lIOW TO MAKE TOFFEE. Here are two wa3’S of making toffee. The first is treacle toffee. This is easy to make, and does not cost much. The first thing to do is to get a clean saucepan and put into it two ounces of butter. Melt the butter w over a low gas. Then put in a pound \ of lump sugar and three-quarters of a pound of treacle. Stir carefully all the time, and be sure you do not let the toffee bum. When the sugar has melted and the toffee is done, pour it out into a well-greased tin and allow it to cool. To tell when toffee is done, take a little with a spoon and drop it into a small basin of cold water. If it becomes crisp as it cools, it is done. The other way of making toffee is this: Put about two ounces of butter and a pound cf sugar into a saucepan, and put it on to boil. Then add about two to four eggcupfuls of water. Do not stir much, but do not let it bum. When the toffee is done, pour it into a tin as before. This sort of toffee is hard, and sometimes it goes sugary. To avoid this, add the juice of a lemon. You can also put in chopped nuts, if you like. WALL SCRAPS. These little scraps will look so pretty on your play room wall. They arc ever so easy to put up, and they will not harm the wallpaper at all. All you need to do is to cut out any pretty little picture that takes your fancy, and then warm it well by the fire. When this is done brush the back of it vigorously with a clothes brush. Now you will find that it will cling to the wall firmly. You can do this with lots of little pictures, but, of course, after a time they will come down. Then you must put up some new ones.
