LETTER FROM CHIEF KIWI.

TJEAR KI IVIS,—-Another week has ” Slipped by. and once more it is time for me to write to you. I feel so very pleased that th e silver paper suggestion has appealed to you, and already some has come in Margaret Claughton having sent in some beautiful sheets, and an anonom ous donor having handed in a nice Weighty packet of it at the “Tribune” office. My most grateful thanks. Several other Kiwis, too, have announced their intention of helping, end I mean to indulge in a big box for it td “uve” i n while it is waiting to make the journey to Wellington, and Fairiel." New Kiwis are Edith Cocks, Ada Venables, Dorothy Farmery, Annette Biddiford Sylvia Thomas and Harry Medealf. 1 am so sorry to disappoint the last-named by not having his essay printed, but there is a strict rule, Harry, that all entries must be in ink. Also you must leave a mar gin. Some small Kiwis write in pen ail first, and then ink it over. Tour essay was quite goodfor six years old. I hope you will tty again. Such a nice not reached me irom Maud Jones—a former Kiwi, and I was ever so pleased. It was a tragic tale though', Maud, about your brother’s lost certificates. I can't imgaine now they could be lost, and think that surely they are only mislaid, and will be found in some altogether unthought of oorner. Many thanks for your offer to save silver paper. Even the smallest pieces Will be most welcome.—Hilda Sanson—lt was a pity that you forgot to attach your age to your essay Hilda, tor your adventure! would be of interest to other Kiwis, and if you like to forward your age, 1 will hold the essay for publication next week. Don’t forget when writing future essays, that you must attach your age, leave a margin and give your subject a title. —Alex McDonald—Biddle and joYe Was on same page, Alex. All entries must be on sparate paper.— T*ggy Lea—There was not enough rhyme in your nduic, Peggy, but Otherwise quite a clever composition. —Jean Garnett —Your essay, contributed la's! week, Jean, was too long for publication. Strangely enbugh, three different Kiwis have selected the same subjet for their letter, and told me of the house of their dreams. I wonder hoW tEs eame about. Surely it is aot just a coincidence.—M.
