There was a wonderfully clever letter from a 'M.R.C.S.' about the difficulty of managing young girls, and recommending a strict school where he had sent his daughter.

And next month there were long letters from five 'British Mothers' and 'A Countess' who had not been able to manage their daughters, and had sent them to this school, and were in every way satisfied.

Mr.St.John declared that all the letters were written by one person to advertise the school, but he always does say those sort of things about anything I'm interested in." "You're very kind," said Mrs.Buller.
"There was a most extraordinary correspondence, too, after that shoemaker's daughter in Lambeth was tried for poisoning her little brother," continued Mrs.St.John.

"The _Saturday Review_ had an article on it, I believe, only Mr.St.John can't bring papers home from the mess, so I didn't see it.

The letters were all about all the dreadful things done by girls in their teens.
