WENDY HUT

Dear Wendy,—This week I am going to tell you about the scenic glories of New Zealand. Most visitors are charmed by the variety of natural scenery which is not' found in any other country. Our lake scenery is as grand *s that of Switzerland, and our alpine district *n the South Island contains glaciers larger than any others besides the Himalayas. In the North Island there are hot springs, geysers, rivers that piay hide and seek, natuml rock bridges, and fairy palaces dimly lit by tfow-worms. In the famous Waitemo and Enakuri Caves. the glistening stalacites and stalagmites take marvellous forms making these the most remarkable underground limestone chambers in the world. In the South Island we have wonderful cold lakes set ameag forest-clad mountains whose peaks are always covered with snow, and water-falls that leap over the mountain-sides with a deafening roar. These are wild and rugged districts ".-here the moo-e and wapiti have their haunt.-. King of all New Zealand mountains is Mount Cook, known to the Maoris as Aoran<i. “The Sky Piercer.” Among the Southern Alps there are sixteen peaks more than 10,000 feet above sea level. Weil. Wendy, would you believe that New Zealand, although only a little larger than Great Britain, has so many forms of natural beauty that is not found in any other country. To write all I know about New Zealand scenery would take too much space so I will write the rest another time. With love from “SALLY HORNER." Wavcr-

Yes, New Zealand is a wonderful country tor its scenic beauties, which are unsurpassed by any other country. As New Zealanders we should be proud of our beautiful country.— Wendy.

Dear Wendy.—Thanks very much for the mark you gave me. I have counted them all up and I have five. Doesn’t “Apple Blossom” Write interesting letters. I enjoyed reading how rocking horses are made. I used to have one, but it is broken now. Rocking horses are lovely toys for little children to play with. This week I will tell you how I keep my doll. I have a red satin dress on her at present because I always keep it on her on Sundays. But on Mondays I put on her pink silk, with silk lace on the sleeves, and on the neck. On Tuesday morning I put on her white silk with a white collar and she wears that on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Could you give one of my dolls a name. I am sending in a piece of poetry, with love.—From “MOUNTAIN FAIRY.” Wanganui. Yes, rocking horses are lovely toys for children. You must enjoy dressing up your dolls. Will Katie do as a name for your doll. Thank you for the poetry. —Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—l went out yesterday with my sister and we saw a tame opossum. It is the first one I have seen. I think she is such K queer little animal. I was told that when she is given a slice of bread and butter she feicks it up in her paws and eats it just as we would do. I was told she hangs by her tail, too. I should think she would fail. Every morning when I go to school I see a kingfisher. He is always sitting on the same post. He flies away when I get near him. I love to see his feathers flash in the sun. I think he is a beautiful bird. Our bush' is lovei. just now. Many of the trees are covered wiu.' parsonsia and it is in flower. It has a lovely scent. I must close now, with love.—From “PRIMULA,” Moumahaki.

Opossums are queer animals. I have often seen them in the trees in the bush. Isn’t the kingfisher a lovely coloured bird. Did you notice his long beak. Ha uses it for catchiug fish.—Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—Yesterday our next door neighbour took us for a lovely drive in their motor-car. First of all we went out Calico IJne arid passed Nga-Tawa SchooL After going on a good distance we turned to the left. We then passed the cemetery, and after going on for a long while, we again turned to the left. Then came the prettiest sight of all. The first part of the way was quite a different style of country to this. There was mostly long stretches of green fields, little lambs I risking about the paddocks, cows grazing lazily in the fields, and horses standing in the shade of the willows, but the second part was most beautifuL Wc went up a big hill and uown another, and at the bottom of the second hill there were weeping wliiows hanging over from each side of the road, making a little archway for us to pass through. I noticed several of these. Presently we came to a pretty little avenue of ferns and weeping willows. It would make a lovely place for a picnic. The country I am describing to you now, is named Fern Flats, and 1 think it is well named too, because there are hundreds of pretty ferns out there. It became much prettier after a while because mere were numbers of bushes of golden broom, and behind that was a hedge of white hawthorn. The cabbage trees were coming out into flower too, and much to my surprise, there were numbers of little apple trees flowering beside the road, and you very seldom see them on the roadside. As we drove along we had the sweet scent of the hawthorn with us, and that our drive much more pleasant. All too so«i we cazne out on the main road Iron} Bonny Glen, and very soon we were home agtAi, just in time for tea. Well, Wendy, as you told us not to make our letters too long, 1 will close with love to all. From your loving Wendyite, “MOSS ROSE,” Marton.

