As Christmas hears it's time to think about making Christmas candies. Particularly fOndant which is better for a period of ripening. There are many other candies, too. to be made for, Christmas boxes. delightful gifts from our own kitchens,
 There are certain precautions to keep in mind when making candy of any variety and perhaps a brief list of them will be helpful.
 First, always have, alltthe ingre- dients and utensils at hand and ready before beginning to cook the sugar.
 Second. do not let candy boil un- til the sugar is thoroughly dis solved. Fondant is stirred until the sugar is dissolved and the boiling point is reached. After that do not stir. All capdies containing milk must be stirred while boiling to prevent sticking and scorching. Stir slowly and use wooden spoon.
 Wiping Down Crystals,
 Be sure to wipe down crystals from the sides of ~the pan when making fondant. A pastry brush dipped in water or bit. of clean cheese cloth wrapped around the tines of a fork, dipped into water and the excess pressed out. either can be used. If the sauce pan is covered for a few minutes of the time, the crystals; should be wiped down as. soon as tho cover is re- moved. The wiping down should be done before the candy starts to boil and frequently during the cooking period.
 Another precaution is to be sure to let the candy cool before beat- ing it.. This applies to all fine grained candies such as fudge. fon- dant and penouchi.
 A ouhdLbottomed, aluminium pan is best for cooking candies. Never use an enameled pan that is cracked or otherwise imperfect. An aluminium pan prevents over cooking because the syrup can be cooled the minute it is removed from the fire. Moreover, candy can be stirred in an aluminium pan without pouring out onto a slab The pouring out and dripping onto the slab or platter may cause crys- tals.
 When it comes to making choco- late dipped candies, personal skill as well as definite knowledge is necessary. can tell you facts but practice alone will make per- lection.

 "Just a minute" McNeal inter- rupted. How are you so sure of all this?"
 Miss Holister eyed him disdain- fully. My brother and I have lived in this hotel since the build ing was opened" she said. We're respectable, law-abiding folks. The you we aren't complainers either. since that good-for-nothing Tracy King moved into the apartment above, this place has been bedlam! Bedlam!" she repeated emphat- icallqy. .'Not a minutes sleep at night. Horn-tooting and radios and jazz dancing at all hours! Wild parties. I guess know! I've got ears, haven't I? I've got eyes. Ask me how I know a thing like that"
 From the infection of her voice it seemed that Captain McNeal should have wilted instantly. But Captain McNeal did not wilt.
 "So his' parties disturbed you. did they?" he said evenly. Did you ever speak to him about it?"
 The pale eyes flashed. "I cer- tainly did. Miss Holster said. "For a night or two it was quiet. Then-the same thing over again! What did Tracy King care how decent, respectable folks lost their sleep? He was an evil man. I tell you. It's the devils work he was doing and the devil who came for him"
 There was a slight noise behind them and Bannister turned. The door into the next room had opened and a man stood on the threshold. He was under average height-a little man with thinning gray hair and mild eyes behind spectacles. He wore dark woolen house jacket. For an instant he stood there, cycling the group in some perplexity.
 Before the newcomer could speak, Melyina had seen him. She turned sharply. Matthew" she said. ''you kep out of this!"

 Excuse me, Miss Hollister," Me- Neal interrupted. !"I'll ask my own questions, if you don't mind. And I came here to sec your brother as well as you"
 Matthew Hollister came into his room. The flop-flop of his house slippers sounded monotonously and his eyes, resting on McNeal, seemed reproachful.

cial coating chocolate manufactured for this purpose. Both sweet and
 bitter coating chocolates are avail-
 able and if much dipping is planned you will need both-sweet for cov- ering nuts and fruits and bitter, or
 a mixture of both, for sweet cen- ters.
 Careful control of temperature of both the room in which the dip- ping is done and the chocolate it.
 self is of the utmost importance. A dry, cool room of a temperature of about 60 degrees r. is neces-
 sary. Be sure no other cooking is
 going on while dipping the choco-
 late because escaping steam will
 make the chocolate gray streaked.
 Melt the chocolate slowly over
 warm water and beat it frequently
 while heating. This insures d smooth. even coating, thick and glossy and altogether satisfactory Do not put the double boiler over
 the flame because there is too much danger of overheating. It's a good idea to cut the chocolate in
 small pieces. 1t will take at least thirty minutes for the chocolate to
 melt because the water which sur- rounds it Is of only lukewarm | temperature, not more than 110
 degrees F. The chocolateN itself should be about 80 degrees F. dur
 ing the dipping.
 Dipping
 Do not try to work with less than one pound of chocolate be-
 cause it's impossible to keep less at the proper dipping temperature. The centers to be dipped should be placed at the left hand, the
 melted chocolate directly in front and the waxed paper-covered trays at the right.
 The dipping can be done with
 the fingers. fork 'or a regular candy dipper. Drop the center into the chocolate with the left hand. press 1t down with the right hand until completely covered, then lift 1t out wiping off excess chocolate on
 the side of the bowl. Drop the GOV cred center on the heavy waxed pa- per covering the tray and twist your wrist slightly as the chocolate leaves your fingers to give the swirl on the top.
 If you intend to do much dip ping oil-cloth covered boards are convenience to have on hand. For a pound or two of chocolates the waxed paper covered trays or plat ters can be used but for any large amount of dipping the oil-cloth covered boards are better.
 The centers must be completely covered. If there is the tiniest opening or If the coating is thin, the center will ooze out and spoil the appearance and keeping quali- ties of a whole box of candies.

