When sugary, take from the fire, and stir until almost hard; then roll in little balls, and put on a buttered plate.

Melt the chocolate in two tablespoonfuls of water with a cup of sugar, and boil five minutes.
When just warm, dip in the little balls till well coated, and lay on plates to dry.

Very nice.
* * * * * SICK-ROOM COOKERY.
GENERAL HINTS.
As recovery from any illness depends in large part upon proper food, and as the appetite of the sick is always capricious and often requires tempting, the greatest pains should be taken in the preparation of their meals.

If only dry toast and tea, let each be perfect, remembering instructions for making each, and serving on the freshest of napkins and in dainty china.

A _tete-a-tete_ service is very nice for use in a sick-room; and in any case a very small teapot can be had, that the tea may always be made fresh.
