ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. " Rocket," " Country Bumpkin," " EisHEAMPNED MAN," " COUSIN JANE," " A . Country Bachelor," and "Emily B."— The discussion on " Why Don't the Men Propose ?" was closed a couple of week* ago on account, of the want of space. Dobothy.— (l) " White pimples or lumps" is so indefinite that it ia-almoßt impossible to recommend anything for their romoval. Try a little Epsom salts and cream of tartar dissolved in water every morning foraweekorto, using-warm water and a pure soap when washing. (2) Ido not approve of lemon juice for the face except in extreme cases of subburn or fr«-cklea. Orange conld do no possible good. (3) l)iet yourself, or, better still, be content with-tho recipe which can and does make even a plain face beautiful— namely, cheerfulness, unselfishness, and love. There mu&t be some aiound you who need your willing help and youthful brightness. Lose all thought of yourself in them, and then, no matter what physical drawbacks you may have, tha beauty of the life within will give the highest charm without. Rex.— (l) No ; I believe he is in Christchurch now. (2) See reply to "Dorothy." (3) All liquids have that effect, and I should not think the substitution of water for tea v/ould make any difference. Perelsxed.— (l) You would probably have to wait a very long time before you got an appointment as stewardess on a union Company's steamer, as the company have always a large number of applications for vacancies. (2) Capfcaia Cameron. (3) The dutits are bothharU and disagreeable. W. D.— (l) See reply given above (2) The duties are practically those of a waitress and chamuerznaid combined.
