IRISH MAY FLOWER.--It is rather difficult to dispose of such sketches as you describe. We should suggest that you took them to any picture dealer in your neighbourhood, and asked him to try to sell them for you. Or you might write to the Irish Ladies' Work Society, 47, George Street, Kingstown, inquiring if that would be of any use to you. MABEL ENTWISTLE.--We are very glad that you have been enabled through our means "to make the acquaintance of two extremely nice French girls." Your writing we like very much. It is clear, definite, and has a character of its own. If we gave any hint for its improvement, it would be to avoid the lapses in the middle of a word, making the writing flow consecutively. LA PETITE VIOLETTE.--We have not forgotten you, and are very glad you have taken up some special study. We have placed your request in "Our Open Letter Box." WILD ROSE.--1. Your first quotation is from Tennyson's _In Memoriam_, xxvii., stanza 4. "I hold it true, whate'er befall, I feel it when I sorrow most, 'Tis better to have loved and lost, Than never to have loved at all." 2. Look through the poetry of Thomas Moore for your second extract, and if you cannot find it there, send it again and we will place it in "Our Open Letter Box." CATALINA.--1. Apply to the Church Sunday School Institute, Serjeant's Inn, Fleet Street, E.C., or to the Sunday School Union (undenominational), 57, Ludgate Hill, and you will receive the fullest information. The lessons for each Sunday are set forth in certain inexpensive books in detail, with comments and information upon every verse. In addition to these "lesson helps" you should read and study books upon the Old Testament and upon the life of our Lord, such as Farrar's _Life of Christ_. The Religious Tract Society has published one (_The Life of Jesus Christ the Saviour_, by Mrs. S. Watson), which is not too ambitious, and might help you. The net price is 3s. 9d.--2. Your writing is good for your age, but might be improved if the tails to your "g's," "y's," etc., were less straggling. ERIN-GO-BRAGH.--1. We have inserted your request, but (as you give a pseudonym) not your address.--2. Your handwriting is too upright and irregular, but there is the foundation of a good hand in it. EXILE OF ERIN.--The "Fragment" you enclose is above the average of poems submitted to us, but your metre does not flow quite smoothly enough. You should avoid too many monosyllables in these long lines.