What an enjoyable drive you had. “Moss Rose.” I should like to have been with you. The country is beautiful at this time of the year.—W endy.

Dear Wendy.—l was very pleased to see my letter in the paper or. Saturday. Next month the Standard VI children are going to the Avenue School to go up for their proficiency hnd I hope we will ail get it. If we stand on the top uf our highest hill we can see tn« Tastnan Sea on one ►ide. and away to the north-west we can see Mount Egmont and Mount Ruapehu ; that is. if it is a very clear day. There Is a good deal of bush in ou, place and it is very pretty just now, because the clematis, which grows and twines round the other trees, is out in flowerX The little creamy flowers have a very nice tcent. Well, dear Wendy. I must close now, with love.— From “SALLY LOO.” Kaitoke.

I too, hope all of your class will be successful. You must have a beautiful panorama from the hili. The mountains look fine, don’t they ?—W endy.

Dear Wendy.—l am afraid that you won’t receive very neat writing from me this week as I .have a very painful arm. It was caused through a boil coming in the armpit. and it got that bad that mum took me into the doctor, and, of course, it had to be lanced, and oh! the pain, it made me think I was going to faint. It is ever so much better now. and I hope to be able to return to school to-morrow. Thaflk you ever so much for the cards which I received last Friday, and I also wish to thank “Bonny Primrose” and “Red Island Rock” for supplying the cards. The card* which I am enclosing are for “Brookstead” and “Red Island Rock.” Do you think that any of the Wendyi tea ctrald possibly supply “Cricketers” Nos. 22. 14. 5, 4. and Nos. 32. 36. 40, 41, 45, and 50 of “Trains. ’ I hardly believed it when I read that there were nearly five hundred member? now. If they keep on increasing there will not be room for all ‘.he letters. Well. Wendy. I will close now. hoping that you and all Wendyites are well. Love and best wishes. —From “DOROTHY PERKINS.” Makirikiri.

A boil is a most painful affliction, and I nrrt pleased to know that you are now feeling better. Thank you for the card?. Hope to get some you need.—Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—l hope you are very well. We went to the pictures last night, and enjoyed ourselves, although it was very cold coming home in the car. We will be having our examination soon and I hope to pass. Our roses are ail coming into bloom and they look very pretty. The two pet lambs are growing big and fat and since I started this letter we have two more. “Country Rose” and I have two more flower gardens. The triangular one is my sister's and she is going to have just pansies in it. Close by we have a round one, which we are filling up with carnations. They shall be very pretty, don’t you think, Wendy? Well, dear Wendy, I will say good-bye now, sVith love.—From "THE STORY GIRL,” Ngutuwera. I wish you the best of success at the examination. Your gardens will look beautiful later, won’t they ? Pansies and carnations are lovely.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—Please would you enrol me as a Wendy Hut reader, and may I have “Daydream” for my pen-name? I am sending a few cigarette cards for you to giva to others. Would you get me Nos. 5 and 11 of “Pir■ates and Highwaymen,” please Wendy? We have five pet lambs, and a number of little turkey chickens. The other day my brother caught a young magpie, and we are hoping it will learn to talk. As it is bedtime, I must close, with Iove.—“DAYDREAM,” Taoroa. You are welcome to my large family, and you may have your pen-name. Thank you for the cards. I hope to get some you require. I think the magpie will talk and whistle. —Wendy. Dear Wendy.—l am getting ready for our school sports, and I suppose all the Wendyites are practising, too. I am in the relay race and the overhead ball game. Hasn’t the weather been kind to us lately? I wish I could write nice letters like “Apple Blossom/’ Perhaps I would get some marks for best leri t >en. I my fcnrlfe, and cards safely. I must thank “Gay Parrisienne” and “Red Island Rock” very much for those cards. I will send them some in return, Wendy. I think the little diagram on the badge is very interesting and I am quite proud to think I own such a badge, and belong to such a nice association. Wendy, do you think we will be able to have pictures like the “Guild of Kindness” do? I suppose we will in time. Well, dear Wendy, I must close now with heaps of love to you and all the Wendyites.—From “INDIAN MAIDEN,” Westmere. It will be a great day when the sports are being held. Pleased you like your badge. I may be able to arrange for more pictures later.—Wendy.

