ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. Pearl.— l am afraid you have burnt your boots, and nothing you can do will restore the leather. It will crack and the boots will be of no use. You might try a little mutton fat and beeswax melted together, but I do not think anything will do any good. Lokna.— (l) Under the circumstances the best time

would be after leaving the parlour and on sit- „ ting down to the breakfast. The nature of the liquor depends upon the taste and inclinations of the parties. If they did not wish for a variety, whisky and port wine should suffice. (2) Yea. (3) The bride. (4) The best man. (5) It depends upon the size of the room. Select the Mghtest spot, with their faces to the window, nd the guests in front. (6) Lemon water, not too trong, has a good effect. You can get lozengea r the pt.ipose at any chemists. B. D. L.— lt is quite true that you ought to have mentioned both names, but the matter is far from being a serious one, and a verbal apology to the lady omitted, offered when the opportunity presents itself, will quite meet the necessities of the case. G. P.— You have certainly got both yourself and your friend into a most unpleasant position, and I do not see how you can take any steps to mend matters beyond making the fullest apology possible to the person you have so seriously injured. Even though the stories you heard had a foundation in truth, it was not to bo supposed that they were intenled to become public property, and you were certainly guilty of a grave breach of confide in repeating them.
