I DO not think candied rose leaves
would be good: though the petals
are excellent, as are mint-leaves. Vio
lets may be similarly treated, and lilac
blossoms are sometimes surrcs.-f ul.
Have ready fresh, newly opened pet
als, quickly washed, and thoroughly
dry. Boll a syrup of sugar and water
to the "crack" stage. Then set the pan
In hot water, dip the flowers, leaves,
or petals. one at a time Into the syrup,
and place on a fine sieve, dusted with
confectioner's su?ar. When crisp and
dry. roll In confectioner's sugar, and
store In a dry place. Small tongs
sugar tongs, or those that come in
candy boxes, should be used for dip
ping. The leaves, or petals, may need
to be spread out a little, so that they
may dry In a natural shape. Some of
the pale roses will probably need a
little artificial red coloring. added to
the syrup. That which comes In gela
tine packages may be dissolved and
used for this purpose: or one of the
harmless "Trult coloring pastes" may
be used. A little apse flavoring may be
needed if the less fragrant varieties
of roses are used.
A method which Is rather more
troublesome, but which sometimes gives
better results Is to dip the leaves or
petals Into a solution of gum arable,
and let them dry. before crystallizing.

and cover with chocolate thesa little cakes
which 1 am aendlng you. Manr thanks for
your kindness. MRS. A. J.
The little cake, -like Patsy's orange
was "some squeeze' when It reached
me; so I shall have to make a guess
as to Its original character. I think,
however, that It was a kind of small
cake made In large quantities by spe
cial machinery and while comparative
ly Inexpensive to buy. ready-made,
would be rather troublesome, . and by
no means cheaper, to make at home.
For the foundation use any good, rich
'cookie mixture, such as . "cream
cookies." One ' two, three, four
cookies," or even Scotch shortbread,
recipes for all of which have appeared
repeatedly In this column. Cut in neat
oblong pieces, and be careful not to
overbake them. When cool, cover with
marshmallow frosting, or the marsh
mallow mixture, given recently In
these columns, piling .It high, and
neatly. The marshmallow frosting or
paste should be pretty cool and firm,
or It cannot be put on so as to stand
up. and not soak into the cookie foun
dation. Let it become thoroughly
firm and slightly dry on the outside
before proceeding to dip the cakes.
For tills use the best sweet "dip
ping" chocolate, exactly as for choco
late bonbons. The flavor may have
to be modified slightly; but be care
ful not to put In too much vanlla.
A small quantity of cocoa-butter may
also be needed, but It Is Impossible
to say how much." since all depends

The child should be g!en charge o
the dog's food, and told when and what
to feed him. It should rest with the
chlVl to teach the dog never to enter
the dlnlnz-room. never to take looa
from strangers and never to steal food
all lessons which a small boy or girl
can easily teach even a mischlevou
nunnv. But In this matter, as In
others pertaining to the care of anl
mala, keen a slight supervision ove
the child. If It Is explained to him
that the dog suffers as keenly as does
the child when a meal Is forgotten
and that the dog suffers even more
keenlv than the child for want of wa
ter. he will be less forgetful of these
duties.
One mother took an almost too prac
tlcal wav of driving this lesson home

to feed Fldo. Tommy had only bread
and milk for dinner. Even If this
method does seem a little severe on
Tommv. It must be admitted that
was effective In Jogging the little boy's
memorV.
Dogs are sometimes Jealous of small
babies, but the baby can generally
make friends with the dog long before
he can talk. After the dog becomes
acaualnted with the new arrival h
often takes the greatest pride and
nTeasure in acting as the baby's spe

irr frle-ht and terror in later lire
few persona who have hail a dog com
panlon In babyhood have that unneces

