LETTERS FROM THE LITTLE FOLK
No letter to contain more than 350 words. U.Up:-We write for the benefit of other* not for ourselves. Dear Dot,—Since I last wrote to the page I have been to Dunedin for a holiday. 1 wnp there for a month, and had quite a good time, as I had a cousin just my own age to show ma round. My little brother and sister have started to ride a pony to school now, and they think it far better ,than walking; but I am a little bit sorry, as I used to drive to the school every night to bring them home, and now I am done out of my drive, which I used to enjoy. We are having lovely weather just now, only eome days rUwould be better if it was a little bit cooler. We have not had a good rain lately, and everything is getting so dry. With heaps of love to all my correspondents, not forgetting all the D.L.F. and yourself,—Yours truly, EDELWEISS (Clyde). Dear lsot,—We are having lovely weather hers at present—the very-kind that- the farmers like for the harvest. Most of . the farmers" abcut here have their crop harvested. Tito plums are ripe now, and so are Ihe blackberries. The school picnic was held here a week ago. It wa? a lovely day, so a gcod crowd was .present. The children got prizes, and there "were races and games. We sold, all our calves. The hens are starting to lay again. My father is busy ploughing the ground to sow barley. The flower gardens are looking nice at present. —Yours truly. WHITE PEARL (Ratanui). " Dear Dot,—The weather has ' been very dull here, but it cleared up to-day. The farmers all have their crops cut and stacked, and some of them hare been thrashed. I think we will soon be getting the mill. The school children go to cooking lessons every Wednesday, and last day we baked scones. On Saturday I made some, and they turned out better than I thought they would. I don't think there are any left now, as they were all so fond of them. Next cooking day we are going to make jam tarts. Love to all the Little Folk,—Yours truly, THE LITTLE WANDERER (Pakakaio). [I am delighted that the baking was such a success, dear.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —I am now 16, and still take lessons in music: Since I last wrote to you page Laura and I got a camera between us, and it is fine sport going out for a few snaps. I was at the beach to-day, and got well sunburnt. I felt too tired to go to church, so thought I would write letters. I did not go anywhere for a holiday at Christmas: I just stayed at home and had a good time. I tried to learn to ride, but could not get the horse often enough, so had to leave off. We have had a good crop of fruit this year. I like plums and apples best of all. Do you play the piano, Dot? Perhaps you could tell me some nice pieces. " The Rosary" is a very pretty piece, I think. We have a little foal, and it drinks out of a bucket just like a calf. Its mother died when it was about a week old. Love to all the D.L.F., not forgeting yourself,—Yours truly, NORA (Green Island). [I am not a pianist, Nora, so am not of much assistance in the matter of piano pieces.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —It has, been a wretched day to-day (Sunday), so, instead of going to church, I have been demolishing my unanswered letters. The weather here is very unsettled —one moment it is lovely and the" next it is raining. I think the clouds must mistake Takapau for a dry area. We are holding our annual ports in the Recreation Grounds on March C, so I only hope we will be favoured with a nice day. I went for a motor drive yesterday, buff as it blew great guns, I didn't enjoy myself at all. Last Sunday I spent with Brown Eyes, and enjoyed myself immensely, which we usually do when we get together. Well, Dot, as I have a headache, and writing isn't improving it, I will ring off. Love to Watchful and Rauparo,- and, of course, tons to yourself,—Ycurs truly, GWEN (Takapau). Dear Dot, —Since writing last I. have passed the. Sixth Standard, and am going to the Southland Technical College. I have just finished. reading the L.F. letters, and see that two of our comrades are going to fight for King and country. Now that most of the harvest is over we are having fine weather. Kind regards to all th-j L.F., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly PLOUGHBOY (Morton Mains). [I am very pleased to learn how well you Lave done, Plonghboy. I hope to hear of voii being very successful . at the college.