INQUIRY COLUMN.

Abigail Clarkson. —You should have saved the competition coupons, Abigail, not the others. Did you try the solutions? Mai Bradley. —Very sorry that even that one “Star” is not to be had. There has been such a demand that all back numbers are quite sold out. Phyllis Hartigan. —They are all sold out now, Phyllis, but perhaps you have managed to get them elsewhere. Colin Brown.— -Regret that there are no more back copies to be had, Cohn. Very sorry. C. Hulston. —Very hard luck, but the one “Star” you want is not to be obtained. Every one has been bought up. Mabel A’Court. —The “Star” you want, Mabel, is out of print. So sorry, still that does not prevent you from entering. Des. Power. —l am afraid you are too late now. It is the large coupons that are necessary for the competition, not the membership ones. Willie Wilson. —Did you manage to get the extra paper? I hope so. If not, just send the coupons in that j-ou have. Maurice Beauchamp, —Have you managed to fit all the bodies up with heads, Maurice? Try again.

LETTERS FROM STARLAND

Dear Evangeline— Ever since you started the “Shooting Star” family I have been wishing that I could become a member of it. May I become one, please? I love reading the Children’s Page every Wednesday and Saturday night. lam busy at present working for a bazaar which I am having in aid of the Jubilee Blind Institute in Auckland. lam having it on Saturday next. I enjoy solving the competition of the animals’ heads and bodies. My favourite hobby now is collecting scenery post cards or photos. I have one cat and a little brown pup. Do you know ®f any lonely Star to whom. I could write or whom, perhaps, I could meet? Love to you and all the Stars from Phyllis Money. Dear Evangeline— Just a few lines telling you the news.' lam very interested in your letters because one can learn so much from them. Before I go any further I must reply to your question. The subject I chose for my composition was “The Adventures of a Penny. I should love to know a lot about Dawn and Helen, and I should very much like to go to the party. I have chosen “Snowdrop” for my name —Molly Stokes.
