Fig. 588.—Cut the candle like these.
about half an inch thick (A, [Fig. 588]) and hollow out the under side enough to allow the candle to fit over the lump in the bottom of the apple skin (B, [Fig. 588]). Fit the candle in place, and when it is lit you will have the prettiest, daintiest little fairy lamp imaginable. The light shining through the rosy, semi-transparent apple skin gives the effect of Bohemian glass and casts a red glow all around it.
The fairy lamp looks very pretty floating in water in a glass bowl, and a number of lamps around your birthday cake will be a new way of telling how old you are.
