Christmas Candy A Useful Suggestion Thebasis of almost every French candy Is fondant. This Is the personal Inven tion of a famous French confectioner, but tt can be successfully made by any care ful American cook. The schoolgirl- who wants to entertain her young friends by a oandy pull will enjoy the fondant party much more, once she has learned to make the candy herself. Here Is the Teclpe: Add two cups of water and a pinch of cream tartar to one pound ot granulated sugar. Stir this until the sugar Is all -dissolved, and no longer, rut the mlxturo 'over the fire In a granite pan, and while it Is' boiling remove every crystal which appears on the side of the pan. Let this boil for about six minutes, then draw .It back from the flame. Dip a fork In the syrup and then plunge It in cold water. ' If It forms a soft ball. It is done. Then this. mu,at be turned out on a plat ter very quickly. Do riot, scrape the sides, ot the pan.'- When the'fondant looks thready across the top turn the.. edges Into the centre. Do this until, the mixture Is about. blood heat, then .beat with a wooden spoon until It begins to crumble Turn this' out on a board aAt knead tt until it becomes a soft, 'smooth mass. This can .be1 packed In a bowl, .covered with oiled paper and kept until needed. It will- keep for a very; long time and may be used for bars, loaves, dipping and patties. Slowly knead ihe fondant after you have taken It out of the bowl so as to keep it all In one ball and a' 'smooth, creamy surface. As French candles nr, nearly all hand made, you .have almost unlimited opportunities for originality In coloring, decoration, flavoring, etc. The clever amateur will find a good chance here to make the little extra and always necessary spending money.

Just think, you can sleep In your -own comfortable homes tonight, most of you I Well, good-by, Delia. Give my love to your mother. Tell her I'll come -to visit her at Easter." atotlle stood on the campus, waving her handkerchief lo her departing friends. Taxis, drove up to the college and took their fluffy, excited burdens to the station. She turned back, feeling rather lonesome. The picture of her low-roofed Irish home made the tears start to her eyes. She read her mall. "Holly, dear," her mother wrote, "you won't be with us this year, but I know your heart will be In Ireland with the old folks. Anyhow, I want you to do Just as you used to do at home. Don't go to bed on Christmas night unless you can say you have made some ono happy." "That's something to think of," said Molly, as she slipped Into her hat and coat. She took tho car to the settlement where, tho college girls had a makeshift school, for poor children. Hero the little mothers brought their restless charges; while they learned sewing and cleanliness,- the babies were fed, washed and titled out. "Qqod morning. Miss Molls'. What are you going to' give us for Christmas?" asked a little girl, shyly. "And what Is Santa' going to bring you?" "I don't know, dearie; but what do A New Christmas Suggestion You probably wouldn't believe that a quarter or a yard of scrim would mako a charming series of Christmas gifts, but such1 a feat wss accomplished by ono clever-girl. "You see," she said, "father died In tho year and I Just hftd to econo mize' on something. The younger children had to continue their schooling whatever happened) and I had to buy things" which wo couldn't do without, such as shoes, cdats,' eatables, etc So I made up my mind, to keep all my gifts within a cer tain -limit When I found that even this wouldn't cover my expenses, I began to buy them In bulk, as It were. So I hit upon1 the Idea ot tho boudoir cushion. These dainty little presents are awfully easy' to make at home. Cut youif mate rial the size of the cushion you wish to make. Now measure off a one-Inch hem, draw six threads, count 49 stitches to the .centre. A stitch,, you know, Is two threads each way. If you are any good at embroidery, a charming touch of color may'be added In the shape of a wreath. Thls'i may be done In the' popular ribbon work, cross stitch or plain hand work. You' must take particular care to find the centre when you begin to embroider. Thir teen stitches from that will be the centre of the flower on any side. You can work tho flowers In pink, with yellow centres, and the leaves In a pretty shade of dull green. In partl.colored ribbon this Is stunning. Of course.) the under side Is made Just like the top.-tmly plain. Tress each plece separntely under a damp cloth when finished, and lace together with pale, flesh-coloied ptnk ribbon, tied In bows at the' corners. Use a rather coarse quaH Ity of. scrim and the result will be .better. Another novel pln-cushlon Is made of Vale pink linen, with pure white em broidery. Take two pieces of linen nine Inches square and mako the usual Inch wide -hem on It. About a quarter ot an Inch from the hem draw several threads. Hemstitch on either side to mako a. nar row beading for a ribbon. When you draw this through your cushion tt Is kept securely inside. A monogram can be worked In the centre with very little trouble and practically no expense. A quartor of a yard of linen, S3 Inches wide, Is enough to make two cushions. The cushion nroper 1b made of white cambric stuffed with sawdust. i Economy Hints Instead ot meat provide a good, nour- i Ishlng soup for dinner, Order good beef bones, add to them two ' quarts of water, and let simmer very gently for several hours. Next morning take oft the fat, add car rots, turnips, onions, celery, or a mixture of any vegetables you happen to have on ha.nd, and simmer again till the vege tables are done. Then season with pepper and salt, add some dumplings that have been boiled (separately, and you will get a really nourishing dinner ut quite small cost As- a change add pearl barley or rice at tne same time as the vegetables, and make, no dumplings. ; Pretty Christmas Gifts Little pots of growing ferns from the woods make delightful Christmas gifts.

"Here, get n. doctor, lltcyl You go for a. nurse right away, Tony," said tha girl, pushing two of the children toward the door, "Nurse cost money," said tho boy, oulktly. An hour passed by before medical aid came. Molly rushed about, borrowed a cot from the woman downstairs (after leaving a deposit of about four times Its value for a guaranteo of its return), made some hot broth and chafed the cold hands. The sick woman remained unconscious. The doctor worked almost alt ut'ght over his patient. "Starved and ex hausted," he explained briefly. .Tust as the first rays of Christmas dawn red dened tho sky tho woman moved her eye lids and turned her head townrd the window. "Maraya. whero aro you," sh said faintly. The sleeping child did not answer. "Miss Molly! Why, what aro you doing here, and where did this lovely bed come from?
