Two cups graduated sugar, l cup
shelled almonds. Is teaspoon cream
of tartar.
Stil cream of tartar into sugar.
Put sugar in iron frying pan and
stir over hot fire until pan Is hot
and sugar begins to melt, but not
discolor. Reduce heat, cook until
sirup is formed and all sugar is dis
solved.
As strip forms keep reducing the
heat. When thoroughly dissolved
and sirup is a golden brown, add
nuts and turn onto well-buttered
platter. Let stand in cold place
until hard. Remove from platter
and break in small pieces.
GIace Nuts and Fruits
Nuts should be perfect halves.
Any kinds can be used. White or
tokay grapes, sections of tanger-
ines, we'll scrubbed prunes may also
be used. The grapes are carefully
washed and dried. The tangerines
are pulled into sections and every
particle of white fibre removed. Fine
large prunes should be used. They
are well washed and the stones re-
moved. A blanched almond is put
in place of the stone.
One cup g%ranulated sugar, one
sixteenth teaspoon cream of tartar
one-quarter cup water.
Mix well and bring to boiling
point over slow fire. Do not stir
after strip begins to boil. Boil I'M
til strip is pale straw color. Put in
to pan of warm water to prevent
hardening and further cooking. Dip
nuts and fruit into strip and drop on
well-buttered plates. Put in cold,
dry place to become hard and keep
on ice until needed. The fruit and
nuts are lifted from the strip with
a fork.
To Coat With Chocolate
Use dipping chocolate, Break ono
pound into small pieces and melt
over hot, not boiling, water In top
of double boiler. Stir in two dessert
spoons of olive oil while the choco-
late is melting. Stir with fork.
When chocolate is melted pour
about half of it into shallow bowl
and let cool. Work with fingers to
keep chocolate smooth. When cool
but soft and smooth roll prepared
center in chocolate and drop on
large platter covered with paraf1in
paper.
As chocolate hardens add enough
warm chocolate to soften working it
in with fingers.
Centers should be made into de-
sired shapes and placed on left of
dipping chocolate. Platter to receive
finished candies should be on right.
The attractive swirl on tops of
Handicapped chocolates IS made by
bringing the thumb and forefinger
up the sides with a tiny bit of Il
flourish at the top.

Answer:
1 should think, my dear, that you were taking the surest
way and the shortest cut to disnlusion the young man and
make him dislike you instead of love you. For there is no
other woman in the world so unattractive as a jealous fury,
nor is there any other woman of whom a man so quickly
wearies.

Sister Mary Gives
Tested Recipes for
Home Made Candy

It's amazing the sort " candy the
perfectly inexperienced and imper-
fectly equipped candy maker car
turn out of her own kitchen.
If you have a double boiler, {
wooden spoon and a smooth por-
celai sauce pan you can work Won
ders. A thermometer is desirable
but not necessary. Mods and trays
and racks and marble slabs and
"dipr crs" facilitate the work to some
extent but are not necessities.
The one absolute necessity for the
success of many kinds of candy is a
bright. clear day. The required tenn
peratrre may be artificial, supplied
by the ice box, but the atmosphere
must be dry. Do not attempt to
make glace fruits under other con-
ditions.
Nuts should be cracked and ready
before the candy making is started.
Fondant should be made W or
three days before dipping. Cover
tightly in a bowl and let stand in a
cold place.
Tho regulation of heat is impor-
tant. Fondant should boil fast over
a high flame. Caramels require a
slow. steady heat. Nougats use two
temperatures in their making. A
nut brittle should be cooked over a
low fire. the flame being decreased
and finally extinguished before re-
moving from the pan.
Care must be taken in making a
brittle of pure sugar. Sugar burns
quickly after melted and the heat
must be reduced to prevent risk of
fire. Burned fingers, il nothing
worse. might result.
TRY" the candy in n saucer Of
cold water rather than cup.
Fondnt
Two cups graduated sugar, u
teaspoon cream of tartar, II cup
water.
Mix sugar and cream of tartar;
add water. Stir until well mixed.
Put oVer slow fire and bring to boil
ing point. Watch carefully that
suga" does not burn on bottom of
pan before it is dissolved. As crys-
tails form on sides of pan wipe them
off with a cloth dipped in cold
water.
Have pan of water close to pan of
strip. Cover fingers with cloth and
dip into cold water. Swab few
crystals dip into cold water. Con-
tinue this until sides are clear.
Cover and let boil rapidly two min
utes. Remove cover and boil slowly,
wiping down crystals as they form.
Boil until a few drops tried in a
saucer of cold water form soft ball
when picked up with fingers. Ball
must be firm enough to hold but
soft and pliable.
Remove instantly from fire and
place pan in larger one of cold
water. Let stand until cool. Beat
with wooden spoon until creamy.
When too stiff to peat turn into a
large platter and knead until soft.
Put in oiled bowl and let stand
covered in cold place at least three
hours.
