place to harden. When set mark into 
squares. 
For chocolate fudge mix finely shaved 
or grated chocolate (unsweetened) er 
cocoa with the sugar and proceed as 
above. Nuts or raisin may be added when 
beating the mixture. Peanut butter may 
be used also, and makes a rich candy. 
Place marshmallows in the buttered pan 
and pour either the plain or chocolate 
fudge over them, and one has marshmal¬ 
low fudge that will melt in the mouth. 
The addition of shredded cocoanut is liked 
by some. A layer of one kind may be put 
in pan and when cool another kind poured 
on top and both cut together. 
Fruit Glace.—Fee cherries, grapes, nut 
meats, sections of orange and pieces of 
pineapple for this. Boil two cups granu¬ 
lated sugar and one-half cup hot water 
slowly for 20 minutes without stirring. 
Then dip the point of a spoon into the 
syrup and into cold water; if a brittle 
thread is formed, the syrup is done. Place 
the pan of syrup in hot water and dip 
each piece of fruit separately, then drop 
it on a cold dish. Use a long hatpin and 
do the dipping carefully so as not to stir 
up the syrup. . 
Chocolate Caramels.—Two cups light 
brown sugar, two cups molasses flavored 
with vanilla, one-fourth cake of chocolate, 
one cup milk and one teaspoon butter. 
Boil all together till it gets hard in cold 
water, pour into buttered pans and score. 
All candies except fudge should be 
made in clear weather for good results.

Autumn and Winter With a 
Country Invalid 
Two Autumn Pictures. —Autumn in 
the country is one picture; Autumn with 
a country invalid is another. Anyone 
who is able to walk or even ride about, 
and feast upon the beauties which Nature 
so lavishly displays for everybody’s enjoy¬ 
ment, has a blessing which should be 
prized highly. Being now an unfortunate 
“shut-in,” I sometimes have an intense 
longing to roam through field and wood¬ 
land which, in childhood, were constant 
sources of delight to me. However, I 
must content myself with Autumn’s beau¬ 
ties Which are visible from a window or 
a door, or with what is brought indoors 
to me. This Fall I have been enjoying 
vases of oak, maple and green osier 
leaves. The oak and green osier are beau¬ 
tiful indeed, with the glolssy, dark-red 
leaves, some showing a tinge of bronze. 
These two kinds keep longer and better 
than maple leaves, I have learned. 
Compensation for Deprivation.— 
Despite the deprivation, life has its com¬ 
pensations. I have time to think and to 
enjoy the limited pleasures within my 
reach, which is more than the rushing, 
pleasure-crazed humans of today can do. 
I have learned that there are still many 
kind and thoughtful people who enjoy 
bringing cheer into desolate lives. Speak¬ 
ing of cheer, never a week passes that 
does not bring a caller, a message from a 
distant friend, or a gift to help brighten 
the way. I try to make the giver feel my 
happiness and appreciation, because you, 
know it is much more enjoyable to the 
giver if we are not a stingy receivei. 
In the story, “The .Stingy Receiver, by 
Eleanor H. Abbott, the rich lady became 
bitter because those to whom she gave 
lovely gifts never let her share then- 
pleasure in them. Not only the givers, 
but a wide circle of friends, are co- 
sharers” with me, and often beneficiaries. 
A "Wonderful Autumn. —A wonder¬ 
ful Autumn the past has been! I have 
felt more closely in contact with the out¬ 
side world than ever before. Friends 
who spent the Summer in Europe re¬ 
turned with many views of places visited. 
Hearing verbal descriptions of the scenes 
as I looked them over made them seem 
very realistic. With, the aid of the^ ladio 
I am imagining I am once more in au¬ 
ditorium or other place of learning or 
amusement, feasting mind and soul upon 
that of which invalidism had so long de¬ 
prived me. The radio was installed by 
thoughtful friends who hoped it would 
give me “a little pleasure.” Parcel post 
and the rural delivery are a constant 
boon to a country shut-in. By this means 
I received a box of several varieties of 
bulbs for pot-culture, from a friend five 
States distant. Such a distance seems 
very short nowadays and the thoughtful 
friend is going to seem very near when I 
am in the midst of my “flowery” Winter. 
Thoughts of Christmas. —Christmas 
will be here before we realize it. Recent¬ 
ly I saw some pillow slips which would be 
easily made and so pretty for Christmas 
gifts. They were of unbleached muslin, 
with hems turned over onto the outside 
instead of the inside of the slip; then 
pink rickraek braid was slipped half its 
width under the edge of the hem and 
stitched with the hem. They are so 
dainty that I said at once: “How pretty 
a bedroom would look with curtains, 
dresser scarf and everything matching.” 
Gifts for the Invalid.— A few gifts 
an invalid can use are a clipping book, 
snap-shut album, address book, flash¬ 
light, box of greeting cards to. use,, a 
Christmas decoration for the invalid’s 
room. This last item reminds me that 
last year I received a wreath made of 
laurel and bittersweet berries. It resem¬ 
bled a holly wreath and kept nicely all 
Winter, in a cool room. One family I 
know make many of these wreaths to dec¬ 
orate their own house. G. R. B.
