A. Dalgcty—-De more carcrul or your word soundings and you will have a bettor idea or how to rhyme. A word ciulin? In "ring:" lias quite a different sound from one ending: in "ling:, hasu t it? G grade.

Elva Brunton—The sentiments expressed in "The Tear" are quite good, Elva, but 1 think you could Have expressed tlicm a little better. I would like to see another attempt from you, as you would appear to have a good Ideal or rhyme. B grade. Brian Hannkon—'"Measles" Is hardly a checrrul subject Tor a poem, is it, Brian? I "think it would have been better had you treated It from a more humorous angle. C grade.

Bronda Ure—"Robin Hood or Mexlco"_ is not a type usually accepted lor publication in these pages, Bre'nda. Study these pages to pet a better Idea of our requirements. C grade.

Lily Bryan—Thanks Tor the little verses, but they arrived too-late ror pubII cat ion during the Northerners' visit.

Betty Lo Wool—"Shopping:" docs not rhyme very well, Hetty, and for that reason I am not publishing It. Read your work over card Hilly before sending it in, and be sure that Hie \yords have the same sound. "Trot" and 'Mot" have a similar ending, but "sy-op" is finite di|l'ercnt,' isn't it? C grade.
