ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. J. C. — There is nothing better than milk for cleaning piano keys in a usual way. If, however, the white keys are s very much discoloured, ol«an with a soft rag dipped in the piece of a lemon. A rubbing with, milk may be given every few weeks. Caitoab. — "Rungahiwi" is, literally, "top of the ridge," or "south crest of the ridge," or the, "south beaten track," or footpath. Which of the two interpretations is correct you will easily determin* from the configuration of ' the < country. All Maori place names referred, either to topographical leaiures or tribal events. It would be interesting to ' know what- tribal event, U any;, took place on that "top of the rsdg«,' oi^ -where that "beaten track" to $he. south came from? a I -was glad l to hear fronn you at last, and I expect you know, dear, tactful lady, how your kindly appreciation dissolves the chill of. waiting* in its pleasant .warmth. R. B.— l hope you got my letter addressed to Post Office, x New Plymouth. ' White Cloveh. — It is a most difficult position, ' and ono which will iemand high principle and very strong loyalty to carry through. Of course, you must 'make it a condition of the continuance of the friendship <jh*t there must be no repetition of the incident, 'which, once referred to, should be consigned to oblivion. Bui all the same, my dear girl, I think you have a difficult task before , you, whose faithful &x«cution will add to your nobility.
