INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE.

We have an interesting letter from an Australian girl, who asks that a French young lady will kindly write direct to her. She has never been out of Australia, and says, “Letters from a French lady would be helpful to me in two ways; they would allow me to know something of home-life in France, and also help me to improve my knowledge of the language of that far-away land.” The address is, Miss F. Evelyn Smith, Medindie, Adelaide, South Australia.
