Pear Chickadee*,— You do love! to be busy, don’t, you? For the more I suggest you should do, th'e more you want to do. Doing nothing at all is the miserablest thing on earth. That word “miserablest” doesn’t look quite right, but my mind’s to o full of “pet” stories to tbink. There were lots, and most of them were good, but two little nine-year-olds came equal for the prize—GWEN GARNER, Porirua, and CHARLES KEAY, Wellington. The two next best people were Thelma Killip, Martinborough, and Mollie'Winter, Okehu; and their stories, too, - will be in, the. Ring in turn. Then there were the pictures, of course —some no neat, some so dainty. O, it’s a hard job this choosing. But at last we’ve discovered the very best. First, TERRENCE WILLIAMS,': Pongaroa; second, MOLLIE MARRIS. Congratulations from us all, little winners! Now, here’s a competition that will keep you busy till the very last minute. Did you ever guess how many tiny words were hidden in a big one? Well, here’s just a happy everyday one— PLAYMATES. See how many you can find. It’s a very exciting hunt, and the two who discover most get prizes. So, to work again my Merrymakers! Yours, / FAIRIEL.
