WENDY CHATS

Dear Girls, — Um-m-m-m, ' that is what Tink. is murmuring as she pops one of Peter Pan s chocolates into her mouth. They are the most delicious chocolates, and oh, so rich! I am getting quite worried in case I have Peter Pan and Tink. and the Croc, all ill in bed to-morrow. (And Wendy, too!—P.P.) You see, this morning I went out for a little walk quite sad at heart because Peter Pan was looking so gloomy. "It's his conscience," 1 thought, ' worrying him over that old spring page," and 1 felt so sorry for him 1 decided there and then to cheer him up and become friends once more. I lcokad in my purse. I had eightpence. Now what could I buy poor P<Xer Pan with eightpence. "Cream cakes," urged Tink., who was flitting at my side. This was unworthy of Tink., for full well did I know her weakness for cream cakes and Peter Pan's aversion of them. And just when I was beginning to despair, having thought of cigarettes, preserved ginger and peanuts in quick succession, an answer to the problem presented itself in the form of an old man selling tiepins. A tiepin—the very thing I The pin cost only 4d. So with my pin and my 4d change I returned to the office. And there awaiting me was Peter Pan, all smiles, with a big bag of chocolates. "They're all for you, Wendy," said he. "Orange creams and fudge." Now, wasn't that nice of him? I gave him the tiepin, and although he used it for pinning together some competition entries, he seemed quite pleased with it. So spring has come to Budgetland and everyone ia happy. Love from
