A GOOD RECIPE FOR
 CANDY FONDANT

Decorated fondant, in a variety of shapes and sizes, adds . gay note to tho Christmas package. Use candied fruits, nut halves, cin- namon drops, angelica, bitter chocolate, or red and green shot.
 2 cups sugar
 X cups water
 2 tablespoons white corn syrup
 l teaspoon vanilla
 Cook sugar, water. and syrup to- gether stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Cook to 23s degrees F. (soft ball stage). Remove the crystals on the side of the pan with fork covered with c clean cloth dipped in cold water. (This helps to prevent a grainy texture.) Pour syrup on e col dwet platter and cool to no degrees r. Beat with a spatula until white and creamy. Add vanilla and knead until the mass is smooth and free from Jumps. Put away in a glass jar to ripen for 2 or 3 days. The fond ant may be colored by adding few drops of pink, red, or green vegetable coloring, and may be softened, when desired, by heating over hot water.-By Marjorie Black in McCall's for December.

There are occasions on which to be leisurely and occasions on which to move fast, and where cof- fee is concerned the time to take your tlme' is when you drink it.. Gulp 1t, and you lose it's savor. Sip 1t slowly, and you enjoy to the full its fragrance.
 But when 1t comes to the "mak- ings" of cup of coffee--thats dif- ferent. Then the element of time may result in sta lencss-put the beverage at disadvantage.
 The oils in coffee must be fresh or they lose their aoma and take on a certain bitterness. The soon CT coffee is used after 1t Is roasted, the finer its fragrance. tho more vital its strength and flavor.
 This knowledge is tradition with the Arab and the Turk who for centuries have been recognized as the worlds foremost connois- seurs of good coffee and who for centuries have toted their coffee- making apparatus about with them. At home or abroad, when ever they felt the need of stim- ulant they have set up Tight houseke eping" at a moments no- tice and from recently roasted cof- fee and briskly boiling water have brewed a beverage that satisfies.
 Tho little great grandmother of Colonial days assured of the nec- essity for bringing freshly roasted coffee into immediate solution with boiling water, never roasted or ready to complete the performance.
 While the housewife has gained in convenience the coffee in some cases has lost in flavor. Staleness steals sweetness from coffee too long out of the roasting oven and 1t has not been altogether easy indeed sometimes it has been al- most impossible-to keep the ma chinery of distribution in swift mo- tion.

Not the Cost But the Scenery Makes the Banquet

It really doesn't cost any more to have q gorgeous holiday ban ouet than to have "just another meal" If you are going to DO tempted this season to give way to that lean purse feeling and "try 10 do without" an elaborate" Thanksgiving or Christmas, think hard. It isn't the most, but the s'scenery'' which makes Q banquet. You can have Q real one for aS It, fie as S2.SO for six people, if you follow the practical advice of Sarah Field splint in McCalrs for De- cember:
 aHere are the menus for three feAsts which our staff cooked and served in McCalps kitchen. The cost of each is given. All the ma terlals were bought in the New York mafket--where prices are higher than in most places. Six persons were served generously. and the turkey dinner would have been enough for eight. Costs Will be less, of course, if you live in the the country and have your own chickens. vegetables. or canned goods. l., cupg, and used eVhpOrhteo HalH for cooking. Either canned or pack aged mince- e-meat can be used Tor the pie. We bought a two-pound can of plum pudding: the portions seemed large enough considering the hearty dinner that had gone before.
 "The food looked fascinating when it came to the table. It was arranged on our prettiest dishes, accompanied with gala garnish- ings. The veal birds. for instance, were served on a round platter, with the sweet potatoes making a mound in the center. A small paper friIl on a toothpick had beile stuck in one end of each plump brown bird, giving 1t the aristocratic appearance of choice game.
 "A few extra touches. costing nothing in money and very. little in time, will turn any plain meal into a banquet. Here are some de- vices we use:
