over the contracts awarded In those
months Of last year. The total for
the 1897 period Is $30,354,9 300. Last
year this amounted to $l8,12l. 700.
Residential work tn the single month
Of June, 1887. totaled $3,032,700.
The Washington gain in residential
work is particularly significant in
view Of the smaller gain which has
been recorded as an average for the
81 States east Of the Rocky Noun
tains. During the first six months
residential construction in this broad
er area was about 81 per cent ahead
OF the same months of 1886.
Non-residential construction moved
from last years six-month figure OF
$16,752, 700 to $2O839,20 at the end
Of that period in 1887. This consti-
tutes rise of "a per cent.

 Branded Peach FIambe
 Turn the branded peaches in. to a saucepan and heat them, but do not let them come to Q boil. Remove to a handsome dessert bowl, pour more brandy over, light the brandy and send the flaming dish to the table, where the hos. tess will serve c peach for each guest, placing the fruit on a bed Of vanilla ice cream made a little hollow to accommodate the round peach. Pour oyer c little of the brandki 1 liquor.
 The hotel service of Peach F1an1- be is quite impressive. The waiter carries the burning bowl to the table, shows 1t to the guests, then removes it to Q side table where the peaches are served on small saucers of vanilla ice cream, inolds ed especially for this unique dish. The saucers are in turn placed on Q lace paper dolly and then on glass or china plates. I should think that brick ice cream, or round-packed vanilla cream cut in slices and slightly hollowed would do very well for home use.

THE CHEF SUGGESTS
Two Novelties For Your
 Christmas Or New Year Menu

 CheE-The PIasa--New York

1 fruit, and trim each of the four pieces down to a tapering shape that resembles a parsnip or a long radist. The stem-end should be about an inch in diameter. Trim the spiny leaves into slender sliv- CTS, about four inches long: make little groove or slit around the edge of the pineapple finger, use ing an apple corer, or 6 sharp knife. Into this stick six or eight leaf spears.
 Pack tall grapefruit glasses with bed of finely cracked ice; over this pour some grenadine, put on the silver rims and in the ruddy ice stick the pointed ends of the pineapple fingers, allowing four to each glass per person. Serve on plates, with powdered sugar in little paper baskets.
 This relish is eaten as you would bite into radishes. Remove one pineapple finger at Q time, dip the tip in sugar, eat a portion: dip the tip back in the grena- dine, then in the sugar, and take another bite and so on It is, I believe, the most re- freshing of all appeti2ers and the most unusual. Serve 1t as Q first course.

Home made candies are one of the most attractive of all Christ mas gifts. Young and old enjoy them. And If they are attractively packed in holiday baskets or boxes, holly trimmed and beribboned, they vie with the best store" candy and don't cost half so much. Children can make uncooked candy with no danger of scorched fingers, and so the gift can be truly their own. Here are some toothsome dainties made with sweetened condensed milk. They are literally magic recipes because they are guaranteed failure proof.

Sift confectioner's sugar. (This will measure approximately two and one-third cups after sifting). Work into chocolate mixture. Fold in chopped dates and nuts. Shape mixture into buttered pan, smooth ing out. Place in refrigerator until thoroughly chilled. Cut into squares for serving.

 xOf course they will taste and taste against each type of candy made. And they will try your patience by switching Johns name to Mary's hasket or the other way around. But it is all constructive; they are learn ing with Mother the spirit of planned giving, or giving something of themselves with each gift.
 Such, indeed, should be the spirit Of Christmas. Your cookbook will give you many delicious candy re- cipes, but Lere are a few suggestions for those happy gatherings around the kitchen table the week before Santa Claus is due.
 Hawaiian Fudge s.2 cups sugar
 sal-2 cup of cream
 1-2 cup of crushed canned pine- apple
 tablespoon of butter
 1-4 cup of chopped nuts
 Some green coloring
 Boil the sugar, cream, crushed pineapple and butter to 238 degrees. Tint the mixture pale green, cool and beat until creamy. Add the nuts, and pour into buttered pan. Mark into squares.
 Marmaladc Drops
 2 cups of sugar
 1-2 cup of milk
 IA cup of water
 1 tablespoon of corn syrup
 tablespoon of butter
 3 tablespoons of orange marma-
 Jade
 IA teaspoon of orange havoring Boil sugar, milk, water, corn syrup and butter to 238 degrees, without stirring. Cool to about l40 degrees, beat until creamy and about ready to set, add the orange marmalade and fiavoring and beat again. Drop by spoonsful onto a buttered pan, or oiled paper.
 Banana Cream Squares
 2 cups of sugar
 S-4 cup of milk
 tablespoon of corn syrup
 2-3 cups of mashed banana pulp tablespoon of butter
 Bring the sugar and milk to boil- ing, add corn syrup and banana pulp, wipe down the edges of the pan and boil without stirring to 234 de- grees, or in other words the soft ball stage. Add the butter, cool to l40 degrees, beat until creamy, pour into buttered pan, cool and cut into squares or any shape the children wish.
 All cook books have plain fon- dant recipe if you wish to adventure into making fancy bon bons. For children I prefer grapes, Brazil nuts, oceans, sections of oranges, and whole fresh kumquats dipped in fondant. With this type of candy they are getting their sweet for quick energy and their fruit for health.

Breakfast
 Goes Festive
 on Christmas

Sometimes breakfasts on feast days are rather sadly neglected in the attendant preparations for the holiday dinner. But breakfast on Christmas is an important meal for that's when all the family gath- CTS round and opens all those gay and mysterious packages that have been nestling tantalizingly under the Christmas tree.
 Here's a suggestion for breakfast on Christmas-EggS Benedictine. This festive dish-half a toasted English muffin (well-buttered, of course), covered with a savory slice of grilled ham, topped with a poached egg and served with tangy Mock Hollandaise Sauce-is delicate but hearty. With glass of chilled fruit juice and plenty of steaming coffee e-there,s a complete breakfast that's attractive, easy to prepare and satisfying enough to tide the family over until the dinner hour.

 Mock HolIandaise Sauce
 tablespoon butter
 2 tablespoons flour
 3-4 cup irradiated evap. milk

 Real Hollandaise Sauce is very difficult to prepare because 1t cur dles readily. But you'll have no trouble with this fool-proof recipe for Mock Hollandaise Sauce-for the creamy-rich irradiated ecaporat- ed milk blends with other ingredi- ents to produce sauce of superb smoothness, besides being less ex- pensive and equally nourishing.