BIRTHDAY GREETINGS. “MANY HAPPY RETURNS’ 1 OF THE DAY To “Christmas Rose,” Westmere, November 5. “The Rainbow Queen,” Winiaia., November 6. ’’Queen Mab,” Waverley, November 6. “Snowball/* Ohakiin ft , November 7. •Jacko,” Sanson, November 8. “Murray Moon,” Sanson, November 8. “Siow Coach,” Ohau, November 9. “Iceland Poppy,” Marton, November 10. “Bob-tail Bunny.” Waverley, November 11.

Dear Wendy,—Thank you very much for putting my name on the Honours Board. I never thought 1 would get three marks. I am going to continue about the birds of the Maoris. The favoured pet of all was the lively tui. The tui could be taught to talk, and his native gift of melody was put to joyous use in trilling the special Maori song composed for him. Moreover, great was the delight of the hospitable villagers when their tui was able to greet visitors with the florid words of welcome. The little master of ceremonies would catch the fever of joyous excitement ; he would flutter backwards and forwards on his perch, puff his glossy feathers out till he was nearly twice his natural size. One can well believe that the wsypn-hearted natives set a great store by rtjr their clever little entertainer. They built him a respecttable cage,, and softened captivity with praise and good things. The highest Maori praise was to call him “Eloquent" as the throat of the sweet singing tui. Sometimes the beautiful paradise duck was tamed, and it was surprising to see how quiet it was. I must close now, with love.—From "BUTTERFLY," Hunterville.

The tui is a favourite bird with all of us, I think. It is a great pity there are not more about.—Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—As I have a nasty cough 1 am staying away from Sunday school, so I though 1 would write you a lew lines. I was thought I would write you a few lines. I was Honours Board. Last Tuesday there were only two girls and myself in Standard LI. that came to school in the snow. There are 34 girls and 11 boys in my class at school. W'e all like our teacher very much. We are having our ewn soon and I hope to come near the top. We are all quite excited about Guy' Fawkes. We are going to have a big fire if it is not too windy. We have a nice lot of pansies and other flowers. This is all the news for this time. With love to yourself and ail the Wendyites.—From “RAINBOW FAIRY,” Ohakune Junction. Sorry you had to stay away from Sunday school on account of your cold. Hope you are successful in your examinations and win first place. Your garden must be lovely just now.— Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—The turkey took her chickens too far away from home so mum gave them to the cluckey fowl that had just been sitting for two days. W’e put them under the hen at night and in the morning she thought they were her own. My grey cat had three deart little kittens. This morning we had some snow, but there was not enough to make snowballs with. I love to play in the snow and sometimes the big balls get too heavy for me to roll. They take a long time to melt when they are big. Lots of love.—From “RUPERT THE CHICK.” Taihape. *• was a very good idea to give those turkey chick.? to a hen because turkey mothers never seem to know that their little ones must be protected from cold, and not taken too fat away.—Wendy. Dear Wendy.—Please win you enrol me as one of your happy band, and may I have "Moon Wink” for my pen-name? Wendy, my, sister is writing this letter because I am not allowed to use ink. I like reading the Hut page. Those twins, Peter and Pam, get up to a lot of mischief, don’t they? I know “Scotch Lass” and "Bonny Mary” because last holidays they came to stay with us. Yesterday I got up from the measles for the first time. I will close now. Love to you and all the Wendyites.—From “MOON WINK,” TaiCertainly you may join. “Moon Wink.” Pleased to hear you are recovering from the measles. They are not nice, are they?—