— DOT.] Dear Dot, —I saw in the Witness that Mahone told you that I was out working. I hope she is not going to say everything I am doing. We are milking 43 cows for the factory where I am, and have to drive about two miles to the factory. Mahone has told you of the groat losses we have had since we last wrote; also about my brothers being at the front. Well, dear Dot, I can think of nothing else to write about, so will close. . Kind regards to all the D.L.F., not forgetting your own dear self, —Yours truly, SILENT THREAD (Waikaka). [lt is a pleasure to hear from you again, Silver Thread, and' receive your assurance that we are not entirely forgotten.—DOT.] » "Dear Dot, —I am very sorry I have not written for a while; but we have been very busy beginning school again. I know a few D.L.F. in Middlemarch. We are geting ready for our show now. My
sister (Dairymaid) has not written for a while, as the did not fcel like it after her leg hcanie sore. It is quite better now. Love to A Farmer's Girl and all the rest, — Your 3 trulv, THE FLOWER GIRL (Middlemarch). Dear Dot, —I am in Standard V now at school, so am gelling on not so badly. My father mot with a nasty rccident on Tuesday evening. He was coming round a cornet - , • when suddenly the wheel tame off. and ho fell out and cut himself very badly. Tba doctor put six stitches in the comer of his left eye. Ths eyelid is all smashed and his left cheek is all cut. He is up at Lumsden just now, so he will be near the doctor. We went up yesterday to see him, and he seemed to be getting on not so badly. We have fairly hard work to do- at Hchool now. Love to all my comrades, not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, LOVDY .'Balfour). [I am to sorry to learn of your father's accident, Lovdy, and hone he will soon be better.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —Since last writing I hav«i been in the hospital, and went under v ar. operation for appendicitis. I am home for a fortnight, and am going back to town to stay with my grandmother for tho winter. It is getting more l'.ke winter now. When I was in the hospital I read eight books. Some were " Ivy's DTeam," " Baby Bear's Picnic," " Seven Little Australians," and " Bertie's Chances" We have had very hot weather. Best leve to all the Little Folk, and not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, LADY BETSY (Livingstone). [I am very sorry to leari you have been ill, Lady Betsy. You will need to take things quietly for a little time now. —DOT.] Dear Dot, —May I join your happy band? I am in Stanlard VI at school, and hope to pass this year so as to leave at the end of the year. I have had my hair cut, and it is not so miich trouble to do every morning. We are having very hot weather here just now. I must say good-bye, Dot, as I am a new member, and have nothing to say. Love to Polly Perkins and all the other D.L.F., not forgetting youx own dear self, —Yours truly. TOMBOY II (Wairoa). [Unfortunately, another L.F. has chosen that N.D.P., dear, so if you object to Ihe numerals you may choose another.—DOT.] Dear- Dot, —I have a white rabbit with pink eyes, and it won't eat grass, so I have'to get clover for it. Our school picnic is on the ,28th of this month, and I hope it is a fine day. I have read five books lately, and they were all very nice. Nearly everybody is harvesting up this way. Best love to the L.F., not forgetting yourself,— xours truly, BRITISH. BOY, (Hakataramoa). [Your rabbit is very dainty in its tastes, British Boy.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —The crops are all cut down here, but they have not been led in yet. I know a few L.F. here. I am boarding with Sally Horner and Samson, and I like the situation very well. The house is on a hill, and we get the sea breeze. The blackberries are ripe now, and the birds are having a time of it. Coralie is working with me, so I have plenty of mates. Some of the apples &re not ripe yet, but most of them are. It will soon be winter-time again. It won't be so cold in the mill now since we have it lined with beaver board. Tlje Flower of Dumblane's Friend is away home again. There has been no rain lately, and nearly everything is short of water. Best love to Sally Horner, -Samson, Mischievous Jock, Coralie, and Iryoll, not forgetting yourself, —Yours truly, .NURSE ELLA'S MATE (Romahapa). Doar Dot, —I have . been reading the letters in the Witness, and thought that I would like to become one of the Little Fruk. I am 11 years old, and in Standard IV. The harvest i" nearly finished. Best love to all the D.L.F. and yourself,—Yours truly, CARNATION (Hakataramoa). [You are very welcome to join us. Carnation.