SYBIL.—We do not know whether there be any value for the silver foil; but we heard of a lady who had made use of it by having it melted into a jug. Many people collect it, and when a large enough ball is obtained, use it for holding a door open. MURIEL.—The word in English that begins with “A” and ends with “V.” There is no word “in English” in which the “v” is not followed by an “e.” The name of the sea called “of Azov” is not English. Probably she has made this mistake. Your writing is fairly good and legible, but not pretty. A READER OF THE “G.O.P.”—The first thing in beginning a Servants’ Registry is to get an office and furnish it, and the next is to make a connection, if you have not made one before beginning. The best way to gain experience is to get a situation in a registry office as an assistant, and learn the routine of the office work—how to receive and manage the applicants, both servants and employers, and the amount of fees to be charged. Your writing is not very good, and your letter is of the vaguest. If you have a small shop already, you would find it easier to begin a registry. LOUISE.—There is an excellent Training School in Liverpool, Royal Institution, Colquitt Street, Hon. Sec. Miss Fanny L. Calder, 49, Canning Street, where all domestic branches—including sewing, dressmaking, millinery, dairy and laundry work, and cooking—may be learnt. This is near you. There is also an excellent one in Edinburgh, 3, Athole Crescent, Hon. Sec. Miss Guthrie Wright. Boarders are received. You can write for prospectuses to both, as either would answer your purpose. The Leaton Colonial Training Home is at Wrockwardine, Wellington, Salop. Here girls are trained for all practical work, and the terms are moderate. L. M. O.—We regret to state that neither of the books possesses any commercial value. A good bookseller would purchase them only if they happen to be in a very fine contemporary binding. OUR PUZZLE POEMS.