PARIS STYLES
BY MARY KNIGHT

Paris (UP)-"Big Bad Wolf" mittens for the meekest little fash ion lambs are amusing Paris for the moment.
 They are made of Ragondin and the idea emanates from the fertile brain of Marcel Rochas. The amusing way in which the fur is. utilized is that the fingers. instead of stopping where fingers usually hitch on to the hand, con- tinue on the back of the hand clear to the wrist. This gives the hand a very paw-like appearance which is considered very clever. Large gauntlet cuffs of fur extend up the arm about four inches. The palm of the hand is normal and lined with suede, glaze kid or, if you prefer, the fabric of the suit or coat with which the gloves are worn.
 The outfit made by Rochas to accompany the gloves is a sport suit, jacket and skirt in beige wool, sort of a alarming stitch weave. Un- der the jacket is a gilet or blouse effect in the fur with a collar and belt of the wool. A tiny hat like a bowl-shaped lamp-shade is also of the fur.

1.-I do not, most emphatically. Dr Morris S. Viteles, of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, hassh own that women have twice as many automobile accidents per mile dri- ven as men where they have been given equal training and drive the same type of machines under the same conditions. There is not the slightest reason for thinking they would make a different showing with airplanes = possibly worse.

NOT ALL THE HEAT. IN SOME HOUSEHOLDS IS DUE TO FRICTION.
 When father gets home from business at five or six in the eve- ming the household temperature, mother complains, quickly rises to
 85 and 90, and the protests of other members of the family are of no avail. Yet father is an ardent follower of OF Doc Brady and quotes from his teachings to con- solidate his position on all occas- ions. So, maybe, mother wheedles, a few sarcastications on the sub- ject in my column would be timely just now.
 Before we begin sarcasticating, however, may we not remind our readers that while the or Doc is always happy to say anything with in reason or if necessary bit be- Fyond to keep the peace and pre- serve the health of the home, nev- ertheless he declines to be any, body's catspaw. In this column we tell the scientific truth about phy- siology and hygieneI let the chips fall where they may.
 Even in our household, where, you might suppose, everything would be ideally. arranged in re- spect to health and hygiene, a completely satisfactory standard of temperature, humidity and ventila- tion has never been achieved. We struggled with the problem for years and years, installed various ingenious gadgets calculated to re- gulate and condition the atmos- phere, strove paternally and pa tiently to educate all hands not to monkey with the implements after we had set them on the correct hair trigger-but by Christmas. regret to relate, father invariably threw up his hands in despair and retired all shot.
 With the turn of the years this grew tedious. A sad day when man abdicates as king of his own castle. So at last we hit on a happy solution. Or so we thought. We picked up our things, and hied away to 8 country where there is no winter.
 We found the country. fully up to the claim as advertised. But my goodness. So far as escaping the traditional vexations of winter is concerned we know now that we were only kidding ourselves. I do believe the farther you get away from the cold damp northern win ter the more vapid are the popular notions about drafts, cold and catarrh. Here where summer is eternal you scarcely need to prac- tice belly breathing consciously. All you need, do is look and listen.
 I know what ails father in the sad case cited. Father has been sitting all day or maybe occasion- ally changing position to relieve cramp, in a store or office where the heat is included in the rent and hence is copiously used. So when he gets home at night he is about half stewed and unduly sensitive of the change from tropical climate to temperate. ,..
 Still, there is hope, as Dr Mun- yon would say. If father sincerely believes in my health teachings he can at least reach a compromise with the rest of the family. Let father walk home. If he can't afford that, then let him get out and shovel snow or-sorry for the cold folks back home-mow the lawn or dig in the garden while. Anything to stir up his lethargic metabolism a, bit. This is good health advice for any one whose occupation is sedentary. Try it and save fuel bills.
