LETTER-BOX

KATHLEEN LITTLEJOHN.— That was certainly a good tongue twister, Kathleen. How lovely to have all those Chinese gooseberries.

NGAIO RIOLING.—I am so glad the Page Is so popular among your family, Ngaio. I expect your daddy is having an enjoyable holiday in Australia.

BETTY McDlCKEN.—Welcome to our Circles, Betty. You may write or print, whichever you prefer, so long as it is neat. The sketch was not quite good enough for the Page. Better luck next time.

PATTY KINZETT. —Yes, it is much cooler now—quite an agreoable change. It Is sad to leave a school that you really like. I am sure you will enjoy High School, Patty.

PATRICIA MILLIER. —I am sure you are sorry to leave St. Heliers. It is such a delightful spot. I am sorry to lose Gwenda as a member, and wish her the best of luck in Wellington. What a shame to have to give away all your old playthings.

MARJERY TUCKER. —What a pity it was too wet for your school concert, Marjery. I am so glad you liked the Easter Page. WANDA SUMNER. —Welcome in, Wanda. Yes, I am very fond of music. I hope you enjoyed your holiday in Auckland.

SUMANA COORAY. —Many thanks for the interesting letter, Sumana, also for the sketches, some of which I hope to publish. The Indian girl was well done, but it Is a bit old for the Page. No, I don't think I know the little honey suckers you describe.

MARY LE QUESNE.—Welcome to our Circles, Mary. The badges are 1/6. BERYL HAYWARD.---That was certainly a remarkable man. Beryl. 1 should not like to be quite so tall, would you? EDWARD FARNSWORTH.— Your little essay was not quite good enough for publication, Edward. Try not to use so many "then's" in your writing. There are many other ways of telling what comes next. BETTY SANGSTER. —Dear me, Betty, you do sound as if you are in the backblccks, but it must be great fun all the same. I hope you don't meet any wild pigs when you go for that walk.

PEGGY SCOTT. —Thanks for the photo, Peggy. I do love to see what my members really look like. ANNIE AH CHAN. —The magpies must be great fun, Annie. . Your little essay was quite good, but the verse did not seem to rhyme very well. EDNA ANDERSON. —Your drawings were tiot very clear, Edna. However, I may be able to use one or two of them. DONALD CLIFF MACKENZIE.—You have certainly done well with your swimming. Donald. Stamp collecting Is a fine hobby. JOAN COLMAN.—Welcome as a new member of our Circles, Joan. 1 expect there Is a great deal to be done on such a large farm. How lovely to be able to ride Whenever you wish. E. M. TIMMS, —Your little tale about the mice was much too sad. Try to write about something more cheerful next time. JEAN OTTO-—Goodness, you have a number of pets. If you look in last week's Supplement you will see the system of mark cards, Jean. The drawing was not quite clear enough. WILLIAM SIMPSON.—"In the Grip of the Octopus" was quite a well-told tale, and will appear in print soon. JLETTERS AND ITEMS RECEIVED FROM: Edward Wright, Edward Farnsworth. Beatrice Timms, Jean Otto.
