Answers to Correspondents

J. A. R- -ss: Your action in using the Librarian's pen was certainly "most unwarrantable." We are surprised that you were not put under arrest, but we are glad to see that the pen in question is now locked up during the Librarian's absence, so that a repetition of your offence is unlikely.

J. Sh- -t: You say that you now prefer "L'Allegro" to "Il Penseroso" We think the lines you are referring to must be,

"Come and trip it as you go
On the light fantastic toe."

Miss M - -y B - k - r" As you say, it is a difficult matter. Nazol and Fluenzol both have their followers. Why not read up the subject in "Medicine for the Home" or write to the makers for a list of testimonials.

Pr-f. M. - - k - nz - e: We are sorry that your advertisement for a chaperson has met with no response. Perhaps if you were to advertise your lectures it would be an inducement. "The Phychology of Love," including "Women as they are Wooed," "Men and how to Manage Them," etc.

Miss W - ts - n: Your little work "The Pre-eminence of Punction" to hand. We heartily recommend it to all young essayists.

Scotus: We have found the apt personal description of the genial professor you refer to roaming the halls of his own Alma Mater. It is not in Gaelic, As you supposed, but in simple Sassenach, and that is its only fault:—

"For when, in studious mood, he paced
"St. Andrews' cloistered hall,
"His form no darkening shadow traced
"Upon the sunny wall."
