TERENCE COMES TO BUDGETLAND. AND PETER PAN IS AN EDITOR NO LONGER.

Dear Boys and Gills, — Ten minutes ago I walked briskly into ihe Budget office with numbers of vast and momentous things running through my mind. You understand, ten minutes ago I Was an editor, and editors, lam told, usually do have vast and momentous things to dwell upon. Now, alas, a young gentleman has usurped my place and lam an editor no longer. The young gentleman in question is Terence. Terence is six. "Good morning," said this young person, oh, so very politely, and then in a hurst of confidence, I m one of friends I did not exactly groan, mind—nearer to say I sighed. You see„ Wendy has so many friends, and, truth to tell, I find it not a little difficult to I(eep track of them. "Have a blackball," said Terence quite affably. "They re a bit sticky, but not bad really. Can you guess what Wendy has promised me?" "No," I saidj but my heart sank. 1 "She says I can come in every afternoon and play at your desk-" Terence is still in possession. ITe throws the papers in the Waste paper Q basket and draws cats in the margins of my books. But Wendy chuckles and »j calls him "her little pel." So that, as Tink• would $ ay, is that. CAPTAIN
