A funny thing about parents is that they can find interesting reading in newspapers.

CORRESPONDENCE
Dear Editor,—You did me the honour to ask me to contribute to your magazine, but as I am no writer I can send you nothing of my own. But I have arranged for a very nice piece of nonsense to be copied out for you. It was written by a mathematician and philosopher named W. K. Clifford and was published years ago but seems now to be forgotten. It was Mrs. W. K. Clifford who wrote a delightful book for children called The Getting-well of Dorothy and a delightful book for grown-ups called Aunt Anne. Wishing every success for The Beguiler in its most admirable campaign,—I am, yours faithfully,
Richard Haven
