TWO FRIENDS

I go swimming every day. In the baths not far away. On my way I never fail, To call and carry home our mail. If there should be a note for me, I'm as pleased as pleased can be, I hold it tight till I get home. And there I sit and read alone.

Sometimes my friend comes in to play. It's Betty, from not far away, We play at schools and houses, too. And lots of other things we do. —PATRICIA WIDDOWSON. A.B. (aged 7), Main road, Prebbleton.

FUN WITH COUSINS

We went up to Christchurch on Christmas Eve.

On Christmas Day I went with Aunty E,lda to see Ted in the hospital. Then on Monday we went to Wirth's Circus. It was the first time I had ever seen the animals acting. I liked the monkeys riding ponies best. One monkey would not ride until he had his sugar. We came back to Hazelburn on Tuesday. At Killinchy we stopped and brought with us our cousins, the Riches, back with us. We have had great fun riding Nigger and bathing. One day we had a little picnic at the river. The

boys sailed speed boats, and we bathed and splashed one another. We went to Caroline Bay one sunny day, and had swings and sea-saws and bathes. My cousins are leaving us on Monday. I am sorry that they are goinp. —MARGARET BLACKLER. Hazelburn.

PUSSY EATS PEAS

When we arc shelling green peas for our dinner and let some fall, our wee pussy runs after them and eats them up^ —BETTY WINCHESTER, Ashburton.

I am staying at my Auntie's with Owen and Margaret. We have been to the river. We went to a creek and we had a paddle. —HELEN RICHES, Stayirfg with Margaret Blackler, Hazleburn,
