MISS A. NICHOLLS, Laburnum Villa, Leamington, MISS L. JONES, c/o Morris
Hughes, Castle Street, Llangollen, N. Wales, MADEMOISELLE DÉSIRÉE
TUFFLI, Châlet à Monruz, Neuchâtel, Switzerland, and MISS MARGUERITE
FITZROY DIXON, 19, IX Florence Street, Ottawa, wish to correspond
with Miss Anice Cress, Mysore, S. India, and inquire if that address
is sufficient. Miss Dixon would also like to write to Miss Marguerite
Rahier.
MADEMOISELLE VILMA TUFFLI, Châlet à Monruz, Neuchâtel, Switzerland,
would like to exchange illustrated post-cards with anyone who collects
them.
MISS MARY KLEYNTJENS, Maastricht, Holland, wishes to exchange view
post-cards with O MIMOSA SAN.
EDELWEISS AT INNSBRUCK would like to correspond with a French girl of
about her own age (19). She knows French pretty well, but has not much
opportunity of writing French letters.
MISS RUBY TIZAREL, Trosse House School, Neumark, Germany, will be glad
to write in French, German, or English, and receive answers in either
language from a young lady of about her own age (17).
MISS NELLY POLLAK, a German girl, wishes to correspond with an English
girl, aged about sixteen, living in England, or any British colony. Her
address is Vienna, I., Reichsrathstrasse 3.
“CINTRA,” aged sixteen, would like a French correspondent.
MISS WYNNIE L. MOORE JONES, Ladies’ College, Portland Road, Remuera,
Auckland, N.Z., and MISS L. SALMON, c/o E. L. Thornton, Esq., Fonte
da Moura, Oporto, Portugal, would like to exchange New Zealand and
Portuguese stamps for others.
VIOLET M. and FLORENCE VIOLET (not Voilet) FOSTER.—In view of the
increasing applications for foreign correspondents, we cannot undertake
to insert requests from English girls for English correspondents,
unless some special reason is given for their employing the medium of a
magazine. F. V. Foster must not be offended if we say she should try to
improve her writing and spelling. Violet M.’s letter is a pleasant one,
and if she is lonely through circumstances and unable to find friends,
we will consider her application.
GERALDINE wishes to correspond with a Swiss-French or French lady of
good family and education in French. The latter writing in English will
have all letters returned corrected, and the correspondent will require
her French letters corrected and returned also.
MISCELLANEOUS.
JAPONICA.—We do not see how “Japonica” can require _advice_ on such a
subject. Most girls of eighteen have some knowledge of the rules of
propriety; and if in doubt as to allowing stray young men to kiss her,
ignorance which we do not believe, she can consult any older person—her
mother, or one of her brothers—as to how far it is permissible. We
often think that such letters as “Japonica’s” are written by foolish
and vain girls to show off, not to obtain advice. There could be no
other motive in writing to us on the subject.
