Keitha Waring, Suva:—A big welcome to our Circle, Keitha. I am so glad you and your schoolmates have become Members, and will enjoy reading all you tell me about Fiji. I would love to see that Peter Pan Statue in the Gardens.

Dorothy Braddiclj, Fairlie: A neatly written little letter from you, Dorothy. I think bantam chickens are the dearest little things. Bantam hens make splendid mothers, too. How is Heather, and what do you call your lambs? Pearl Pardoe, Suva:—The biggest of welcomes to you, Pearl. I hope you will write again soon and tell me the date of your birthday. Margaret, Hunter:—Your story was splendid, Margaret, but your poem was not quite as good as others you have sent me. Shona Alien, Peel Forest:—l enjoyed reading about your pet kea, Shona, and liked your neat little letter, too.

Neroli Gillingham, Cave: —A well planned picture, Neroli, but just not quite good enough to win a Merit Card.

Gerald Baker, Cave:—l enjoyed reading your story, Gerald. How glad Biggy would be that Father saved her kittens. I think Nixie, Pixie and Puck were good names for them, and must suggest them as names for Circlians’ kittens sometime. I am glad your scrapbook is getting on so well, and am looking forward to seeing it when It is finished.

Rosemary Wooley, Suva: —A very big welcome to you, Rosemary. I liked the little picture you made for me.

Shirley Howe, Timaru:—l liked the drawing of your pet rabbits, Shirley. I suppose you are quite a good little tennis player by now, my dear.

Selwyn Dale, Maungati:—l liked your picture of “Socks” very much indeed, Selwyn, and hope you are planning a drawing for our Adventure Number.

Sara Celia Lambert, Suva:—A big welcome to you, too, Sara. I hope you will still write to me when you go to America, my dear. Will you tell me how old you are and the date of your birthday? Margaret McCunn, Temuka:— Your drawing was well done, Margaret, but the mountain stream looked more effective than the cattle, and took up too much of your picture. I hope you will send a picture for our next Special Number. Betty Andrew, Temuka:—l liked your story about your pet hedgehog, Betty, and enjoyed reading your neat wee letter. I am sure your garden is looking very gay just now. Jeanette Huleh, Suva:— A big welcome to our Circle, Jeanette. “Peter Pan and Wendy” Is a delightful story, isn’t it. I would like you to tell me the date of your birthday next time you write. Susan Ellis, Suva:—A big welcome to you, Susan. I would like to see one of those big plantations of sugar-cane. Write again soon, won’t you.

Naomi Kellie, Timaru:—Excellent contributions, Naomi dear. You are a real little doggie lover, aren’t you? Gladys Greene, Kimbell:—l liked the quaint wee poem about “Montague Michael,” Gladys, and the picture you made of him. How is Bonzo? I have made a note of your new address.

Ngaire Best, Timaru:—“Good Old Bob” was a very nicely written little story, Ngaire. I wonder if you have had a bathe yet this season. Barbara Corbett, Suva:—The biggest of welcomes to you, Barbara. I hope you will tell me more about the Fijians and their customs next time you write.

Diana Phelps, Suva:—A big welcome to this far-away Clrclian. Your letter was very neat, Diana, and I hope you will write again soon.

Mary Greene, Morven:— Your contributions were all nicely written, Mary, and I enjoyed reading them. It would be interesting to have such a far-away pen-friend. Did I alter your address by mistake, or have you moved to Kimbell?

What do you call your pet lambs, Eunice? You and Shirley will look very gay in your new dresses.

Mary Crowe, Morven:— I liked your poem about your pony, Mary, but your drawing was not quite good enough to win a Merit Card. Phyllis Rapley, Temuka:—Good contributions from you, Phyllis. Your drawing very nearly found a place in our Paper, but it was just not quite good enough. Linda Rapley, Temuka:—l liked your drawing of Jumbo, Linda, and he very nearly found a corner In our Paper. Your little poem was nicely written, my dear. Pauline Smith, Pleasant Point:— I enjoyed reading the happy little Spring poem you sent me, Pauline. Spring is a lovely, happy time, isn’t it. Betty Kimber, Temuka:—A big welcome to our Circle, Betty. Thanks for those jolly riddles. I think they have already appeared in our Paper, though, my dear. I would like you to become one of my Little Artists, and hope you will send me a drawing for our next Special Number. You are doing very well indeed in your exams. Bob Green, Tycho:—An interesting letter from you, Bob. I did not go over the “Port Jackson,” but am sure she is a fine boat. I am glad you like “Ivanhoe,” and am also glad you are making a scrap-book. Has “Cloud Buster” flown away yet Your dog story certainly was a pathetic one. Pauline Mary Whyte, Ashwick Flat:—Your Puppy poem was very good indeed, Pauline, and I hope you will make some more verses for me soon. I liked your drawing and riddles. I hope you didn’t catch the measles, my dear. Is Bernie better?

You have given your calf and cows good names, Kathleen. lam sorry Goblin Measles caught you, too, and hope you are quite better again now. Mary Hopkins, Winchester: A big welcome to our Circle, Mary. I will try to find a corner for the Circle Rules next Saturday, my dear. You must be a clever little person to make up plays. Thank you, but I do not think those patterns would be any use just now. lan Mattingley, Timaru: I was pleased to hear from you again, lan. I liked your poem, but it is not quite good enough to win a Merit Card. What a shame little Jack and Jill both died. It is certainly no wonder Smut is fat! I wonder if you have a name for your goldfish. Mary Duran, Suva:—A warm welcome to you, too, Mary. I was very interested in those Fijian words, hope you will tell me some next time you write.
