SOME LETTERS

There’s a small person called Marcia. . . you’d love to know her. She lives at Martinborough. Here’s her letter: Dear Fairiel, I have read your stories, but I can’t do the crossword, so mummy helped me. I have a great big doll called Elizabeth. She was in her' pram one day and the. wind came and blew it off the verandah. She was badly hurt and has gone to Wellington to the doll doctor. From your loving, MARCIA. Marcia Nicolaus, Martinborough. (Hone Elizabeth is out of hospital bv now, little eight-year-old. You are not the only one who found Master Snubs a difficult fellow to deal with. Thank you so much for the lovely plate design! Did you copy it or make it up all by yourself?) Dear Fairiel, May I join the fairy ring and so become a fairy. I like painting, and look forward to some more drawings to paint. lam nine years old, and have to walk one and a half miles to school. Faithfully yours. MOIRA. Moira Jones, Randwick, Lower Hutt. (W’d love to have you. Moira mine, and you shall tell us all the other things you like to do! You’ve made the daintiest picture of “Peggy”!) • Dear Fairiel, I would very much like to belong to the Fairy Ring. I am nine years old and have got two brothers, and a funny little two-year-old sister whom I am going to tell you about. When I saw the little poem about the little girl who thought the water was too cold for her father to have a swim .at the bottom of the children’s page in this week’s “Times.” it reminded me of her. She is always wanting to go on to the beach to see the water, but when we take her down to see it she won’t go near it. And when we ask her the reason why, she savs she will get wet. I am sending the picture that was printed in the paper, which I have coloured. lours sincerely, CLAUDIA BROWNE 77,' Apu Lyall Bay, Wellington. {Claudia, the little sister sounds a pet of a thing 1 1 love to hear about her.)
