ARITHMETICAL PUZZLE.

I am engaged to a young lady, who will not tell me her age, but says

that if I measure her arm (which is a very pretty one) above the elbow,

and multiply the number of inches by the number of the Royal Family (in

1851), and then divide by the number of perfection, I shall discover her

age. As I know a shorter way, I hand over the puzzle to my readers.
