AN M.B.G.'S LETTER.

Dear M i** Morion. — I urn sending you ten mark cai'U to ''ln.ni my " M.8.G."

" For ui'iir y three years now J have been a member o! Gills and Boys. :iu<J at last I have af!;i;ied the 'M.B.G.' st 11 mlard. Wluii f think how long it bus taken me. I guiltily tli nk tlml I could not have been .1 very enthmiiastir: member of our page. 1 liifit'\"cr, i urn consoled when 1 remember that- very f«w of my contributions to tbe !: i: U and Boys page liave not been published. Mid that instead of receiving ioark-cu.de. J have received either cash prize; or Gold Star*. " W'tii tie money T have received I have bought many useful things which 1 otherwise could not have hud. On my bookshelves stand several books, on tbe flyleaves of which are summed yellow slips. "Written on these slips aie the names of the competitions in which I won the books, together wit'i my name and your signature. lht.se bookt* I will keep all my life, to leminJ mc of my happy and successful' association wi h the famous Gills and Boys' page of Die New Zealand Heiiald. Less thiin u year's membership of our page is left to me, and owing to the fact that I am studyi'ig and working J urn afraid I shnll be able to devote very little of my time contributing to Girls and Boys. However T shall do my best, and though the possibility of success seems very remote I shall try hard to become a 'D.M.B.G.' before ' Old Father Time ' prevents my contributing any more."—Hugh Fleming (17 years) p Grande Vuo fioad* Alanurewa.
