Boil together the sugar, water, and syrup until it
spins a thread. While cooking, beat the egg whites
until stiff.
Pour 1/2 of the syrup mixture in a fine stream
over the beaten egg whites, beating constantly.
Put the vanilla in the egg whites. Return the syrup
to the heat, and boil to a hard crack test. Pour
the remaining syrup over the egg white mixture,
and beat until stiff. Add the pecans and fold them
in. Pour the warm divinity quickly on to a buttered
platter. Let cool, and cut into serving sized pieces.
