fourth teaspoon cream of tartar, one cup English walnut meats cut up, one teaspoon vanilla. Mix above ingredi- ents except nuts and flavoring, until well dissolved and boil slowly until a little dropped in cold water forms a soft ball. Remove any grains which may form around the edge of the dish with a little cloth wrapped around a fork. Pour on a shallow platter and let stand until per- fectly cold, without stirring. Then beat with a knife as long as possible. Add nuts and flavoring and knead as you would dough. The consistency of the mixture will change rather suddenly and get very stiff. As soon as it begins to stiffen stop beating it and knead. Form into a sheet about one-half inch thick on paraffine paper. When cool mark into squares. Dorothy Eddington.
