Questions will not be answered unless accompanied by the name and address of correspondents.

” Disgusted,”—We doubt whether the publication of your letter would be in the girl’s own interest. '• Eciitha,” Milton.—So far as can be ascertained, the McDonald tartan is not stocked in Dunedin. In order to procure It, an indent order would have to be placed with a local Arm or a direct importation made. “ Domestic Service,” Waitatl.—Domestic servants in a public institution are in the same category for taxation purposes as those employed in hotels or tea rooms. They are liable for the tax of 8d in the £, board and lodging being assessed as an additional 17s 6d per week. Women are exempt from taxation up to £SO per annum for the employment charge on income other than salary or wages. ” Begonia,” Caversharn. —The catalogues published by some of the English seed firms are obtainable in New Zealand. Ryder’s catalogue can be obtained from Wellington by sending a coupon from our advertising columns published on the garden page each Saturday during April, May, and June. The address of Messrs Ryder and Son, Ltd., seed specialists, is St. Albans, England. The local agent for Sutton’s seeds may be able to supply a catalogue, and the same may apply to the firm of Yates. A complete list of British seed merchants can be seen in the London Directory at the Dunedin Public Library.
