LESSON 74. 
Problem.—To make fondant. Duplicate as far as possible candies 
seen in the stores. Caramels, taffy, and divinity should be prepared 
this lesson. If it seems desirable and there is time, an extra outside 
lesson might be given on candy. In this all the girls would be 
interested. The candy might be sold or, in keeping with the holiday 
spirit, might be given to the poor in the neighborhood, or the students 
might furnish their own materials and take home with them the 
candy so prepared. 
References.—¥Food text. A good recipe book.
