Conservation Candies
A Christmas Gilt Suggestion.
What prettier or nicer Christmas gift could there be than a dainty box of home-made candy? It would be very nice to get a pretty box, deco- rated with holly leaves and berries, and fill it with an assortment of candy. Place each kind in a layer by itself, with a piece of white card- board or waxed paper between the layers and a piece of tissue paper or waxed paper on top. Place the cover on and tie with narrow holly ribbon, with a tiny sprig of holly caught in the bow. — Mrs. Grace Howard, 750 Kelly street.
Coloring for Candies.
When making candy coloring mat- ter is desired to lend a pleasing vari- ety. Perfectly harmless yellow, green and pink may be used. Saffron will
give the yellow tint; spinach and beet leaves crushed and boiled in a little water will give green and the juice of strawberries, raspberries and blackberries will give varying shades of pink in summer, while that of cranberries may be used in winter. — Mrs. Grace Howard, 750 Kelly street.
Chocolate Dainties.
Mix thoroughly y2 cup of pecan nuts, y2 cup of walnuts, 2-3 cup figs cut in pieces, and 1-3 cup stoned dates. Chop or grind all together. Add 1 tablespoonful of orange juice, a small bit of grated orange peel and 1 square of melted unsweetened choc- olate.
Toss on a board sprinkled with grated nuts or cocoanut, and roll or cut in any shape desired. Wrap each piece in waxed paper. — Mrs. Grace Howard, 750 Kelly street.
