We are very fond of each other, although we sometimes have a squabble. Some of my friends are very jolly, and they eome to our place and we have prime fan. Can you please tell me what to give silkworms to eat. for mine appear to have no appetite I—With love from Twrx uerald. Wellington. '[ do not know why your silkworms should not eat, tieraid. Feed them on mulberry leaves or ou lettuce. Do not let the leaves be damp. Change every day. Perhaps they are g ring to change their skins. I think ours stopped eating for a little time.—Covsix Kate.' Dear Cotsix Kate —My father brings the Graphic home every Saturday, and I always look forward to reading the cousins’ letters. The girls belonging to the school I attend went for a picnic to Island Hay. lam staying there at present. I have four sisters ami two brothers. <_'ur baby, who is only four months old, is such a dear little thing. Her name is Bessie. We used to have a pigeon. It was a great pet, but about six months ago it was stolen. I must now conclude as it is getting late.—Your loving cousin, Twix Hilda. Wellington. '1 am so glad to make your acquaintance, dear Twins. How strange, though, that the penmanship of you two should be so dissimilar. I hope you will both write again, and have very pleasant holidays together and with your friends. We should like to hear how the different cousins spend their holidays. Bessie must be quite a pet. —Cor-iX Kate.]
