A HOMEMADE CANDY THAT
Is BETTER THAN FUDGE

The most frequently made candy IN
the average home is fudge. For fudge
IL easily made and seldom failure.
But now | have discovered candy
that is as delicious, and just as easlly
and certainly made as fudge. This
candy is called "Soft Caramel Candy"
and / advise all fudge-advocates to try
il and see if they don't like IT even
better than their old favorte.
To Make Soft Caramel Candy. you
will require one cup OF granulated
sugar, three heaping tablespoons OF
butter, one cup Of corn slrup, one can
of condensed milk. and pinch OF salt.
Put the sugar. sirup, and condensed
milk into frying pan and mix these
three ingredients well; then add the
pinch of salt and the butter.
Place the frying pan on the range and
stir constantly till the candy begins
to boil up. Then, timing yourself
strictly, stir it for 20 minutes as it con-
tinucs to boil. Evey few minutes, to-
ward the end Of this Commute period,
it IS best TO test it by dropping little
Of the hot mixture into cup of cold
water, in order to see whether it forms
solid mass the minute it strikes the
water (also feel it with your finger and
taste il, TO determine the degree OF
hardness). II is just possible that not
all of the 20 minutes will be required,
If the fire is very hot one and the
candy boiling very briskly.
If YOU are not sure that the psychic
logical moment" has arrived TO remove
the pan from the range, it is best to
take it off anyway after 10 or IS min
utcs of rapid boiling, and beat it hard
with the spoon for n few minutes. The
psychological moment has arrived
when the candy is about ready TO
harden, yet is still not too hard TO pour
from the pan. Often one can sec il
beginning TO harden on the sides Oi
the pan--and this warning should always
be needed.
The next step is to pour the candy
from the frying pan into butterec
cake pan which you have placed in 8
cool place. The right size cake par
to use for this recipe is q square ont
measuring about eight by eight inches.
Do not mark off the candy int
squares. For, this kind of cnady j
broken, like peanut brittle. Yet
though IL is quite hard to the touch
it is nevertheless soft when eaten-hk
any caramel candy.
Children who like "chewy" candle
! land what child does not?) will pro
nounce this kind Of candy better thaI
any other that mother makes. T
break IL, use small hammer.
! Answer to "a Constant Reader:
Every evening, Wilmington daily commercial., 1922-04-24

One thing is that sentim ent plays but n
small part in the life of the average man.
He soon tires of love making. Kisses
pall upon him. With the woman TO
whom he is married he can then fall
back upon the role of partner,
He has the interest of founding
homo, and family with her. He has
children in whom he can take pride,
They have the same friends, go in the
same society They have a thousand
mutual interests that bind them to-
gether.
On the other hand, the setting up of n
| little establishment with a woman who
is not his wife, is done in secrecy and
shame. If there arc children, they are
nameless, and tragedy. He cannot
take the woman into his world, and
when he descends to hers it is to mingle
with those for whom he has contempt.
And he never trusts the woman, because
he knows that she who was too weak to
resist temptation once, will not be strong
enough to fight it a second time.
Men are more faithful to their wives
than they are to their mlstresses because
men are unconsclously influenced by the
mere fact that they havemade marriage
contract. They have entered into q
definite, concrete covenant that can be
enforced by law, and they are much
more apt to respect that than they are 6
mere implied gentleman's agreement
It is the feeling that he has got to stand
by bad bargain, that he can't go back
on the trade he has made, even if it is &
losing one, that makes many maj
stand by woman who is nagging, anC
lazy, and high tempered, and extrava
CANT, and everything that is repulsivt
to him in woman.
OF course there are men who default
on their marriage vows, bur most Of
them are pretty good sports who live
up TO the terms of the agreement they
have entered into.
Another advantage that the wife ha.
IS that the mere fact that she is man:
wife sets her apart in his eyes, and make:
her superior TO other women. She be.
longs to him. She is his pick of al
womenkind. She bears his name, ahc
his vanity is her shield and bulwark
That is why man can even have {
passing fancy for some other woman
and still admire his wife above all othe
women, and in his soul be true TO her.
And men admire goodness III womeI
more than any other quality. The
