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.
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!

“I should like to go, Aunt Cossart, of course; but I will not accept unless you can really spare me. Now that Effie is away, I know it is dull for you, except in the evenings when Oscar is here.”
Mrs. Cossart held in her hands the note of invitation, which a servant from Monckton Manor had just brought.
“Do you know who these friends are that Miss Lawrence thinks you would like to meet?”
“No,” answered Sheila simply. “They have a good many summer visitors at the Manor, and they are all nice people; but May does not say whether they are any I have seen before.”
“Well, I think you had better go. It is only for three days; and I’ll ask Ray to come and spend the time with me. She had half promised me a visit before this. And Oscar need not go to the office regularly—that was quite understood. Only he is such a boy for his duty that there seems no keeping him back. However, your uncle will soon be home now; and then perhaps we shall settle something different. But write your note to Miss Lawrence, and say you will be there to-morrow. I will drive you across. I want to go and see Mrs. Frost, and so it will all be on the way.”
“Oh, thank you so much, Aunt Cossart, you are very good. I shall like it very much if you are not left alone.”