less dogs which Is really painful to
those who feel it.
One word more about dogs. After
all. they are of secondary Importance,
If. after, kindness on the part of the
child, a dog seems unmenaiy. sus
plclous or ln-sny way disagreeable. It
la best to get rid of htm. Dogs, like
people, have Individuality, and some
times it Is Impossible for certain chll
dren to make friends with certain dogs.
Tabby has her worthy place among
the household pets. lou cannot ex
pect the same loyalty from cata that
you get from dogs. Nevertheless, they
are amusing and comfortable compan
ions, and they have as good a claim
upon the child for kindness. Perhaps,
however, they are better able to take
care of themselves than dogs. . A dog
will let the children he loves maul
htm and pull him without complaint
but most cats and kittens scratch when
life becomes too uncomfortable for
them.
Pome children who are themselves
fond of cats, and who never tease
them, take pleasure In setting dogs on
them. But a little explanation of the
cruelty of this practice, of the fright
and helplessness of the cat and the
brutalizing of the dog which it causes,
ought to be enough to make It dis
tasteful to most children.
Dogs and cats are both, to a certain
extent. Independent of the care of their
human companions, for both of them
can run about In search of food. The
hungry dog can go to the neighbor's
dooryard. and the hungry cat can climb
a tree and rob a nest for dinner. But it
Is such pets" as birds, goldfishes, turtles.
raDDits.and other small animals wnicn
are confined to their owners' pleasure
that suffer from neglect.
One family of children I know of are
said to be very fond of animals. Their
mother tells of the time little William
risked his life climbing a tree to cap
ture a baby robin to put in a cage, of
the time Tommy pulled a frog out of.
some coo), woody pool and took It to
bed with him, and of the dear little
dead crickets she found In the soap
dish one morning where antmal-Iovlng
Susie had put them for safekeeping.
These children have an absolutely
wrong . conception of animal loving.
They love simply the posesslon, of the
animals, and forget all about their
care. Within a year they have had
four canaries, which have all met-untimely
ends. Unfortunately, says their
mother, one starved, . the cat got
another, probably because she had had
no dinner, and as for the other two
one died of a cold and the other fell a
prey to mice. Their goldfish smothered
because the water went unchanged for
over a week In the Summer. The rab
bits, which the children kept In the
barn, starved, although the children
when they did feed them, carried them
literally armfuls of carrots and cabbage
and other food dear to rabbits. But
then, explains their mother, rabbits are
so cheap that It Is easier to buy a new
supply of rabbits than to trouble the
dear little children about them
Yet these children are Just the sort of
children who would weep over the suf
ferlngs of Black Beauty, and who would
become sympathetic over the stories of
elk and deer driven by famine and bliz
zard to wander tar rrom tneir naunts in
search of food and shelter. With these
children cruelty Is simply lack of train
ing.
Their case Is simply typical of the
whole question of the child s treatment
of animals. The matter should be put
upon a practical, not a sentimental.
basis. Don't let the children weep over
the woes of Imaginary anlmala and
while they are weeping, aurreptitlously
pinch Tabby's ears. I-et them under
stand that the everyday animals they
see all the time are the same sort of
animals they read about, with the same
feelings and the same capability of suf
fering and happiness.
The child that Is thoughtful of ani
mals, that understands them and deals
with them fairly, has learned one of
life's hardest lessons, lie understands,
sometimes without knowing It, the
whole philosophy of life; the responsi
bility of those who are powerless . to
care for themselves, the value of friend
ship, fidelity and love.
ritUDRNCE STANDISH.
cool enough to coat evenly but rather
thinly, and not to run off. This is a
matter of care and practice. Since
the caices are much larger than the
bonbons you wllL need a comparative
ly large quantity of chocolate and you
will not be able to use It all up In
dipping , the cakes. It Is, therefore,
economical to dip some smaller can
dles when the cakes are finished. The
chocolate clinging to the. pan, which
cannot be used in dipping, should be
dissolved In water or milk and used
to flavor, an icing or blanc-mange, or
pudding.
The. cakes should be dipped in a
cool room, and dropped on stiff para
fine paper or well-waxed wrapping
paper, and should be chilled at once.
A small pair of candy tongs Is use
ful for dipping, but a. fork will do. If

with a few bonbons before dipping
