Part 2 — ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Reading edition
STUDY AND STUDIO.
M. S. C.—It was a printer's error; read lithos a stone.
F. L. B. B.—We cannot give you any address, but have seen advertisements in The Bazaar, Exchange and Mart of the class you describe. To write sermons for remuneration for others to preach, is not a very satisfactory sort of occupation; for clergymen are not supposed to buy their sermons ready made, and if they do it, it is "under the rose."
OUR OPEN LETTER BOX.
Can any of our readers kindly inform "Stanmore" who is the author of the following lines:—
"When to the flow'rs so beautiful Our Father gave a name, Back came a little blue-eyed one, All tremblingly it came. 'Dear God, the name thou gavest me, Alas, I have forgot!' Kindly the Father looked Him down, And said, 'Forget-Me-not!'"
INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE.
"Ugly Duckling," Hungary, has two offers of correspondence—from Mildred E. Davis, just nineteen, passionately fond of music and painting, address, 70, Broad Street, Blaenarvon, Monmouthshire, and "Faith," Glasgow, who gives no address, but sends us a letter, which we regret we cannot forward. We must repeat that we undertake no postal communication, direct or indirect, in connection with this column.
Mademoiselle Lucile Feltz, aged twenty, 92, Grande Rue, Chantilly (Oise), France, wishes for an English correspondent of about the same age, of good education, who desires to learn French. Mademoiselle Feltz reads English well, but cannot write it fluently. Each would write in the other's language. Perhaps this offer would suit "Harebell," of about the same age, of good family. She reads French with ease and would like to improve herself by correspondence. Address, Oak Villa, Whiskham, Newcastle-on-Tyne.
Nellie Anderson, aged nineteen, of 2, Royston, Bangor, co. Down, Ireland, would like to correspond with Miss F. A. Jeffery, 848, Columbus Avenue, New York City, U.S.A.
Miss Zeila Bawen, aged seventeen, The Lodge, Stoke St. Milburgha, Ludlow, wishes to correspond with a French girl, of about her own age.
Mrs. Hastings Ogilvie, Bolareen, Deccan, India, sends her address with great pleasure for "Friend Studio." She is a "married girl," and hopes "Friend Studio" will not suppose she is too old.
Miss Anice Cress, Mysore, South India, would be delighted to correspond with "Erica," "Budapesth," "Hungary," or any of our girl readers, in English or French. She is sorry she does not understand German. We quote a sentence from her letter, apropos of another correspondent she has found through The Girl's Own Paper—
"If people in Europe could only see the pleasure it gives us out here to receive European letters, I think they would not consider the trouble they have taken in writing to be in vain. Mail day is such a 'red letter day' to us."
Miss Elspeth Duckett, Orange Fountain, Malmesbury, Cape Colony, South Africa, would also be pleased to correspond with Erica.
Marguerite Rahier (sister of a recent prize-winner) just sixteen, would like a well-educated English correspondent. Address, Rue de la Rampe 5, Brest.
