EDUCATIONAL.
Admirer of Merle’s Crusade.—You are too young to enter a hospital for training. You might, however, prepare for so doing by attending ambulance classes, where practical bandaging is performed. Also get a shilling manual, which we have often recommended, “Sick Nursing at Home.” (Gill, 170, Strand, W.C.)
Annie B. C.—There is an amateur girls’ society, called the Arithmetic Society, which includes algebra, and to which instructive correspondence in English and French is added. As usual, the fee is little more than nominal, and prizes are given annually. Secretary, Miss Frances Mason, care of Mr. Horwood, 62, Green-lanes, London, N.
WORK.
Regular Subscriber.—We do not understand your question about crewel work, but as you have our paper, you will easily find articles on it to give you the special information you need.
Feathery Flakes.—A dark green velveteen bodice would look the best with a dark green serge skirt. It should be made quite plain, with a pointed front and a coat-tail back.
Nancy Till.—Slate, or a pretty light brown, or a grey cashmere, would all be pretty colours for a serviceable wedding gown. The bonnet should match, unless you preferred a white one, which would be more suitable to a wedding, but less useful. We wish you much happiness and God’s blessing on your union.
A. J. D. H.—We should not advise you to expend ten shillings on any such advertisement; they are generally mere catchpennies, and the money is wasted.
May.—You can procure the special instruction books that you require at the Bazaar office, 170, Strand, W.C.
