Alexandra Carageorgiades (Cyprus).—Thank you for your pleasant little letter. The Girls' Outdoor Book is illustrated. If your friend Miss Mitchell reads this, she will know you send your love to her.
Wymondhamite.—Many thanks for your suggestions. We have already received answers concerning "The Doctor's Fee," but are grateful to you for your kind letter. Your answer and inquiry appear in "Our Open Letter Box."
OUR OPEN LETTER-BOX.
Violet wishes to know the author of two verses beginning,
"It is in loving, not in being loved,"
"The heart is blest."
We cannot find them among Dr. Bonar's "Hymns of Faith and Hope," though Violet suggests they are by him.
Briar Rose asks for a book of recitations containing "The Little Hero" and "The Sioux Chief's Daughter."
We have two answers to "Lennox." One is from "C. J. Hamilton," who complains of her misquotation, and gives George Macdonald's lines as follows:—
"Alas! how easily things go wrong.
A sigh too much, or a kiss too long,
And then comes a mist and a weeping rain,
And life is never the same again.
Alas! how hardly things go right.
'Tis hard to watch on a summer's night,
For the sigh will come, and the kiss will stay,
And a summer night is a winter day."
