LOVED ONES: Next week our Autumn Lady comes, and glad ... so glad we'll be to see her again. For her days are a glory of gold, and her nights are wide-eyed and starry with loveliness; and she weeps only when Winter jostles her roughly inlo one of his own chilly moods. But she's a glad one, most linics, our Autumn, and all the earth welcomes her with a riot of colour. And yes, you shall have a painting, my elves,, so that you may greet her, too, with green and scarlet and gold. So have your paint-brushes ready, next Saturday night. . . . Tuesday next is Anzac Day a day of remembrance in our New Zealand. When you pass the tall, quiet memorial, pixies who live in the City,'stop for a moment, and read the words upon it ... and please, will you write them to me in your next letters, as a tiny part of your own remembering? A loved soldier-poet in the Great War wrote other lines: "To you with failing hands We throw the torch. Be yours to hold it high. . . ." And that torch of loyalty and faith the smallest of you is not too young to hold, although you may not fully understand. . . . Love to you all. FAIRIEL.
