JECKO (Constantinople).—We are sorry we do not recognise your
quotation, but we have placed it in “Our Open Letter Box.” In any case,
you could not have received a reply in our next number. The magazine
goes to press long before it reaches the hands of our readers.
I. F. N.—We are willing to ask our readers at your wish if they can
suggest four suitable mottoes for embroidering on a bed-spread. We
should recommend Coleridge’s couplet, divided as you like—
“O sleep! it is a gentle thing
Beloved from pole to pole.”
_Ancient Mariner._
MIGNONETTE.—Many thanks for your kind and appreciative verses—“As Sweet
as Spring”—about THE GIRL’S OWN PAPER.
BALLOCHMYLE.—1. Unless we are mistaken, a full account of “The House of
Education” at Ambleside appeared in this magazine a year or two ago.
Write to the Secretary for details of the training if you would like
to undergo it. Your age would be all right.—2. Chromo-lithography is a
process of reproducing paintings in colours.
SE SAREN ROSE.—The poem “Divided” is by Jean Ingelow, the well-known
poetess who died not long ago. You will find it in the first volume of
her poems, which you should be able to procure from any good library.
You are quite justified in your admiration. The title of the book is,
_Poems: Jean Ingelow_: Longmans, Green, & Co.
OUR OPEN LETTER BOX.
⁂ We are greatly impressed by the kindness and courtesy of our readers
who, for the sake of absolute strangers, copy out and forward to us
long pieces of poetry. It is, however, only right for us to warn
them that it is most uncertain whether these copies ever reach the
persons for whom they are intended. We keep no register of addresses,
and cannot undertake to forward MSS., while, even if we did so, the
numbers of each copy would probably be far in excess of the demand.
If no address, or request for a copy, is given by the inquirer in
this column, it is quite sufficient to answer the question by simply
mentioning the book or magazine where the desired extract can be
found. We say this with full appreciation of the goodwill shown by our
subscribers in the matter.
“WINTON” has answers (in some cases copies) from OLD BOURNEMOUTHIAN,
MISS EDITH WILLIAMSON, C. A. H., R. E. M. JAMES, M. M., G. SHAW,

ELLEN, BERTHA L. WRIGHT, MISS JAMES, D. MORRISH, A. G., ANNIE NICHOLLS,
EDITH H., B. MOUNTIFIELD, MISS HANLY, and DAISY. The hymn is referred
to Sankey’s _Songs and Solos_ (732), the _Christian Endeavour Hymnal_,
the _Union Mission Hymnal_, and the _Hymnal Companion_ (No. 597).
“DOUBTFUL” has answers, and in some cases copies, from M. M. HARRIS,
MRS. E. BÜRCK, SOPHIA, EVELYN CLARE, ANNIE S. HARDY, BERTHA PARKS, MISS
KNEESHAW, referring “The Noble Boy,” _alias_ “Somebody’s Mother,” to
Blackie’s _Fourth Reader_, Chambers’s _Expressive Reader_ (price 9d.),
and Nelson’s _Royal Reader_, No. 2.