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —Since last wilting we have shifted, and axe now residing at Outram. We own the store which was lately under the name of Lawson Bros. I am now attending the High School at Dunedin, and as we get a good many lessons to learn I get very little time to write. I often pass the Witness Office, and am very often tempted to call in; but time will not allow me. The weather has been fair lately, but I think a change may bn expected. I go in for a swim every' Sunday here, as the water has been exceedinglv warm compared with the general temperature. I have not seen many letters from Southland lately, but suppose as they are. the only ones I look forward to they seem very scarce Since coming here I have lost my badge, ii a / ] L, have an extra °ne, it comes in very well to fill up the vacancy left by its former occupant. Love to all the D.L.F., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, TANIWHA (Outram). [You have made quite a big move. Taniwha. and I hope you like your new abode.— Dear Dot, —The weather here has been very hot lately; at times it would nearly roast one. I spent my Christmas holidays up at Blackstone, where I enjoyed* myself thoroughly. Our school has started a t-ood while now. I will be going back in a fortnight. The farmers about here are very busy harvesting, as labour is scarce. On Sunday Golden View was at our place. She doesn't write to the page often, as they don't get the Witness. Well, Dot, I am looking forward to going to the Middlemarch Shov, as lr.st time I was going, but was too late for the train. Love to Lady of the Lake, Dyola, Lilac, Lavender, Periwinkle, Auntie's Companion, Miss Jasmine, Autumn Leaf, and The Shepherd Boy, not forgetting your dear self,—Yours truly, PICKADILLY (Ranfurly). [Certainly you can get a badge, dear, by enclosing stanvps.-—DOT.] Dear Dot, —The weather is very nice now. I had a good holiday, and I it very much. I am 11 years of" age, and am in Standard 11. My sister has left school now, and so I ride to school. I have a little baby sister, and we don't know what to call her. We hava a little .pup, raid it chases me about. My sister has a little kitten, and she loves it very much. Love to all the D.L.F., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, NUT BROWN MAID (Outram). [A name for the baby is a momentous question', dear. I hope you all decide on a nice nam,i for her.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —We are well advanced into another year, and I thought it high time to pen a few lines to the page. I have not much time just now, as I am working hard to try to pass Standard VI by next May. I think the holidays went so quickly. Why, they were all gone before I realised that .they had begun at all; but the consequenoe is, I 'think, that I am too fond of holidays. My brother, sister, and myself went up
Pine Hill yesterday-.and had a good time, byt wo left rather late, and on the way down I had lh<* misfortune to slip and sprain my ankle, and so I did not think that a very good ending to an enjoyable day. Well, dear Dot, I will have to conclude and attend to my lessons for to-morrow, or my teachers will be wanting to know tho reason why. With love foal! (ho L.P., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, A MITITAI MAIDEN (Dunedin). [You were unfortunate, dear; -but I hope the ankle is now quite better again.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —The farmers around here are all leading-in and cutting their crops. A Sister of a Soldier is my sister. She was at home for a while, but is away to work again. I am in the Sixth Standard, and, find it not very hard. Sadie-; is in the' same class, and she is top of our class. All the fruit is ripe or nearly so, and the . apples are very plentiful. Our school teacher is going away soon, and we will have a new one for a change. Rabbits, are very plentiful about this district, but I do not ■ go about catching them. Love to Sadie, Red Riding Hood, and all the other L.F., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, ANITA (Kennington). Dear Dot, —I am going to the Waronui miners' picnic on Saturday, and hope to have a good time. We have a fruit garden, with apple, pear, and plum trees, and