AWAITING a story

Bells rang in Happy Town when we found that your father was better, Jean. Please give him best wishes from everyone. Irene Better will find your congratulations and Xola Craig, Gay du Faur and Phyllis Miller, your love. Gloria and her monkey are deeply interested in Happy Town, Jean. One day we think this little girl will be able to walk again. Daisy Smith, Morrinsville: A new baby sister, Daisy? I think we are all as excited as you are. The Joyshop man has just run in to the Joyshop to make her an entirely new joy. and the Doorkeeper sends a merry jingle of his keys. What colour are her eyes, and has she hands like little pink rose leaves? Mona McCailum, Te Awamutu: Many thanks for the fine photographs of you and your cat, Mona. Tour snow-white pussy and Xola Craig's cat, Buz, would make a fine pair. Buz is jet black. Best love from all your friends in Happy Town.

Annie Archer, Auckland: Yes, the story picture would look very pretty painted, Annie. Perhaps you would like to colour in those quaint little elves. Xo, I have not yet visited that refrigerator, but perhaps I may peep in on it some fine day in summer. Many thanks for the joke and much love to this very good scribe Jack Lydster, Takapuna: We were all so glad to hear from this Sunbeam again, and to find that he is feeling better. If vou have to go into hospital, Jack, the Little Thought will visit you every day. Thank you very much for the poem and the joke, and much love from the Dawn Lady and all the Happy Town people. Leslie Graham, Devonport: Here you are in Happy Town, Leslie. Did you notice the houses of the Pixie Postmen as vou came down Tiptoe Street? I hope I shall have plenty of letters from my new Devonport Sunbeam. Rive Mackie. Devonport: A butterfly

flew in just now, and said, “Now, Dawn Lady, don't forget a message for Rive He has just sent you his happiest srnile and thinks he will soon be strong again. I have some narcissi in your vase to- j dav. Rive, and they smell so sweet. Did

you see the Little Thought peeping in at you this morning

Doris Lydster, Takapuna: Do you peer through the window in search of the stars on a cloudy night, Doris? Many thanks for the dainty little poem. Ailsa Stuart, Cambridge: That wedding cake must look very beautiful, Ailsa, and I should like to see the kewpies that are mounting guard. Yes, I can imagine that rush for the Happy Town page. It must be very exciting. Eileen Ewing, Auckland: So you have been in Wellington for three months, Eileen? I hope you are perfectly strong again. If I had three kittens like yours I should call them Mischief, Topsy and Squeak. I knew a small boy once who called his kittens Reginald, Percival and Algernon, but they never answered to their names very well. Norman LydsteE Takapuna: A little house full of secrets, Xorman? The proper place for it is in Happy Town. Perhaps you would like to build one, some day. Much love to this young man. Frances Johnson, Onehunga: Thank you for your quaint little story, Frances. The Dawn Lady is always pleased to receive entries from the wee ones. I hope you will soon write to me again. David Collingwood, Wanganui: Do fairies still live in mushroom houses in Wanganui, David I hope you will write me a story about the little men painting the poppies. My best love to David and little sister.
