O-T "HOW TO LIVE COMFORTABLY ON £200 A YEAR IN NEW ZEALAND." Everything is going up. Everyone limited in income to souie sucti sum as we iiave suggested, complains that it is "impossible to maite cuus meet nowadays," and that to marry on such a sum is absurd. Is It? Are not the main difficulties artificial, created by a more ostentatious style of living generally? Granted rents are unduly high; also that the cost of building practically prohibits the acquirement of "a home of one's own," are there not compensating reductions, advantages, which the parents of the rising generation were denied. These and similar questions arising from them are for our readers to answer. Prizes are offered for the best solution of the problem. First—A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION TO THE "GRAPHIC," Value £1. Second—FlVE SHILLINGS CASH.

In response to a suggestion from a correspondent, to whom our thanks are due. we have pleasure iv auuouucinu an Anagram Competition. WHAT IS AX ANAGRAM ? An Anagram consists of the letters of a word used so as to form another word, or words. Its excellence is determined by its appositeness—that is, in the new words made being in some way related to the meaning of the original word chosen. This can best be seen from the following examples, some of which are excellent:— CHOSEN WORD. ANAGRAM. Argumentstirely At it! Ye vulvar mci Broken On kerb Consternation O Nance!