Dear Wendy,—l am sorry I did not write to you on Sunday but I was away from home. I must thank the Wendyites for the picture cards they so kindly sent me. My mother has twenty-one chickens out and expects more out soon. It is raining here now and has been very windy for some time. The rain will do my garden good. I have been to Wanganui four or five times and I think it is a very nice place. Are you going to Palmerston North Show, Wendy? I went last time but I am very Uncertain about this year. I am sending you some picture cards to distribute around your circle and the other cards are some spare ones I had. I must draw this note to a close now with love to you and your family.—From "GUELDA ROSE,” Upper Tutaenui. Thank you for the nice' lot of cards, "Guelda Rose.” Most gardens needed rain and plants should grow well now.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—This week I am going to tell you about sponges. Sponges may be found covering rocks, boring into shells, or lying on the beach washed up from their home in the sea. Some of them are brightly coloured. Sponge-hunting is a pleasant occupation in England and many colours are found. The bath sponge has many small openings. These small holes are the end of tubes that lead to cavities in the interior. In life the skeleton is covered with jelly-like flesh and the tubes and cavities are lined with whiplike lashes. Sponges multiply by eggs and by budding and the plant-like mode of increase is taken advantage of cuttings being successfully bedded out. The best bath sponges are brought from the Mediterranean Sea-Sponge-fishing in the Mediterranean is carried on by aivers from small boats and each diver will go down from fifteen to twenty times a day. The frame-work in bath sponges is horny and others are distinguished as flinty or limy from the nature of the spicules in the sponge flesh. Some of the flinty sponges are extremely beautiful and the skeleton of one known as Venus’ Flower-basket is often mounted under a shade as an ornament. At one time these were very rare, and consequently fetche dvery high prices. The skeleton of the Japanese glass rope sponge is also a charming object. Fishermen once took it for a nest of some marine animal. Clione, the boring sponge, lives in oyster-shells and burrows into limestone. Suberites cover the whelk-shell and eats away its substance, sometimes to the discomfort of the hermit-crab who may tenant it. The crumb-of-bread sponge ranging from greyish-yellow to various shades of green, covers the surfaces of rocks between tide-marks. The largest flinty sponge is the Mermaid’s Gloves. The limy sponges, generally of cup-like shapes, are scattered all over the world, ranging from between tide-marks to a depth of 400 fathoms. They are found in rock-pools in England where they live attached to the fronds of seaweed. Well, Wendy, I will close now with heaps of love to all the Wendyites and yourself.—From "WOOD VIOLET," Ngutuwera. Sponges make quite an interesting study "Wood Violet.” I must admit 1 did not know much about them and I am glad you have enlightened me on the subject.—Wendy. * ♦ • • Dear Wendy,—How soon the days pass and it is again time to write to you. There never seems to be a Saturday without someone joinin gthe "Wendy Hut” p#.ges. We are having nasty weather at present. How cold the sheep that have just been shorn will be. It will not be long before the Daylight Saving Bill starts. What a bustle for everyone getting to work or school early. Often in the evening we see two rabbits playing and feeding ion a hill near our place. Rabbits are becoming very destructive in the country. They are being destroyed as much as possible. I will close now. With heaps of love fron^. —• “WILD ROSE.” Okoia. Yes, the weather has been quite wintry the last few days. I expect we shall soon become accustomed to the earlier rising and perhaps it will not be very hard.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—Once again I am writing to your happy circle as I did not write last week. I have a question to ask you this i time and it is what can we clean our badges with as they are going black in colour. The weather up here to-day is very cold and wet but I hope it will soon pick up again and we have those beautiful hot days again. Next week we will be having daylight saving which will give us more time to have our sport in. Well, Wendy, I will have to close now with love from your Wendyite.—"DAlSY BELL,” Manga weka. I cannot understand why your badge should go black. Have you been cleaning it with some polish? If you take the gilt off by rubbing it too hard it would spoil the badge. Tell me next week.—Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—l am very sorry I did not write to you the last two weeks. This week I am going to tell you about the keakea. This plant grows on the cliffs and climbs up different kinds of trees. It has a fairly long narrow leaf and a long stem. It is similar in appearance to sugar cane. It has a large white flower of about five or six petals and three large nobs in the centre. There are two kinds of keakeas ; one has hard knobs and the other has powery knobs. The flowers, when ripe, are very nice to eat and it is very hard to get one before the rats get them as they are very fond of them. The leaves are also used by the Maoris to make hats Now, Wendy, I will close with love from.—"COUNTRY ROSE.” Ngutuwera.

