Milton speaks in one of his poems about A feast of nectar'd sweets" If he had had before him a gay bowl piled high with uit-fiavored Christmas candies, he could not have described them better. It is the fruit. that gives them the delic- ious nectar-like taste-and it makes them healthful too; easy to digest so that the very young and the very old can have a goodly share, as they should at Christmas time. The recipes given below will tedd you how to make candies of this kind, and this is what to do with them...
 Candies a Gay Note
 You probably have some metal molds, the kind you use for pud- dings and jellies and ices. They come in all sorts of fanciful forms, stars, flowers, fish and animals. Line them with red paper, fill them with the candies and set them on mantlepieces and fireside tables and in the guest rooms. They give a charming Christmasy note to the house. A large mold filled with the condies, encircled by a holly wreath and flnaked by red candles in silver candlesticks can be used as a centerpiece for an informal Christmas supper.
 Another nice thing to do with homemade Christmas candies is to make gifts of them. Yo u can put them in amusing little bags such as the French use for bon bons. Ordinary shelf paper with 8 lace edge makes very pretty bags. The all-white variety is especially effective with the lace edge at the top of the bag, which should be tied flour-sack fashion with broad ribbon. Bright, dark blue ribbon is pretty for this pur- pose and blue stars in slevera sizes may be pasted onto the bag in a haphazard manner, or silver ribbon and silver stars may be used.
 Gift Candies
 Candy bags for children should be very gay. Pictures cut from nursery books may be applied as decoration, and bright lines or waves of color may be painted with water color along the top edge inside and out.
 Italian hand-blocked papers make beautiful candy sacks, and these may be tied with broad colored linen tape in imitation of the linen ribbon which is used so much in Italy. Finish the top edge of the bag with a line or a little decorative motif in gold paint.
 The fancy wrapping papers which the shops bring out at Christmas are perfect for bonbon bags-nothing could be nicer. Scraps of old chintz or brocades or of silver or gold cloth can be made into more durable bags which may later be used for sew ing accessories or buttons. Don't fogret to wrap your candies for the fabric bags in glazed paper.
 And NOw-The Recipes!
 Pineapple Creams-Boil together two cups sugar, two-thirds cup milk and one-fourth cup butter, to soft ball stage, 258 degrees. Add one teaspoon lemon juice, and col or pale green. Cool, and beat very stiff. Add one-half cup crushed pinetpple, four tablespoons chop ped maraschino cherries, four ta- blespoons chopped mint cherries, all we'll drained. Drop. by small spoonfuls on a greased sheet.

A Buffet Supper
 for Christmas Eve
Beginning of Holiday Fes- tivities Calls for Little
 Variety in Menu

It is fitting that 8 holiday so in- portant as Christmas should have an introduction. Perhaps that is why the myths of Santa and his reindeer were started so long ago. At any rate, Christmas eve is the beginning of the holiday festivities for young and old.
 Christmas eve can be made truly delightful for the whole fam- fly. As far as children are con- cerned, one must be careful to not overdo the festivities. A tree hung with apples and a few shining orna- ments and festooned with strings of cranberries and popcorn and col- ored papers gives just as much pleasure as one deliberately trim med. Simple toys are often those most loved by the little folks. Just so that everything is done in the spirit of Christmas-that is what counts with children.
 For grown-ups, a buffet supper with few friends often sets the pace for the Christmas holidays. This supper need not be elaborate in fact, 1t shouldn't be, for 1t IS only an Introduction to the festivi- ties which are to follow. Miss Inez S. Willson, home economist, sug- gests foods which lend a holiday touch to the buffet supper.

For those with 3 small family there is no cut of smoked meat so tasty and econom- ical as ham. A good ham is sei- ected, sugar cured cottage butt a piece of meat well suited to sim mering with vegetables or baking in fruit juice. It is delicious served hot or sliced cold. The size of the pieces vary from three-quarters to about three pounds. since there IS little shrink if properly cooked, the homemaker will find the smallest size just right for two, and the larger pieces for serving at least five ample portions.

Then place in a fairly large kettle, cover with warm water and bring slowly to the boil, boil for a few minutes, then reduce the heat and let the meat simmer, allowing not less than 1S1-2 hours for the smallest piece to about 3 1-2 to 3 hours for the larger pieces.

Spread with prepared mustard, sprinkle with brown sugar and pour over about cup of any fruit Juice. Bake slowly in a moderate oven (360 d. F.) basting frequently with the fruit juice. Serve with a ssauce made by thickening the liquid sin the pan.

"Curvey Specialist

American League batsmen may expect some scientific stuff from Monte M. Weaver, the pitcher Washington recently obtained from the Baltimore Internationals.
 Weaver did graduate work in mathematics at the University of Virginia for three years. He was an instructor at the same time and Bill Wranek, of the University s News Service, writes:
 ''The trick note is that Weaver got master of science degree in 1929 for a thesis written on curves. Its exact title was The companion to the litnus: the curve whose vec- toral angle is proportional to the square of the arc length. Applica- tion to the railway transitional curve
 "Weaver went on with work for Ph. D., but decided to devote more time to professional ball as his arm improved. He did not play for Virginia because he had pitched professionally before he entered.

 Tt will mean that Grove and Earnshaw can pitch the first four games. And if I may say so Grove and Earnshaw come pretty close to being the Athletics in person. Give either one to the Yankees or Wash ington and either team would win the American League pennant."

Hints of the possibility of a |liouor feud started the police auth |orities on a new trail to-day in |uuest of information which might possibly explain the circumstances |Of the strange shooting Saturday levening of MT and Mrs John Kviet- |kus in the kitchen of their home lon Welland avenue. There Is noticeable change of sentiment af- |fecting the theory that the two were shot and seriously wounded las the result of neighborly quar- 1rel over trees.
 To-day at St Mary's hospital it #was reported that Mir Kvietkus was sinking rapidly and that his condi- 3tion was very critical. Mrs Kviet- 1kus, who was believed to be mor- Itally wounded Saturday night, has Arallied and appeared to be the stronger of the two. Her condi- 5tion Is also serious. The names of 8the two remain on the danger list zof the institution.

Paving work costing $85,000 will be done by the city during 1332. This is the figure set up Tn the coming years budget which was adopted last night by the alder men after brief study of the figures. Superintendent of Streets Thomas J. Fleming plans. it is un- derstood, to resurface East Main street from Exchange place to Wolcott street and West Main street from Exchange place to Will low street.
 As the new charter wipes out the mandatory one-half mill paving tax fund, the city was not obliged to set up af item for the work in the 1882 budget: However, 1t was de- cided that the work of paving the city's streets must be carried ahead from year to year if the munich pality is to avoid having the job get too big for it.
 No comment on the 1882 budget was made by the aldermen and the figures were adopted as set up by the board of finance. The 34 mill tax rate for 1892 was also unanimously approved.
 Last nights meeting was n brief one. A request was received from the board of education of the town of Morris for permission to remove a school house located on city reservoir property. When the city acquired the land the school building was on the land and 1t was allowed to stay there. The
