DEAR FREDERICK: 

We have had no further news about Crusoe’s Island.  Rest assured that we will tell our young friends when anything more is heard of or from the island of Juan Fernandez.  The editor.

    Dear Mr. Editor: 

I have of late become deeply interested in your delightful little paper, the great round world, and as I saw many of the enthusiastic readers writing to you, and asking different requests, I thought I would follow their example.  I use your little book for different purposes.  At school we have to begin topics, and I get a great deal of information from your little paper.  I also spend many happy moments reading its contents.

I wish you would send me the names of a few good books.  I do not want anything like fairy tales, but something on the order of “Six Girls,” by Miss Irving, or “Little Women”; or I would be more pleased with the names of a few good boarding-school stories.  I would also like you to explain the relationship between Noah and Daniel Webster.

    Hoping I will receive an answer in a short time, I remain,

                                        Your interested reader,
    Cincinnati, O., Feb. 22d, 1897.  Grace G.

DEAR GRACE: 

We are very glad you take pleasure in the great round world, and that you find it useful.

We are told by a girl who is fond of reading, that “A World of Girls,” by Mead, is the most delightful school story ever written.

“Jackanapes,” “Six to Sixteen,” “A Flat-Iron for a Farthing,” are all three by Mrs. Ewing, and are charming books.

“An Old-Fashioned Girl,” and Miss Yonge’s “Pillars of the House,” are both interesting.

History does not tell us of any close relationship between Noah and Daniel Webster.  Editor.

    Dear editor: 

    I tried “Sylvia’s Caramels,” and found them very nice.

The other day I went to the Zoo.  It is very nice.  Chiquita is twenty-six inches tall and twenty-six years old.  She is very cunning.  She slept in a cigar-box up to the time that she was six years old!  The man that told about her said that there was nothing she disliked more than to be called “dear little thing.”

You asked us to tell you about any book that we like.  “Timothy’s Quest” is one of my favorite stories, by Kate Douglas Wiggin.  All her stories end well, this one especially.  It is very funny, also.

    Will you please send me a “Who?  When?  What?” chart?

Wishing success to your little paper, I remain,

Your true and constant reader,
West Newton, Mass., Feb. 20th, 1897.  Clara M.B.
