IN THE PILLAR BOX

ALICE ANSWERS HER LETTERS Gloria Schwass, Richmond: What did you do when you went to stay with Nana for the holidays, Gloria? How lucky you are to have so many eggs I each day. Jennifer Bunting, Korere: We are so pleased to welcome you to the Wonderland Club, Jennifer, and we would love to hear more about your farm, please. Tat Everett, Brightwater: My word, you were lucky to have your holidays in Masterton, Pat. I have heard that it is very nice up there, but I think I would miss the sea. Judy Moulder, Brightwater: Our black puss, Mr Simpson, catches lots of mice and rats, but makes an awful noise when he is crunching them up. He thinks your kitten is very clever. Joyce Roberts, Motueka: Oh, Joyce, fancy having a baby pig—l have always wanted one. Don’t you think baby pigs are fascinating little things with their curly tails and pink snouts? Nicola Glasgow, Nelson: I can imagine what fun you had over at Torrent Bay at Christmas, Nicola. What are you doing on Saturdays now that the sailing season is over? And have you many flowers out in your garden? Elsie Carter, Rockville: Well, it was a nice surprise to find you had not forgotten the Page, Elsie. Have you had many frosts at Rockville yet? Rita Palmer, Nelson: Many happy returns of last Tuesday, Rita. Did you get lots of lovely presents? I do hope Mother is better now. Aroha Foster-Barham, Stoke: Are you going to build the play house again, Aroha, or are you going to leave it in a capsized state? What a good thing you were not all on the roof when it caved in. Valda Bensemann, Mahana: Thank you for the very interesting letter, Valda. Don’t you love eating bantpms’ eggs? I used to have three speckly bantams, but I think the sillies only laid once. Hugh and Hector Foster-Barham, Stoke: My word, boys, you have done quite a lot of tramping, haven’t you? Did you find any bush snail shells on Brown Acre? Cynthia Hebberd, Wangam®a: I love hearing your Wangamoa news, Cynthia, and always look forward to your letters. Whereabouts is the Pelorus High School? I don’t think I have ever heard of it before.
