DEAR UNTO MY HEART.

The thing most "Dear to my heart" is a tiny shoe with a sliding top, made of wood from a castle on the Isle of Wight. As it was given to me by a very old friend I naturally treasure it very much.— (Molly Armstrong, Onehunga, age 13.)

If you take a peep at my dressing table the first thing that meets your eye is a small silver hair-brush, which is very "Dear unto my heart," as it was given to rac by my grandmother on the day when I was born, just 15 years ago.—(Pearl Sutton, Grev Lvnn, age 15.)

"Dear unto my heart/' is a watch which ruy father gave me, and as it is the first watch I have ever had I treasure it very much.—(Selwyn Sharp, SUlerslie, age 8.)

"Dear unto my heart" is a little blackboard for drawing on. I spend many hours playing with it.— (Lorna Woodward, Remuera, age 5 years.)

"Dear unto my heart" is a collection of well-bound school journals, collected by a friend who has now left school. Not one journal is missing, from Standard I. to Standard VL, and they are very interesting to read.-—(Eden Coombes, Taumarunui, age 12.)

One of the many things I treasure "Dear unto my heart" is. a quaint pair of Chinese shoes, which were given to me for my ninth birthday, when I was acting on the stage as a little Chinese girl from China; but now I have grown right out of them.—(E. McNamara, Morningside, age 14.)

'Dear unto my heart" is a silk handkerchief which was given to me by my uncle. He was a soldier in the Great War, and bought it at Panama for me.— (Clare Danby, Mount Eden, age 12.)
