LETTERS
Dear Fairiel.—l am glad you have room for me in your ring. I will tell you about my pets. I had a lamb called Billy—if I called him he would come to me even out of a mob of sheep. But one dav while I was at school Dad sold him. I was very sorry, but I was glad to hear that he was the be9t lamb sold that year. I have also had a wild duck, but that died because I fed it too much. Dad did not tell me until it died. I will tell you lots more next week. I will close now with good wishes to yoair ring.—Yours truly, JOYCE. Joyce Luttrell, Wairongomai School, Featherston. Dear Fairiel, —So glad to see you again. Fairiel, as I was not one cf the elves for last week, but never mind I shall have a jolly good time this week. I. am very sorry for not writing last week, as I could not get a paper, but I sat on the rug, and did my share as well as T could. What dc you think I di'd. dear Fairiel ? I took a sheet of paper and a pencil and start, ed to make a' crossword puzzle for our : “Fairy Ring.” Not only that, but I also made up a few “jumbles” as you call them, and I am sending them with my letter. I hope this will find a little fun for my other little companions. I have done the best I can do, dear Fairiel, so I must close now as the clock is striking eight, and I have to go to sleep, and dream all about the little wee elves, and\ something more to tell next week. Good-bye, Fairiel, and I hope to see yon in mv little fairy ring to-night.— Your little elf. JOHN (Jack). John Walker, 23. Fernhill terrace, Wadestown.
