ALICE ANSWERS HER LEXTERS

Ter«nce Wells, Stanley Brook: I read in the paper about your success at Richmond, Terence. lam so pleased. What a successful rabbit-shooting ■ day your father had when he shot 21. Jacquiitne Bird, Cobb River: I think I would prefer living amongst hills to living on flat land, Jacquiline. I should think you would get more tired of plains than bushy hills with all their secrets. Elli°tt Nuttall, Harakeke: I have often passed Blackbird Valley, Elliott, and I have always thought it ought to be very pretty. lam glad you say it is. Are there any picnic spots there? Valerie Jordan, Stanley Brook: What a lovely party you had. Valerie. I wish I could have been there to taste some of those lovely butterfly cakes. peter Nuttall, Harakeke: Perhaps Austen and Elliott will take you up on the hills in the school holidays. Peter. I think you are very lucky to have 4 Butch as a playmate. Helen Lucas, Atawhai: You say it was lovely and hot at school, Helen. My word, I am inclined to say it was terribly hot at the office. I always feel like a grease spot by the time I reach home in the afternoon. Shirley C® u per, R.M.D., Takaka: My word, Shirley, you will be able to make yourself beautiful frocks with all the experience you have had in making dolls’ clothes. Thank you for the riddles. Mary Inw«od, Motucka: Thank you for the poem, Mary. I don’t really agree with it, do you? It i s quite good fun to boys’ games sometimes, isn’t it? Pattie Crichton, Wakefield: Fancy waking up in time to write a letter at 6.30 in the moring, Pattie. Why, I find it difficult enough to wake up at 7.30, and am certainly in no mood to write letters. Betty Bright, Tapawera: Thank you for the contributions to the Page, Betty. IJave the raspberries turned red in Tapawera yet? lam looking forward to a lovely cool feast of them, aren’t yon? Edna Tr<hvei, Go wan Bridge: I do like your newsy letters, Edna. I hope Tui likes her new home. White Rabbit says he would love a little piece of your mistletoe which is flowering so early. Joan Crichton, Wakefield: I shall be thinking of you to-morrow when you will be flower girl, Joan. Do write and tell us all about the wedding and what the decorations were like.
