The Moqic of Candy Making

The extra body heat generated IN
welding the beater may cause the
chocolate to streak when she is
dipping. It takes about 10 to IS
minutes before the fondant stops
running and starts to mound up.
It begins to look like beautiful,
smooth, creamy cake batter and
about the same consistency. The
fondant is now left to ripen until
ready to be rolled and dipped,
which is all done by hand. In a
good day two of them can turn
out 200 pounds Of candy.
I watched while they were max
ing "snow on the mountain"
which is a coconut fondant,
dipped in thick chocolate coating
then rolled in coconut. While
Lillian's left hand pinches off the
exact amount Of cream center and
rolls it into a ball. her right hand
is dipping another center in choc-
olate. Then she deftly reaches
over with the left hand and coats
the balls with coconut. A heavy
chocolate coating, I'm told, will
keep the creamy centers from
drying out.
One process that intrigued me
was the tempering of the choco-
late. It is poured out onto al
handicapped table and worked,
with the hands until the right de-
gree of thickness is attained. :,
Vanilla (extract this time) is add,
ed to aid in the thickening. Justl
why it thickens the chocolate they
didn't know but nevertheless it,
does. You know the nice little,
swirls you see on top of choco-
lates? This is done by holding
the finger up until the chocolate.
forms string" then swirl or
letter (r, 0, m, or tells them the
flavor of the center) is traced over
the top.
When Kay makes peanut brittle
every one on Wisconsin for blocks
around can smell the tantalizing
aroma and they come rushing in,
to buy the crisp, crunchy candy.
When she first took over the
store the interior looked a bitl
grim but with the help of friend
she has transformed it into a gay.
attractive shop. The FREEDOM
inant color is a Mount Rainier
blue which is a blue-green shade
very popular in old Georgetown
houses. The motif for the color
full fange at the top was taken
from an old Chinese tapestry,
the diamond-shaped design isl
studded with colored sequins. One
wall and the ceiling is done in
stripes and until she called my
attention to it I supposed, of
course, it was wallpaper. But
armed with tape measures, yard
sticks, chalk and string they
climbed ladders and staked out
each stripe like a pair of survey
ors. They crawled around the
ceiling like flies and put each
bright sequin in place by hand.
The outdoor sign conforms in
color and design to the tones she
has used in the interior. Candy
boxes will also carry out the same
color theme.
Kay tells me she will deliver
her candies any place in the city
and will also take telephone and
mail orders. And will be happy
to tell you where to find the shop.

wall, keeping your feet fiat on the
floor. Catch yourself with your
hands. Push away from the wall
and continue. Stand as far away
as you can and still do this exer-

back and heels on the floor.
2. Lie on the floor on your back
with your legs straight and your
arms resting on the floor at your
sides. Bend your left knee up
close to your abdomen. Circle
your left ankle with your hands,
and as you straighten your leg
toward the ceiling, pull your hands
along your leg from ankle to knee.
Pull hard as the fingers slide along
the leg. This provides massage,
Return left leg and arms to the

CHICKEN SALAD.

fFrom Mrs. c. NJ, WdStington.)
For Mrs. B. Nee, Washington:
Select fat hen. After scrubbing
thoroughly rub salt on the out
side and sprinkle a teaspoonful
inside. Place in icebox overnight.
Rinse slightly to remove excess
salt. Place in large pan containing
about 2 quarts of boiling water
Ito keep juices in meat, add an

one small green pepper e pi-
mentos add to attractiveness
Mix thoroughly and add mayon-
aise to hold together. Serve on
lettuce cups with saltines, small
hot buttered biscuits or rolls and
cranberry relish.
To ado to the amount of salad,
cut lettuce in small pieces and
add 3 or 4 tablespoons of the
chicken fat from the broth. This
gives delicious flavor.
For dessert, apple cake would
be good. Bake larger cake from

been a favorite in our family. It
really is DELICIOUS.

NAME OF BULBS.
from Mrs. M. c. L., Chevy Chase.)
Recently, saw in the RICH a
request for the name of a flower
ing bulb which requires no water
| or soil.
We have one which has just
about finished it's poisoning.
There is a very little odor to the
white blossom, if any, and I think
we were all disappointed in it.
The bloom resembles a crocus,
but is smaller. One of my mothers
was pale lavender in color. When
it is through Towering it should
be placed in the ground for the
growth of its leaves. It's name is
colchicum and can be obtained
from the Bulb Of the Month Club,
1875 Madison, Dept. c. M. H., Chi
cago, 3, III.
We are strangers here and the
RICH and The Star have helped
to make me feel more at home. I
find that people have the same
problems in this district as they do
in the vicinity of Boston, from
where we come.
incidentally. I have some de-
licious recipes which our family
and guests enjoy and they seem
to be unknown here. One is for
brownie pudding and one is for
|layered lemon pudding. II any
lone would like them I'd be glad
to send them In.
