We have an interesting letter from an Australian girl, who asks that
a French young lady will kindly write direct to her. She has never
been out of Australia, and says, “Letters from a French lady would be
helpful to me in two ways; they would allow me to know something of
home-life in France, and also help me to improve my knowledge of the
language of that far-away land.” The address is, Miss F. Evelyn Smith,
Medindie, Adelaide, South Australia.
We have a letter for “MISS INQUISITIVE” from RUBY PARSONS, “Beemery,”
Seymour Road, Elsternwick, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. If “MISS
INQUISITIVE” will send us her address, we will for once infringe our
rule and forward the letter to her.

aged from eighteen to twenty-six, each to write once a month, and to
correct and send back the other’s letters. Will some French lady of
good family volunteer her name and address?
MISS E. G. COLE, 113, Vyse Street, Birmingham, seventeen years of age,

A CONSTANT READER, LILIAN C. BROWN wishes to correspond with a French

MRS. JOSEPH SMITH, Box 4, Aberfoyle, Ontario, Canada, wishes for a
correspondent on the coast of England, Ireland, or Scotland, with whom

correspondent in India, Ceylon, or Zanzibar.
MISS EVA M. ROPER, Dunmow, Essex, wishes for a French correspondent,

her knowledge of French and German, and also to give some help in
return.
MISS L. ANNING, Charlotte Rains, _via_ Hughenden, N. Queensland,
Australia, would like to correspond with “MISS INQUISITIVE,” or any
“real English girl.” Miss Anning lives on a cattle station, and is
sixteen years old.
GIRLS’ EMPLOYMENTS.
K. A. (_Music Teacher_).—We cannot recommend any girl to come over
to this country and seek employment as a teacher of music only. The
competition in the musical world is so severe that only the best
teachers succeed in any degree at all, and those who are not quite
remarkably good are obliged merely to teach music as one among many
subjects.
