Happy Lines.
"THE BUSH." Tall ani stately are your. trees, Here and there are busy bees. Wild flowers o'er the ground shoot up, Whilst here and there is a buttercup. The earth is strewn with fallen leaves; Fresh, so fresh, is the gentle breeze. Such is the bush where I'd love to play, Happy, contented, all the day. JULIA BABRY. Lower Hutt. "THE GARDEN FETE." "I went to the garden fete at the Hospital last Saturday; there were such a lot of people there. I saw some little crifpled children sitting on the grass enjoying the sunshine. They did look so happy, and it did seem so sad that they could not run about like I was. There was a Punch and Judy show, which I liked very much. Such a lot of grown-up people were looking at it, so they must have enjoyed it too!" "MOUNTAIN BBEEZE." Morningtoii. ! "FOR MY SCRAP-BOOK ..." "I have gathered all the King's pictures I could find and painted them for in,y scrap-book. Then I have gathered all my good 'unwanted' pages of drawing paper, and I am going to bind them together with some cloth. ..." "ANTIOPE." Seatoun. "HE BARKS. ..." "Wo- have a little dog at home; he is a little black half-water spaniel and fox terrier. If you go past him without patting him he barks until you do. . . . "We often see the sheep getting rounded up, for shearing. About three or four months ago the sheep all,had darling wee lambs, but now thoy are nearly as big as their mothers." "QUEEN 0' THE HILLS." Belmont. "THE CIRCUS." "During my school holidays I went to tho circus one day, and saw a few clowns. A man put a big, long pole on his shoulder, and a girl climbed up it and did tricks on it." PAULINE PARKEE. Potone. "RUNNING DIVES "I must tell you of my struggles to try running dives. Yesterday I went to Thorndon baths, and practised diving nearly all tlic time. I can do a standing dive properly, but when it comes to running dives —well. I do hate the way the end of the diving-board springs up and hits you—l mean me/ "LADY KOWEK-A." . Wellington.
