We are always glad to hear from you ; your hints will be attended to, and any suitable question you may. send will be inserted in the " Corner." Enquirer — You are right. The truth is precisely this — the bouquet in question was culled from - a list of flowers published by Austin and M' Asian, Glasgow, and not copied from the Family Herald, a periodical I have not seen for many years. lam aware that bouquets have appeared in several publications, and as the names of the flowers are unchanged, it is quite possible that there may be a dose similarity in them aIL . Paterfamilias— Your letter is ' encouraging. The "Corner" is designed for a family such as yours, and your youngsters are better employed in trying the solution of the questions, than play* ing, as too many do, the wild Arabs.of . the pave* ment, to the no small annoyance of the public. ' Victor — Your question will appear in the next "Corner." i Solutions of No. 14 received up to 16th current.- ; . . M-j - ■,- . . i
