ITTNDOUBTEDLY the making of
tho Christmas candies will amply
srepay for tho time and trouble of
making them. If neatly packed in
an attractive box, their very appear
ance will carry a holiday message.
It is a comparatively easy matter to
make up a large assortment of de
licious pure candies at a fraction
of tho cost they would be when pur
chased. Making fondant need not be a

Mrs. Wilson
My dear Mrs. Wilson I have read
with great interest your very in
structive articles on breads, dainty
nnd cheap desserts and fruit and hot
breads, and I look In font1 anticipa
tion for articles to follow. I am in
hopes that one article on quick
breads, nuch aa biscuits, mufllns, etc ,
will soon appear, as the male mem
bers now clamor for tho same. In
your articles on raised breads, I
notice frequent mention of tempera
ture, so many degrees Fntirenhelt.
Now while I with many others know
nbout this, yet tho majority do not
comprehend. Could you not, for
the benefit of the many who -juld
liko to learn, mora fully explain?
1 am suro your articles will bo a
rreat benefit to us all. I look for
ward with great pleasure to future
articles. -1IRS. A.
Mrs. A. A full and complete series

will follow the raised breads and cakes.
In reference to your question on tem
peraturedegrees of temperature in
lteat and cold give us the result In
preparing food. Now, yeast Is a plant,
S and upon Hb successful growth will
- 'depend tho quality of our bread,
Various degrees of heat are necessary
for Its success. In making bread, tho
baker finds out, by Ions practice, just
as tho florist does with his green
houses, to keep his bakcrooms In a
warm moist heat. Teast thriven and
grows, thus raising tho dough; from
'78 to 85 degrees Fahrenhoit Is about
right; If the room is hotter than this
X tho dough becomes wild. Now, If the
w milk or water that Is used to mix
a, the dough la too cool, It will prevent
Jtho yeast from getting a good start,
and thus delay tho tlmo for the proper
' working of the dough, while If on the
other hand the. liquid Is too hot the
yeast Is scalded and partially de
stroyed, thus making a poor loaf.
If an even, steady beat Is malntaln
v ed 0 light, delicious loaf Is obtained.
You will need no fancy tools or ther
mometers to mako bread. Any ther

CHRISTMAS CANDIES;
That Leftover Turkey
Thero was never a family, It
seems, quite largo enough to get
away with tho entire Christmas
turkey. In fact, In most families
It Is "turkey this" anil "turkey
that" for tho rest of the week. If
you would like to know some deli
cious new wnys to servo that big
"leftover bird," don't fall to look
tot Mrs. Wilson's article on the day
after Christmas. It is called
"Utilizing the Leftover Turkey,"
and it wouldn't bo a bad Idea to
clip It out, not only for tho pres
ent, but for other holiday seasons.

When the fondant becomes too
small for dipping, remove from the
boiler, scraping the sides with a
wooden spoon. Add tho chopped
nuts and raisins to this and then
mold into squares. Press firmly and

90 degrees Fahrenheit 80 degrees
Fahrenheit is the best temperature
for dipping in a warm room.

My dear Mrs. Wilson I have
thought it might mako a new break

Snapper scrapple. This certainly
would make an attractive dish, espe

also please glvp me some recipes for
candy, though not the fondant ones?
(Mrs.) G. O.
Mrs. G. G. Tho acid content of the
sugar and chocolate frequently react
upon tho casein ot the milk. Try this
recipe for fudge:
Three ounces of chocolate, cut fine,
Three cupfuls of sugar.
One cupful of canned milk.
One-quarter teaspoonful 0 lading
soda.
Place sugar and milk In saucepan

WHY SANTA CLAUS LIVES ON f
J2V THE HEARTS OF CHILDREN ' ;
And in the Love of Grown-Vps, Too An Immortal 'Answer, jtrivcj
t6 a Little Girl Who Onco Ashed, "Please
Tell Mc tho Truth"
IS THERE a Santa Claus? An idle
question? No! On this night when
all the little' girls and boys aro tucked
away in their beds, against tho fairy
like break of .Christmas day, that
query Just naturally belongs hero, and
with It belongs Virginia O'Hanlon.
irglnia O'Hanlon was tho little eight-
year-oia gin who asked' that question
one tirao and received an immortal
answer. Small Virginia wroto tho
following letter to the New York Sun:
Dear Editor:)
I am eight years old. Some of my
little friends say there Is no Santa
Claus. Please tell me 'the truth. Is
there a Santa Claus?
Virginia O'Hanlon.
Frank P. Church answered Virginia
through the columns of tho Sun. He
Is dead now, but tho things ho wroto
to a little girl that day on the big
grown-up editorial page can never
die. Year after year at Christmas
tlmo his reply is printed and reprint
ed throughout tho country.

. V friends are wrong. They havo
been affected by the skepticism of a
skeptical age. They do not behove
except they see. They think that
nothing can bo which Is not compre
hensible to their little minds. All
minds, Virginia, whether they be
men's or children's, are little.
"Yes, Virginia, thero Is a Santa
Claus. He exists as certainly aa love
and generosity and devotion exist,
and you know that they abound and
give to your life its highest beauty
and Joy. Alas! How dreary would be
tho world If there were no Santa
Clausl It would bo as dreary as if
there were no Virginias. There
would be no child-like faith then, no
poetry, no romance to make tolerable
this existence. We should have no
enjoyment except in sense and sight.
Tho eternal light with which child
hood fills the world would be extin
guished. "Not believe In Santa Claus? You
might ns woli not believe in fairies.
The most real things in the
world aro those that neither children
nor men can see.
"W"OU may tear apart the baby's'
X rattle and see what makes the
noise inside, but thero is a veil cov
ering tho unseen world which not the
strongest man, nor even tho united
strength of all the strongest men that
ever lived, could ever tear apart. Only
faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance,
can push aside that curtain and view
and plcturo the supernatural beauty
and glory beyond. Is It all real? All,
Virginia, In all this world there is
nothing else real and abiding.
"No Santa Claus! Thank God he
lives, and he lives forever. A thou.
