G. D. C.--You should write to some of the great shipping firms owning
passenger vessels for all such particulars. Rules and terms vary a good
deal, and to give those of one firm would not enlighten you in reference
to others. You ought to understand the duties of a lady's-maid, and be a
good sailor.
NAUGHTY ONE should ask her music teacher whether she should continue her
practising during the visit or whether she would prefer her to desist
for a time. Give her the option; politeness demands it.
BRIGTON.--Your verses show a good deal of poetic feeling, although
without any special indication of originality of thought. The verses
entitled "Morning" ought to have rhymes, as it is not blank verse. You
ought to study the rules of metrical composition before putting your
thoughts into metre. This is as essential to the construction of verse,
as to be acquainted with those of harmony or counterpoint, before
attempting to compose music.
NELLIE P.--We do not know of any hospital specially instituted for the
cure of chronic indigestion. Probably the best cure for you would be
found in treatment at certain mineral baths. On this point you should
obtain medical advice. Those of Vichy (France) or Carlsbad (Bohemia),
Aix-la-Chapelle, or some of our own, might be suitable for you.
