ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
Lavender. —The florists frequently have bunches of lavender for sale, but we do not know of anyone who would buy dried lavender for the purpose of making sachets, etc. Why not use your ingenuity by making sachets and pot-pourri yourself. You might be able to dispose of them privately. Anxious to Know.—Crocheting lace by the yard, we think, would be somewhat tiresome and unsatisfactory. You must take your time and labour into consideration, and decide the price accordingly. At a. shilling an hour it is doubtful if it would pay you. One can’t decide these things off-hand —a lot depends on the intricacy of the pattern, etc. The only thing to do is decide how much the time and labour is worlh. Doilies are from 2s lie] upwards in the shops here. L. —Lavender should be pulled in the cool of the evening, preferably after a fine day, us it then retains the perfume, and when in full bloom. Now is the time t-o pull it.
