WHO CAN ANSWER THIS?
Dear Jack: Like the Little School-ma'am's friend, Dorothy G——, I have been reading the "Life of Longfellow," and I found in it the following extract from his diary, which has puzzled me:
"R. at tea. He gave us the following verse for finding on what day of the week the first of any month falls:
'At Dover dwells George Brown, Esquire,
Good Christopher Finch and Daniel Frier.'"
Now, can you, Dear Jack, or can some of your wise friends tell me how to discover on what day of the week the first of any month falls, by the aid of this couplet?
Yours truly, M. W——.
