Week-End in the Bush

DEAR BOYS AND IsiF.LS, —■ HERE is Saturday once again, and no more school for two whole days. Are you pleased? Judging by some of the letter. I have received there are quite a number of little people who like school time better than l '° li ''i y »o n der »h.t you will .11 l» Join* "-i. w..k-.„d. Thcr. ,r. .uch . number of things one can do, &rent there? . j U I have oflen thought wh*t fun it would be to have a caravan and an old r?or;n<r awav from the city and all the crowds, to the cool bush the° quieThills; to sleep near the low murmur of a waterfall, and to wake in the delicate glow of the dawn to the send of echoing birdsong. m theV.J ley. And when morning come, at last and the sun cl.mbs up above the mi.ty hills, what joy to race through the tree, to the clear stream and dip in the icy water that comes gurgling down from the rocky cha.m. higher up. Then, perhaps, to sit patiently on the bank w.th our rod or net, like little Judy and Joan in the picture to-day, waiting, waiting—oh .o long—for a slippcrv, shiny fish for breakfast I .... So bec:ns an ideal we*k-cnd, or at least an ideal one to my mind but we cannot all'have caravan: and horses—and wouldn't we get tired of them if we did—so heap* of happiness and fun to you all, thu week-end, no matter how Girls, I want to know what has happened io our artist.. 1 need soma really . Ol ' I good drawings (in Indian ink only) for . U/l K Ijjjj the page as soon a. possible. So pencil. II te I Q . and pens out quickly!
