I went up to the nursery rather thoughtfully after that. I knew girls were odd and contrary sometimes. Mr. Rossiter was very nice; he was a good, earnest young man, and I liked his sermons; but was it possible that Gay could seriously prefer him to Mr. Hawtry, or was she just flirting with him _pour passer le temps_, after that odious custom of some girls? But I could not believe it somehow of Gay Cheriton; she was so simple, so unselfish, so free from vanity. It needed a coarser nature than hers to play this sort of unfeeling game. “We shall see,” I said to myself, as I put Reggie into his cot, and then I sat down and wrote to Mrs. Morton. (_To be continued._) ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. EDUCATIONAL. DAUGHTER OF GENTLEMAN FARMER.—The book for which you inquire is “The Englishwoman’s Year-Book,” published by Hatchard, Piccadilly, London, W. We believe it may be had in parts. The yearly volume is about half-a-crown. JOSIE.—We advise you to write to the London School of Medicine, 30, Henrietta-street, Brunswick-square, London, W.C., for all information you require on the subject of your letter. You should state the fact of your having passed the College of Preceptors, the senior local Cambridge and Oxford examinations, and the science subjects (elementary) set by the South Kensington authorities; also name your age, and address the dean of the school, Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett-Anderson, M.D. This school is in connection with the Royal Free Hospital, Gray’s Inn-road, W.C. SPOTTED CRASH.—We think you are mistaken as to the origin of the name Billingsgate. The name “Billing” belongs to an old Teutonic tribe or clan, whose traditions are old enough to be mythical. It is probable that some of its members may have been amongst those Low German adventurers who conquered Britain and made it England. This conjecture explains many names beginning with Billing in this country, besides Billingsgate. HEATHER BELL.—We regret that we cannot help you in your quest in any way. CINDERELLA.—It would depend upon what examination you went in for, of course. Girton College is at Cambridge. It is for women over eighteen years of age. The entrance examinations are in March and June. The address of the secretary is 22, Gloucester-place, Hyde Park, London, W. MIZPAH.—We should advise you, as you are so young, to go in for teaching as a profession, and to study at a training college, or at the College of the Home and Colonial School Society, Gray’s Inn-road, W.C., or else at the Teachers’ Training Society, Training College, Fitzroy-street, W. Governesses’ situations are yearly more and more difficult to obtain, and it is better to be trained so as to command school situations of a high class.