the apples are as large as a breakfast cup. The head master at my old school is leaving, so they had a social for him on Friday, and had a big crowd to say good-bye to him. I often go fishing with my father and brothers, and enjoy it very much. I am going to Balclutha soon for a holiday to stay with my sister-in-law, and she says I can stay as long as I like. I have a brother in the Medical Corps who has been wounded, and is in -England. Best wishes to you and all the L.P.,—Yours truly, SWEET PEA (Milton). Dear Dot,—May 1 join your band of D.L.F. ? I am very fond of reading the letters, and think they are very interesting. I have left school, and have been working in the post office here, and like it very much. There are five boys and three girls working in this past office. We have been having lovely weather here, but there is a change to-day. We have a litle pug, and call him Barney. Kind regards the D.L.P., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, LORINE (Manaia). [You are very welcome to join us, Lorine. I have posted the badge to your address.— DOT.] Dear Dot, —The weather has been at its best the last three or four days, but before that there was a terrific gale, which caused a considerable amount of damage. My brother, who was wounded, is returning home shortly. I met two L.F. the other day from Ngahere—Olga Petrova and Fairy Whispers. There seem to be quite a number of D.L.P. on the West Coast now. There was an opera here last Wednesday called " The Gondoliers." I went, and enjoyed it very much. Boxo ar.d I have been down bathing a good deal lately at the beach; but the water is getting pretty, cold now, so I suppose we will have to give it up until the warm weather comes round again. My youngest brother is going into camp in May. Best love to Atea Roa, Lord Nelson, Edelweiss, Willochra, Olga Petrova, Fairy Whis-/ pars, Roseleaf, S'milor, Beulah, Eileen, Gloria's Mate, and yourself,—Yours truly, GLORIA (Greymouth). Dear Dot,—We have been having very nice weather, here lately, but - some rain would be very welcome, for we Jiav-s been carting water, as our tanks have been quite dry. Love to Mignonette. Iryell, Dad's Girl, Nurse Ella's Ma»e, and heaps to Yours truly, CORALIE (Romahapa)V Dear Dot, —It is wit' regret I pen these, last few lines to the d v old page. I have now been a member of ybux band for about 12 years, and must say I am very pleased I joined it, as reading th«j letters and corresponding with other members has afforded me man/ pleasant hours. Through the page I have made many friends I should never have seen only for it. Since I came to Invercargill I have met two of my correspondents. They do not get the Witness here, so I go to the reading rooms every week to see the L.P. as I couldn't miss them, ' although very few of the Old Writers' letters ev ;r anpe.i.r in print. I suppose their ?pare> time is taken up. with other work. The boys have gone to /fight and the girls are making garments for their comfort. I see another of our members has given his life for his country; also Somebody's Comrade has been wounded, but I have not heard -any paiiiculars as to what his wounds r.re. Little Boy arrived home a few weeks ago, but as he was only on three weeks' furlough, he is away back to camp i again. I had the pleasure of seeing hinu while he was in town. I believe they ga.ve him a very hearty welcome home at Niagara, which he deserved. I was at a dance in town here last night, and had a really good iime. It was the brcak-un of tho Territorials' annual camp. My two brothers were in camp, and I Was down .seeing them off bom© this afternoon. It is hot down here just now. A girl' friend and I cycled over to Otatara the other evening to a lecture, and I never felt soi hot in all my life. Wishing the page every success, and love to all, —Yours truly, BLACK PANSY (Invercargill). [One cannot hold time back, Black Pansy, so we can only look forward to the pleasure of hr-aring from you during O.W. Week.