THE LADIES.

By Alice.

The world m< B*d— the gardon wu a wild, And m»n, the Hermit, sighed, ttil womiin imlled. — CiuruiLL. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS, I made a mistake In stating that " John Halifax, Gentleman," was written by M. O. Hay, although it is sometimes attributed to that author. Miss Mulook — afterwards Mrs Oraik — wrote it. A masculine* voioe hero interpoies— " 'Twas I who put you wrong. Give your lady readers the moral of the story— never take a man's advice ! " May P.— That is a nice name you have given me— " An Unknown Friend " — and I thank you for the kin.d thinga you have said. It is a pleasure [to ire to be of any help. Do not grieve. It is eaty to write .thoae words, 3s it not ? But I mean them. You cannot love what i» bo contemptible ; and in losing such a. friend you have lost very little. The greater loss is in what you imagined him to be. Do nothing at all to regain so poor an affection. "It is not worth the keeping— let it go." FiOKHNZO.— (I) Your letter is a little confusing. Bvldenfcly you have omitted a few wordi, which faot makes it rather hard to understand. Your first queition is oleat enough, and I have endeavoured to answer you in the beginning of my letter. (2) I do not think that there is anything important about the photos. Tottik.— Thank you very much for the clippings ; it was thoughtful and nice of you. (1) About the middle of August, I believe. (2) " Dear madam." Maky. — Use Mrs Allen's hair reitorer"; it will prevent your hair turning grey, I believe. If it doei, please let me know, as 1 like to have reliable recipes to recommend to others. One lady whoie hair turned prematurely grey told me that the lotion rostored it to its natural colour. Thank you for your kind remarks.
