ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Miles. — The Ladies' column is not written for gentlemen, although judging from my correspondents a number of them are good enough to take an interest in it. Those recipes that are a puzzle to you are clear as daylight to the women. You may be quUe sure whatever you wish to aay will be kept private. I do not think you are very successful in your undertakings, and that you do not defer quite enough to the opinions of others. You like your own -way, but have not the knack of getting It, unless "at all costs." You are very despondent just now, although ambitious. These are the impressions I gain from your letter; am I right? You write it in a olouded atmosphere, among uncongenial influences ; the fores of your character has been misdirected and you have become too realistic. You are affectionate and candid naturally, but private worries have brought about a habit of reserve. I expect you wonder how I know, as I have never seen you, and do not know to whom I write. I have a way of my own of find, ing out Perhaps it is what the old ladles call second sight.