— DOT.] Dear Dot, —We are having very hot weather here. The school garden is looking very nice, and tho flowers are all coming out in bloom. Oar fruit is getting ripe now. The plums were ripe, and the flies str..r!ed to eat them, so my mother had to pick them, and she made them into jam. I did. not get away for my Christmas holidays because mv mother and i two of my sisters and one brother were away. In my holidays I went to meet the 5 o'clock train. Our friend was ira staying with us at Christmas time, and also one of my cousins, and an uncle, too. We are milking only one cow now. I am very busy just now helping my brother to cut cocksfoot. Mv sister and I thinned the turnips this year, and it is not much of a game. Best love to ell the D.L.F. and also yourself,—Yours truly, SOLDIER'S BELL (Orawia). [I should not imagine thinning turnips to be altogether a labour of love; but it is a necessary business, and one ius+ has to take the bad with the good.—DOT.] Dear Dot, —Since I last wrote I have been away staying with a friend of ours for a few days, and enjoyed myself very much. My sister who was out working is now home again. During the Christmas holidays my mother went to Lumsden and Waikaia for a holiday, and while she was away Soldier's Bell and I did the work between its. The farmers around- here are very busy cutting their crops. We cut our crop over a week ago, and my mother, brother, and I went out stocking. I like stooking, but it is not "nice these hot days out in the fields. I suppose at the beeinning of next week we will be stacking. We are at present hav-
ing very warm weather. We haven't seen rain for over a week, and if we don't get, rain soon the tanks will all be dry. My brother has been very busy thrashing cocksfoot. My eldest sister went to the Caves loan Sunday with some friends of hers, and they had a really good time, she said. Things are 'pretty quiet here just now. Love to all tho D.L.F.,—Yours truly, BELGIUM GIRL (Orawia). Dear Dot,—My mother is not at all well. She went to the doctor, and he said she was to do no work at all, so I am housekeeper. She has to go and see him again on Thursday. " I hope ehe gets better soon. The harvest is in full swing about here. AH the farmers are busy leading-in. All our crop is led in, and dad and my eldest brother are helping the farmers around here now, as it is almost impossible to hire men since the war. Two of my cousins have made the supreme sacrifice. Our school picnic was held last month, and was a great success. There were some patriotic sports held at Tokanui, five miles' distant from where we live. ,The proceeds went to the Y.M.C.A. and other patriotio funds. — Yours truly, . ROID (Quarry Hills). [I am so sorry to learn, of your mother's indisposition, Roid, but am sure you are quite a successful housekeeper. —DOT.] Dear Dot,—On February 22 The "Wild Blue pansy, her brother, sister, and myself went to the Tokanui sports. It was a lovely day, and as that, was my first visit to Tokanui, I quite enjoyed myself. I kept a lookout for some L.F. badges, but didn't- see any. I saw only four L.F. that I know of, and they were William the Conqueror, Niagara Larrikin, Wild Blue Pansy, and, I think, Rose of Lucerne was there; also Sir Tom. I had a letter from my sister (Clover Leaf) last night, and ehe was saying that our Bister (Somebody's Lover) is to be out of the Riverton Hospital to-day. She ha® been very ill". Well, Dot. I see Postman Henry has joined the Colours at last, which he has so long wished to do. I had a card from him last week. Love to Dolly Varden, Gwen, Brown Eyes 11, Hermit Crab, Pussy, Tricky, A Lonely Soldier, Leola, Jim, Salvador, A Shining Sunbeam, Waggoner, Billy the Barber, Postman Henry, Rustic, Manager, Mihi Moana, Dolly Dinks, Sir Tom, and Buffalo Bill,—Yours truly, MAMARU'S COUSIN. [I have the name correctly, but not the rank, dear, and I thank you for sending it. The photos will be in the first opportunity now, so as soon as it is -copied I will return. —DOT.] Dear Dot, —The harvest is now over here, but we will be getting the mill soon, and it wil ! be another busy time. We had food crops of oats and turnips. We have ipped the , sheep. Yesterday was a good day, but it-was very dull to-day. The saleyards at Thornbury_ are nearly finished. A few of the farmers "about here have finished thrashing their oats. Love to all the L.F., liot forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, JACK THE GIANT-KILLER (Thornbnry). [lt must be a great satisfaction to get the harvesting done, Jack, as I should think it quite an anxious and strenuous time.