THE WENDY HUT

FROM WENDY'S ARMCHAIR.

“Give us another long story, please Wendy! I opened letter after letter from members of my Clan, and found the same request in each! So I called Tink, and she called Billikins, and we sat down to cogitate. Know what “cogitate” means, children? It means, according to the wise folk who make dictionaries, “To think, to reflect, to meditate.” We therefore thought, reflected and meditated. And the result of all the thought, reflection and meditation was this story about life in a Girls’ School.

I hope you’ll enjoy it. It was great fun making it up, because Tink insisted on adding little ‘‘touches” here and there, and the Billikins “furbished it up generally”—or he thinks he did! But you’ve got to do a little work this week! It’s getting near Christmas, you know, and you don’t want Christmas to arrive and find you without a single present to send to your friends, do you? The Hut Carpenter has obligingly turned his attention to calendars —and extraordinarily nice calendars they are —and so I asked him to tell you how to make them. Do try —they’re great fun, and your chums will be ’normously pleased to receive them on Christmas morning. Bestest love to all my clan, Wendy.
