Even in this practical age It is doubtful if the steady glow of an electric light will ever entirely replace the gentle flickering of a tall taper for those special festive occasions such as Christmas. And the home-made candle's popularity is on the rise again, as witnessed by the attractive display prepared by the Candle Making Institute at Casa Loma's Fairyland. To make candles at home all one needs is para- ffin, wicks, moulds, a book of directions , a stove and a bit of ingenuity. Moulds can be almost anything from milk cartons and refrigerator con- tainers to tin cans and pottery. But there was a time when candle-making was the art of a few, and candles were the sole source of household light. ' Candles, made of tallow came into their own in the 16th cen- tury. Beeswax tapers were used exclusively by churches. In early manuscripts there are references to monasteries sav- ing kitchen fat for making every-day candles. The tallow would be melted, and strained. Then flax or cotton fibres would be repeatedly dipped until coated thickly enough for use. Later, candle making guilds sprang up in both Europe and Britain. The English chandler guilds kept an eye on their members to ensure certain standards, and adulteration of wax was a punishable offence. Plebian tallow candles re- mained popular in England un- for -LI2e 0,4-4 • iohday g til the late 19th century, How- ever, colonial Americans dis. covered that the waxy fruit of the bayberry bush found grow- ing along the Atlantic coast, produced a practical as well as a sweet smelling candle. The first major variation from tallow came with the whaling industry. Spermaceti, a crystalline substance from the head of the sperm whale, was found to make a candle that would double the light radiated by tallow. Then in 1850, paraffin, a by-product of petroleum was discovered. Paraffin, a mix- ture of solid hydro-carbons, is the basis of all commercial candle making today, stearic acid is added to paraffin to in- crease rigidity and decrease brittleness. And to ensure com- plete combustion, modern candle wicks are chemically treated. But the fun of candles is not in the buying, -- it's in the creation. One word of warning when your work of art is weav- ing its warm, mellow spell over the Christmas table, have Dad carve the turkey in the kitchen before he yells for more light on the subject. -- Ontario Hydro News. -- Mr. and Mrs. Harry Brydges and family and Mrs. Wm.

Those with small children will have dozens of things to do before Christmas—shopping, wrapping gifts, decorating, get- ting the youngsters all gussied up for concerts and special events. Others will be entertaining friends, holding parties for teenagers, preparing for members of the family who will be home for the holidays. Mothers enjoy doing things to make others happy, but it is pretty tiring, too.

She will hardly suggest it herself, but it may well be her secret wish. The Blue Barn will serve Christmas dinners during the entire holiday Season.