— DOT. Dear Dot, —I was not away for a holiday at Christmas. We are harvesting at home just now. Men are fairly scarce in this district, so wo are getting, our neighbour to help us, and than wo will help him. It is a faster? way than one man trying to do the work by himself. Most of the crops in this district were shaken with the wind. There were two awful winds the week that most of the farmers were cutting their crops. There is a great demonstration in Wyndh.am on Gala Day in aid of the Y.M.C.A. It is to be on March 8. There will be a grea-; crowd there that day, as all in our district are going, and I think a great many from, other districts. The people in our district are going to have a picnic on the 19th, and what money is left" over after buying the prizes is going to be given to the Y.M.C.A. The L.F. will be sorry Postman Henry has reached the retiring age, as he was liked by all the L.F. I have a third brother classed C2. Love to all the L.F., not forgetting yourself,—Yours truly, PERPETUAL WANDERER (Mimihau). Dear Dot, —Everybody is busy harvesting about here. Wo haven't been having very nice weather lately—it has been so windy. My mate and I went to the river one Sunday and got wet. I have read a few boobs lately—" Countess Daphne," " Love Decides,' '"The Young Wife," and "The Masked Bridal." We are having- a jumble sale here on March 15 for the Red Triangle Day appeal, so it is something to look forward to. I was in Oamaru last Saturday, and had a lovely time. A Caithness'Lass is away from home just now, and won't have much time to write: I cycled about four miles on Thursday to see my sister, and got home again about 6 o'clock. Love to A Little Girl from Nowhere, A Caiihn<*i3 Lass, Father's Help, Tricky, and the rest of the L.F., yourself included, —Yours truly, IRISH COLLEEN (Herbert). Dear Dot, —'Our school had a picnic last Friday, and I think all present. en joyed themselves very much. We had the picnic by the river not far from our heme. I won a tumbler and a ribbon. I have a sister Writing to the pag3, also a cousin at Tahakopa. I go to school with Billy Oakland nearly every morning. Wa have finished our harvesting all but a little bi;. My sister, who stays in town, is home to-night. I have not learnt my lessons yet. "With kind regards to Flag Lily, Billy Oakland, and all the other D.L.F., not forgetting yourself,— Yours truly, POSTMAN BILL (Hedgehope). Dear Dot, —My sister is writing to the page to-night for the first time. Dad's Girl is staying here just now, but she is going away to-morrow. There were four L.F. playing cards last niprht—Dad's Girl, The Jockev, Sylvan, and myself. There are two more L.F. working at the same place as I am— Nurse Ella's Mate and Pawny Bill. The weather is still very dry. Our tanks aa-e quite empty, and we still have to cart all our water "Well, Dot, there is no more news this time, so I think I will stop. Love to Iryell, Nurse Ella's Mate, The Little Torment, Pawny Bill, Mignonette, Dorothea Mac, W. S. 8., and heaps to Yours truly, CORALIE (Romahapa). [I had not your address by me when I posted your badge, dear, so enclosed it with Nurse Ella's Mate's, and I trust you received it safely.—DOT.] Dear Dot.—May I join your happy baud of Little Folk? I am I3J years of age, and left echool last year after passing the Sixth Standard. I know several D.L.F., and my •mate (Orlin), having begun to write to the page, I thought I would like to write, too. I came home from Riverton last Sunday after spending a holiday ther>. "We were not staying in the township, but were round at The Rocks, abou* three miles away. I was not keeping well, so tho doctor ordered my mother to take me there. Wo had a lovely time- bathing, and I am much better now. The gardens are looking lovely
about here just now, but sometimes when the wind get 3 up during the night it blows the flowers about until they are torn up by the roots. With love to Orlin, Petunia, and all tho other D.L.F., not forgetting yourself, —Yours truly, SNOWFLAKES (Ryal Bush). [I am very pleased to have you join us, dear.

It is a pleasure to know you are all so interested in the page. —-DOT.] Dear Dot, —I am staying up at Coralie's place, and as this is my last night here we thought we would writ* you a few lines. We have persuaded one' of her, sisters to join your happy band—namely. Sylvan. It has been dreadfully hot these last two or three days, and everything is drying up for the want of rain. I started my music about three weeks ago after two months' holiday. We were over a picnic held at Katea about a month ago. Sylvan came down the day before and went over with va. It was not a very nice day; but we enjoyed ourfielves all the sama. The Jockey is Coralie's and Sylvan's brother, and he is such a hardcase.
