It is tho story of a dream which came true. “You see, my twin sister and I started out together when we were very young, as chocolate-dippers,"’ Mre. Hanna says. ‘‘A day in a@ fac- tory is a long, long timo, and if you didn't have something to dream about, it would be very dreary. So we used to build air castics about a business all out own. At first, we were going to be foreladies in a factory and tell all ; ¢ Sirls what they must do, ‘Then iter, we became moré ambitious and we planned that some day we were going to own a whole big factory and even tell foreladies what they must do. But us we stayed longer in,the busi- hess and worked in various de! ments we learned all of the candy makers’ secrets, and it was then that we began to dream ubout having school where we could teach other iris and women g0 they could mako Ndjes and reap some of tho profit it we found for the candymaker.’ Mrs. Hanna's twin sister, Mrs. Kila M. Brown, has also realized her dream and now conducts a candy college in Boston, similar to@né Brooklyn col- lege. “It fs a very fascinating study,” Mrs. Manna said. “It is 60 simple that almost any oné can master the art, but sugar is temperamental, and in order to be successful, one must iave formula as ‘curate as a druggist’s prescription. That was where the sisters found nen they began own business. The formulas which they had learned were factory ize and had to be reduced to sifiall quantities which women could handle in their own kitchens, And aside from reducing the quantiti they wished te work out flavoring and coloring mpounds which would be entirely eir own, With the aid of a chemist and with many nights spent in their own kitchen mixing and tasting—‘‘we both grew positively fat from tast- ing,”’ Mrs. Hanns says=they finally worked out satisfactory formulas. stool in the cheery “white laboratory kitchen where the students are turning out | batéhes of candy, one can easily be- lieve that the process, as the in- eter says, is ‘‘the simplest thing the world—once you know the secret.” The secret is the ther- mometer, once you have learned the Proper proportions, and some of the pupils whé had never made candy before smiled at thetease with which they dipped dainty pink and green bon-bons or spooned out nut-kisses ‘that had all the earmarks of the pro- fessional products.
