C HR15TMAS CANDIES
ADD FESTIVE NOTE
NoCiing adds more to the festive
spirit of Christmas than a wide assortment
of home-made candies,

recipe.
Miss Current declared that one of j
the most common mistakes made is j
that of beating candies as they are j
removed from the fire. This makes (

"Oh. dear," sighed Lois, "doesn't
Christmas always remind you of
poinsettias?"
"Sure does." replied her sister, j
wistfully. "Ko-.v could we ever for- j

used to send us out in the sleigh to |
