Fairiel Sends An Answer To

"Clianthus," Ngalo.—Did you notice how sweet was the ecent of gorse-in the sun?. Sorry the palatini "went smudgy," elf. "Blinking Billy," Lower Hutt.—How funny, childle ... I thought Billy must surely be a boy. "Blaok Beauty," Lower Hutt.—A real little song of Bprlng you sent, pixie. I shall keep it. "Billie Dove," Lower Hutt.—'Cos no picture Is complete without a frame, childle. And the next special page? The Spring Maid's. "Golden Slippers" Brooklyn.—Better again now, Utile elf? Holiday-time was quite tho wrong time to be ill, wasn't It? ; "Chocolate Elf," Lower Hutt.—Such a gay little house with its orange door. ... I'd love to live In it.

"Greenstone," Johnsonvllle. Remember to sign proper names, too, elf. I'm so glad you paid me a visit and that you liked the Ring. "Queen of Autumn," Brooklyn.—All the flowers found 1 Did "Rainbow Girl" try, too? Joyce Jones, Belmont.—That •' riddle was a puzzler. .. . Shall we pass it on? "Gloaming."

"Hunca Munca," Taihape.—For two weeks It was a visitor's Ring, i Such jolly • times we had, meeting other pixies.

DEAR PIXIE PEOPLE: "I loved the Bird Page," said nearly every letter in the Postman's mailbag . . . and such a mailbag! The Letterbox 'Elf ivorked so hard that he looks quite thin this morning. "I can see that I shall need two weeks' holiday soon" he remarked, rather grumpily for him, but as'we opened one brown paper packet after another, and each painting seemed more lovely •■■ than the. last, his smile grew till it was its usual broad \ self again. It ivas, a painting of wings, wasn't it, elves . . . bird wings and:fairy . . . gossamer film and rainbow tints. Some of .fyou made little grey birds with the hidden tints that the sun discovers in the breasts of pigeons . . . and some ivere the blue of the sky and the sea blended together. But I know you are longing to hear the names of the Winning pixies, so here they are:— "Polyanthus" f 12), "Queen of the' Bluebells" (12), "Hoppitt 11" (IS), "Dancing Water" (15), "Mistletoe Fairy" (10), and "Ice Cream" (10). Still there are some small people who do not mount ' their pictures on cardboard and draw a design for a , frame, but almost every entry showed careful work and thought.■• Three cheers for the six bests, and three more, for all the good triers! " : Lr-. FAIRIEL,

'and I 'spect you had,-a 1 jolly time. ';■ '■■'• "White Fox,"..Na»ier. —They, are so'dalnty . . . your pencilled fairies;' but the paper is so frail that I'm afraid the Picture Man might * not be able to handle It., "YeHowhammer," Johnsonvllle.---He whistles because he is happy . . . and Jb'ecause Spring is coining, I am sure.
