BETWEEN OURSELVES.

LITTLE MESSAGES FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.

Mary Verity, Cave: Such a wee letter in such a wee envelope from this wee Circlian of mine. Yes, Mary, you may have “Fairy Gallop” for your penname. When I was a very small person I used to have “Fairy Gallops” just exactly the same as yours.—P.P. “Little Red Riding Hood,” Kakapuaka: I was so pleased to get a neatly wirtten letter from this far-away Circlian of mine. Your bazaar must have been a great success. I hope you had a happy Easter. You must tell me all about it next time you write.—P.P.

Valerie Hayes, Timaru: You may have “Golden Ray” for your pen-name, Valerie. I am glad you enjoy reading our Circlians’ letters. When you are a bigger Circlian I am sure your letters will find a place in Our Page on Letter Day, too.—P.P. “Miss Dyola,” Pareora: Such a nicely written letter from Miss Dyola. I was sorry to hear about your operation, dear, and hope you are quite better again now. Did you have a jolly Easter at Kingsdown? I am sure you enjoyed “Disraeli.” It was a splendid picture. Y'our “Barrow Fair” must have been a great success.—P.P.

“Water Sprite,” Timaru: I hope this little Circlian with the pretty name is quite better again now. Thank you for suggesting those names. We must hdve another word-building competition sometime. Composition was one of my favourite subjects, too, when I was at school.—P.P.

“Squib,” Timaru: Your pussy has a nice name, Squib. Christopher Robin is as naughty as ever, and gets up to all kinds of mischief with his little new playmate. Write again soon, won’t you.—P.P.

“Snowdrop Fairy,” Fairview: I hope your little schoolmate will soon be better again, Snowdrop Fairy. I am glad your are writing for me.—P.P. “‘Silver Tip,” Timaru: “As your letter exceeds the word limit by such a little bit, and I know you will never do it again, I am giving it a place in Our Page. It is very interesting, and you must tell me more about your holiday next time you write. Your poem is just not quite good enough, but keep on with your Verse-Making, won't you. —P.P.
