Delia T. (Lausanne).—From your writing we conclude that you are very young. If so, your verses give some promise of better ones when older.
Jackday.—It is suitable for every day. You write very well. There is no "e" in truly.
Little Emily.—See "Girls' Christian Names," pages 39, 134, 235, 381, vol. iv.
Ocklawaka.—Certainly, it is quite improper to walk about alone with a man to whom you are not engaged. We know of no cure suitable for all alike for sea-sickness. Lie down on deck, drink water before being sick, and beware of starving. At the same time, do not select pork nor a suet dumpling just at first. In cases of very severe sickness, swallowing small scraps of ice before and after a spoonful of consommé or jelly is desirable, and an icebag should be applied to the spine.
A Tring Girl should consult a doctor about the moles if very unornamental.
Lady Jane Grey.—The "seven whistlers" are curlew, or herringspear birds, thought to be storm-bringers when heard overhead at sea. You will find a story in Buckland's "Curiosities of Natural History" about them.
Annie Spike should write to the Religious Tract Society, 56, Paternoster-row, E.C., for the tracts she needs. The lines are not poetry—nothing but badly-rhymed prose.
Harty.—Wills can be inspected at Somerset House, in the Strand, W.C.
Une Petite Fleur.—No one could interfere with you in keeping a private school, so far as we know.
Jamie's Darling.—We thank you warmly for your kind letter, and wish you much happiness in your new life and position.
