So it’s a wee bit of a leap over to the 🦋 place, where I’ve got 70 followers rather than 33,000, but some of the nicest people are already there and I hope more friends give it a try. See you there for the Sunday caption contest, my name there is also @GirlsOwn

"Anxious reader" cannot better occupy her time than by knitting for the Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen.
The rhymes are imperfect in the verse you send, but they have some poetical feeling. We are sure you had pleasure in writing them, so by all means continue, but please do not send them to us for publication.
Enjoy the Sunday caption contest. Be generous with your ❤️s and retweets, and don’t forget #GirlsOwnCC

The unpleasant flushing of which you complain after exertion in hot weather is quite natural, especially to persons of fair complexion and inclined to be stout.

Certainly high heeled boots and shoes are very injurious. They distort the shape of the foot, make the nails grow in, strain some of the tendons more than others, produce cramp, and make the wearer walk just like a turkey.

We have read your poems with great attention, and see by your close imitation of them how you appreciate Tennyson and Christina Rossetti. [Implying plagiarism? I rather like the thought of a reader testing @GirlsOwn to see if she’d lambast even their poetic works.]
