I feel that I still have many things to speak about, and yet that it
would not be advisable to arrange for meeting at stated periods for
the present. Yet I look forward to our keeping in regular touch with
each other; for our dear friend the Editor has suggested a “Twilight
Circle Correspondence Column” for us. In it I hope to answer some of
the letters already received, and others which you may address to me
in the future about our Twilight Talks. It has always been to me a
source of great regret that many of your letters have perforce remained
unanswered so long. I also hope to bring some of you, dear ones, into
touch with each other during the coming year by means of these letters.
I pray that God will add His blessing to what has been said, and that
you may all be better daughters, sisters, friends, wives, and, in due
time, mothers through our many happy meetings “In the Twilight Side by
Side.”

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
IT is not safe to use common cheap enamelled saucepans after they have
been chipped inside. The glaze that is used is often poisonous, and
the material comes off in such small pieces, that if absorbed with the
food they may act as a serious irritant to the intestines and set up
inflammation.
A BOOK should be kept for cuttings of interest from newspapers and
journals. These form very interesting reading.
AN accomplishment which everyone should cultivate is that of writing
clearly, especially one’s signature. It causes a great deal of trouble
and even serious mistakes to write illegibly. While staying with a
friend on a visit, a letter was handed round the table for us each to
try and decipher, and all that could be read of it was the concluding
sentence, “_Please reply by return of post._” The signature and address
were totally illegible.
SOUFFLÉ AU CHOCOLAT.—Take three eggs and beat the yolks and whites
separately. Add to the yolk a tablespoonful of pounded sugar and about
two ounces of chocolate. Stir all these ingredients well together,
adding a teaspoonful of flour. Whisk the whites of the eggs until they
form a stiff paste, and then mix lightly with the other substances.
Butter a tin and bake in a moderate oven for a quarter of an hour.
Serve up immediately in the tin.

AYONT THAE HILLS.
Glendevon banks are bonny,
Glendevon braes are braw;
But burn an’ tree are nocht to me—
My heart is far awa’.
Ayont thae hills, thae bonny hills,
Thae blue, blue hills o’ Blair,
It’s there bides he wha’s a’ to me,
An’ oh! my heart is there!
The lark may sing his blithest,
The throstle fill the breeze,
But ilka strain is poured in vain—
Nae heart hae I for these.
For ower thae hills, thae bonny hills,
Thae blue, blue hills o’ Blair,
It’s there bides he wha’s a’ to me,
An’ oh! my heart is there!
