We think we have now said enough to set our girls thinking, and though
we have far from exhausted our subject, we hope that each reader will be
able to deduce some hints which may be applicable to herself.

BOOKS FOR TIRED GIRLS.

Have not some readers of THE GIRL'S OWN PAPER a few to spare?

A little reading-room and library for business girls is about to be
opened in the new Y.W.C.A. Buildings, 316, Regent-street, now quickly
nearing completion. Help is greatly needed in making it really
attractive for those whose minds are hungry after the day's mechanical
work, but who are too weary to take up a prosy volume.

Brightly written works of history, biography, natural history, travels,
etc., would be warmly welcomed, and good poetry and fiction; also graver
books, specially such as would be helpful to Sunday-school teachers.

Parcels should be addressed to Miss L. Trotter, 316, Regent-street,
London, who will thankfully acknowledge them.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

EDUCATIONAL.

H. F. and CONAMARA.--Write to Griffith and Farran, St.
Paul's-churchyard, E.C., for a small shilling manual called a "Directory
of Girls' Clubs," which will give you a large choice of educational,
literary, industrial, artistic, and religious societies instituted for
the benefit of girls, the cost being little more than nominal.

M. HEDGE.--The change of your address, from what has been given in the
"Directory of Girls' Clubs," will probably cause you inconvenience,
which it is now too late to avoid. You should have named the probability
of a change. In any case, we can tell our readers that those who wish to
avail themselves of your useful Society for Studying Languages, should
address the secretary at Lyndhurst Lodge, Chelsea-road, Southsea, Hants.

A. G. O. E.--We scarcely think that any system for helping the memory
for ordinary use would be of service to you in the matter of playing
long pieces of music by heart; it is so much a mechanical operation, the
hands often acting while the mind is preoccupied with other matters. Try
to learn a simple air, not a long piece of six pages.

A SWISS GIRL.--The Cambridge and Oxford examinations are open to
students of all nationalities alike. For information respecting those of
either university, write direct. If you wish to compete in the Cambridge
junior local examination, held in December, you must be under seventeen.
