LADY CLARA VERE DE VERE.—The address of the secretary of the Princess Louise Home is 54, New Broad-street, E.C. Write to the secretary. Young ladies should have their names on their mother’s card. E. AUSTILL.—The first two chapters of “A Lady’s Journey to Texas” will be found in vol. iv., pages 362 and 713. PHISIEGIG.—The real name of “George Sand” was Aurore Lucille Amantine Dudevant. Henry M. Stanley, the African explorer, was born at Denbigh, Wales, in 1840. C. H. S.—The answer to the riddle, “Man cannot live without my first,” is _Ignis fatuus_, otherwise called “will o’ the wisp,” or “corpse candle.” VIOLET.—The lines do much credit to your tenderness of heart and love for your parents, but as poetry they are not worth much, and are full of faults. CONSUMPTION.—We regret that we cannot give you any information, as we do not know the medicine by name, and we could not advise anyone to use it without the consent of a doctor. We should think a change of climate would be advisable. Cold, dry climates are apparently more recommended now than warm ones. DIE LORELEI.—The lines you send have some power about them, but they are not correct in rhythm nor in construction. Count the feet and position of the beats in each line carefully while composing. MARION MOSS.—Seals are found in the Arctic seas. Dundee and Hull are the principal British ports whence the seal-fishers sail. They are also found in Russian America, now called Alaska. PERPLEXED ONE.—Why not try to obtain a good situation as nurse—head nurse, with a junior under you? MAGGIE might obtain the first volume by means of an advertisement in the _Exchange and Mart_. WATER LILY.—Mr. Herbert John Gladstone, M.P., is the youngest son of the Prime Minister, and was born 1854. SEVEN YEARS FOR RACHEL must get her sister to read aloud, alone, and with someone slowly and carefully, being particularly careful to take her breath regularly, easily, and deeply when reading or speaking. The lungs must be well filled. A CHRISTIAN.—We agree with your mother that you are both very young, and had better wait till you be older. Then we should repeat to you the saying of Christ, “Have salt in yourselves,” which means that you must form your opinions and actions on eternal principles, which are the salt which should savour our lives. TILDA.—We quite agree with you that the manners of lady district visitors should be very courteous, and that they should certainly knock at people’s doors, and not go in until they be asked, nor should they go at the dinner hour. Alas! good breeding and sound common-sense seem both rare qualities everywhere. Either of them would have made your visitors behave differently. GIPSY.—You should say, “Lady So-and-so,” and write it with a capital “L.”
