking before
the serving of the meal.
The breakfast and supper on
Christmas Day are both easily and
quickly prepared, thus leaving the
dinner as the main work of the
day. A glance, however, at the
menu will quickly show the expert
enced housewife how this work has
been simplified, for with the plum
pudding in readiness, only requiring
reheating, the first course sent in
ready to serve and the salad pre-
pared, the goose and the vegetables
can be given the cooks undivided
attention until the making of the
pudding sauce.
The two additional Christmas
dinners have been planned for the
same number Give persons), one be-
ing quite an elaborate party dinner
and the other Gan English menuJ
along simpler and less expensive
lines.
1t has been thought best to give an
individual budget for each meal, and
in this way any Of the holiday din
Aers may be used, as best suited to
the individual requirements.
Special Points
To prepare the peanut and cherry
salad, drain large canned cherries
and insert in the cavities from which
the stones are taken small pieces of
shelled peanuts. Add to the pre-
pared cherries half the amount of
chopped celery and moisten with a
mayonnaise dressing to which a
little stiffly whipped cream has been
added. Serve in lettuce cups.
The sage and onion dressing for
the goose will be found particularly
