Public Taste Changes In Sweetmeats as In Other Things--Ideas That Have Been Imported from Switzerland; Mexico and France. "Believe mo or not, just as you said well known candy dealer of Washington'to a reporter of the Wash ingtou Post, "but wlicu I tell you that, candy men have to Invent new fash-, ions, seek out novelties and be the first to take advantage of a ftid- to the same as tho dealers in garments, fur-1 clture, flowers, furs and the like, I speak the truth.

People indulge iii fails for candy as much as they do for any other thhijc, ft ml a dealer who continues to handle the old varieties year in and year out will soon find his store deserted by people who demand a and who will seek tlie places novelties are kept in stock. "Washington people are particularly iu this matter, and the dealers are obliged to keep up their stocks in a way that would be a credit to London or Paris. During the present winter, for example, we lune had all the vray from teu to a doy.cn novelties in the candy line, the most noteworthy being the Mexican These flrc little cakeb made of pecan kernels nud the coarsest, blackest Mexican raw sugar. They are sold in all the Mexican cities and towns and are an old standby in New Orleans, Galveston, Mobile and other southern points. They lUc, however, a brand new hi tig in Washington.

We first hcutd of them through southern and In tho past two mouths we have sold nearly 10,000. "At Cist we made them according to recipe out of pecan kernelb rind raw Mexican sugar, which la little pyramids wrapped In cornhusks, but the sugar proved too strong for Uu- "Washington paiate, and we have since been obliged to make them of equal ports of maple and Mexican sugu 1 "Another of this winter's novelties comet, to us from Switzerland and is known ns Geneva ere.un. make a paste of: sugar and mill: or cream, Into which stir the kernels of Eng- ilsb walnuts, and when the mass hardens it is simply delicious. From Paris we have also received the new contec- tlon known as Parid nut calces. These are m.icle with pecan kernels mixed with white sugar cream and coated over wlxh a heavy layer of chocolate, which Is topped off with a sprinkling of crystallized rose leaves, making a very rich and tasty sweetmeat.

"Some years ago when Americans lenrned the luxury of salted almonds nuil peanuts many Imngitied that wo, h.ul about reached the limit of luxury in the matter oi confectionery, but the Spaniards have taught us another trick in the meat of almouds, which is appearing this winter for tho first tune. These are 'deviled aim- Mid nil who have tasted them ni't- jigived that they aie superior to UK- salted or sugared kind. 4 The manner of Ucr.tment is as follows: The almond kernels aie first slightly roasted, enough so as to bring i he true almond flavor, and then, they are bUH hot, they are sprinkled over with a peculiar variety of Spanish pepper and a little suit. They are all the rage at present, and ns an a dinner feature are taking the of salted altnondb and peanuts, "A not her innovation it the candy These we make of any size, shape or cojfir from the enormous uf- fair resembling one of the pads of a Victoria it'gia water lily to the little ice cream and sherbet bowls. They -are miulu of sugar and treated in euch mariner that they do not become sticky or misshapen.

They will retain their hhape and usefulness for mouths, and when one Is tired of them they can "be eaten like other candy. They have had quite a run for children's parties, the youngsters fancy the idea -of eating ico cream and then devouring plate, caramels, so called on of their resemblance to veined onyx or marble, are made of a combination of chocolate caramel and marsh- mallew. Marshmnllows in bnttoiscotch are also rulUer new "While we talking of coufec'Ions I wish, for the benefit of those who do not that you would explain what augclique Is. It is nue of the glace fruits for which the French are famous and comes in long green sticks. "This augelique Is nothing more than our old familiar rhubarb, or pieplant, treated in the same manner as glace figs pears and cherries.

Some of the old candies are returning from a prolonged oblivion. The old jujube paste of boyhood is once more on the market and in great demand, while drops arc also returning will soon be as popular, as tho first." ttnftles HlmiteU For Wife. Edward 3.
