BETWEEN OURSELVES.

LITTLE MESSAGES FOR LITTLE PEOPLE. Stella Munting, Tasmania: The biggest of welcomes to this new far-away Circlian. I enjoyed reading your verses, and will print them early next year. I already have a “Rosebud” Circlian, Stella, so what about calling yourself “Amy Johnson?” —Or would you sooner have “Sea Queen” for your pen-name? I will ask our Circlians to write to you.—P.P. “Alice in Wonderland,” Timaru: Such a neatly written letter from my Alice in Wonderland, and the prettiest of Scrap-Books for our Ship, too. Didn’t you love the Exhibition of Christmas Ship Toys? Thanks for your good wishes, dear. —P.P. Deborah Kelly, Washdyke: The very biggest welcome to this new Circlian of mine. Your wee letter was nicely written, Deborah. I have been for two rides in an aeroplane, and it is wonder-* ful fun. Would you like to have “Green Elf” or “Red Pixie” for your pen-name ?—P.P. “Little Miss Muffet,” Hilton: Thank you for your good wishes, Little Miss Muffet. Your Maori Legend is nicely written, but is just not quite good enough to find a place in Our Page. A happy New Year to you, dear.—P.P. “Pixie Bell,” Timaru: Ever so many thanks for the photo of you and your little brother, Pixie Bell. You do look a pair of nice, smiling little people. I hope Father Christmas brought you all the things you wanted. Thank you for your good wishes. —P.P. “Flower Princess,” Pleasant Point: 3 am glad you like your new pen-name dear. “The Harvest” is a nice wee poem, but is not quite good enough to find a place in our Page.—P.P. Dorothy Bennett, Pareora East: 1 am glad you like your calendar, Dorothy. Yes, every Circlian receives one. I already have a “Robin Red Breast” in my Circle, so would you like to have “Blue Brownie” or “Silver Horseshoe” for your Pen-name?—P.P. “Fairy Blue Eyes,” Temuka: I was pleased to get a wee letter and story from Fairy Elue Eyes. Your story was very nice, dear, but was just not quite good enough to be printed. I am glad you like your calendar. —P.P. Arthur Turner. Geraldine: Thank you for your good wishes, Arthur. I already have a “Santa Claus” in my Circle, so would you like to have “Black Feather” for your pen-name?—P.P. “Big Brown Eyes,” Temuka: A ly written letter from Big Brown Eyes. You and Fairy Blue Eyes both did well at school, and I will ask our Circlians to write to you.—P.P. Basil King, Temuka: A big welcome to this little new Circlian. Would you like to have “Sea Prince” or “Blue Robin” for your pen-name, Basil?— P.P. “Farmer’s Daughter,” Waitohi: A neat wee letter from Farmer’s Daughter. Those Tanks are most orig- 1 inal, and if you tell me next year exactly how they are made, I will be able to tell the Circlians. —P.P. “Dancing Dolly,” Fairton: Such a vivid letter from Dancing Dolly, and' quite a long one, too. Thank you for your good wishes. A happy holiday to you all. —P.P. “Mummie’s Helper,” Kakahu: Your big black furry rabbit was a beauty, Mummie’s Helper, and I know some wee sick-a-bed will love him. Your nice little* poem, “The Doll’s House,” just failed to find a place in our Page, and I hope you will make some more verses for me next year. Thanks for your good wishes, dear. —P.P. “Merry Maiden,” Timaru: I am pleased you like your new pen-name, dear. You received some lovely birthday presents, and I am so glad Mother gave you a Circle Badge. Your ScrapBook was very nice.—P.P. “Merry Mischief.” Rangitata Island: I am sure your Carnival was a great success, Merry Mischief. Thank you for sending me a copy of the programme. Your crazy garden must be very bright and pretty, and I am sure your very own garden is a nice, useful one. You have quite a large family of dolls. —P.P. “Joybird,” Timaru Public Hospital: Your “Story of a Miser” is nicely written, Joybird, but is not quite good enough to find a place in our Page. Try again, though, won’t you, dear.— P.P. “Lindy.” Timaru: I enjoyed reading your rhyme letter, Lindy, although it was a long time before I received it.—P.P. “Winnie the Pooh,” Morven: Thank you for the jumbled names, Winnie the Pooh. Did you win any races at yoiir school picnic? —P.P. “Wonder Winge,” Timaru: I am glad you liked your calendar so much, Wonder Wings. Your School Flower Show and Gala must have been a great success. Thank you for your good wishes. —P.P. “M'oowani,” Waimate: I was pleased 1o hear from this Circlian of mine again, and liked his Christmas Ship verses and jolly Scrap-Book.

Give Tim a pat from me. lam sure he is a beauty, and hope you wull soon be able to ride him.—P.P. “Pussy Willow,” Timaru: A nice little letter and poem from my Pussy Willow Circlian. Bits of “Christmas” are quite well written, but your poem is just not good enough to win a Merit Card. I hope you will have a jolly holiday.—P.P. “Bellbird.” Timaru: It was a splendid idea making that nice hot-water bottle cover for our Ship, Bellbird, and I have sent it to one of our sick Circlians. Your little letter was neatly written. —P.P. “Flower of the Forest,” Timaru: Thank you for sending me that nice wee poem, Flower of the Forest. A happy holiday, dear. —P.P.