No, I do not know the keakea, but it sounds quite pretty. There are some very nice climbing plants in our New Zealand bush, but I have not seen are like the keakea.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—Before I touch on any other subject I must remember to thank you for ;y badge—which I do most heartily. It is a very pretty badge, and I am wearing it now. This week I am going to tell you something about bees. The interior of their home is thick screens of wax which hang from the ceiling and nearly reach the floor. There fa a little opening in one of the walls through which the big bees fly to the outer world. When the bee finds a firm part of the ceiling, it begins at the top and builds downwards, sticking on small pieces of wax and scooping them out so as to form the cell, and when many small cells have been made the queen-bee comes and lays her eggs in them—one egg to each tiny cell. In time these eggs hatch into little white larva and of course they have to be fed. When a big bee finds out that an egg has hatched it immediaaely gives it something to cat —honey. This continues for some time until the larvae has no need for any more honey but only desires to sleep. Then the big bees make a little roof of wax over the cell so as to shield the baby bee from the light. While the little bee sleeps a marvellous change takes place. The body develops, so that three distinct divisions are visible, the forepart being the head; the middle the abdomen from which is growing six legs and two pairs of wings. The third part is that which holds the sting and the little bags to hold the wax and honey, which grow down its sides. When the bee has quite awakened it evidently is too big for the cell, for it breaks the roof of wax. At this sign the bigger bees come to its assistance and help it out of its cell, no longer a little white caterpillar but a fluffy, grey bee. I have not yet told you, Wendy, that the cells are built one on top of the other, all the way up the walls to the ceiling. Bees are able to tend to the topmost lartae just as well as the lowest. There are hundreds of little eggs to make, ceils for. so that the bees have to build them very close together, leaving barely enough room for the other bees to pass from one cell to the other. Bees must have very much more patience than human beings. don’t you think. Wendy? Wouldn’t it look funny if our houses were built in the same manner aS bees’ cells? Heaps of love to you and your family, Wendy.— From "ROMOLA,” Taihape. Yes, bees are most, interesting creatures. Have you read the “Life of the Bee.” by "Maeterlinck." You will find it a most interesting book.—Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—l have quite a lot of news this week. Daddy said he would see about my badge next week so be sure and keep one for me. The Brownies are going to be enrolled next Saturday afternoon at four o’clock. This week I will tell you about my day at the Esplanade, in Palmerston North on Monday. Well, we started from Marton and arrived at Palmerston North at halfpast one. We went straight to the Esplanade. We went in the gate, through a beautiful drive with sorts of lovely creepers and flowers growing along each side. Underneath each big tree lay thick masses of nil the most beautiful cinerarias, as thick as they could be. I got out of the car and went to a lovely little winding path which went through long arches of great huge pieces of wisteria which looked very pretty. We went on until we came to the kj#sk where they were selling icecreams. I asked Daddy for a penny one and I got it. Well, Wendy, I must close now with love.—From "CUPID," Marton.

What a lovely day you had at Palmerston North. It would be such a nice change for you. Thank you, dear, for the snap. 1 like it very much indeed. I must also thank you for the kisses and cards.—Wendy.

Dar Wendy,—l must thank-you very ranch for the badge which arrived on my birthday. I lilted the badge as well as my other presents. I wonder if any of the Wendyites can let me have any of the following numbers 2, 5, 13, 14, 24, 25, 35, 38, 42, 43, 44, 45, in beautiful New Zealand scenes, please. I have sent the others to my Grandma in England, and I would like to complete the set. She is very pleased to receive any New Zealand views, and thinks the scenery here wonderful—With love from “DADDY’S CHUM.” Sanson.

lam glad you liked the badge, Audrey. 1 will try to get the cards for you to send to your Grandma. It would be nice if sho could come to New Zealand, wouldn’t it? — Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—Are you always going to pwt coupons in the paper or are you going tn stop sending them when you have enough members. Would you please answer this question because I do not know anyone else who can. Do you like competitions? I am not very fond of them. Would you let use write an essay on the Christmas holidays when they are over and we are back at school again. Would you tell me who wrote the adventures of Peter and Pam, the terrible twins. Is there a "Blue Rose” among your members. It will be my birthday next month and I am longing for it to come. Well,' I must end this letter now.—Love to all, from "BLUSH ROSE,” Wanganui.

The coupon will always be published so that as many young friends who wish to may join. Yes, I will have an essay competition after Christmas. Sorry I can’t tell you who wrote the adventures of Peter and Pam. I have no “Blue Rose,” yet.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—l am sorry I did not write last week, but there was no mail last Monday to get my letter away. I entered for the painting competition, but don’t expect to win anything. I have a small vegetable garden in the corner of Dad’s large plot. About a month ago I planted cucumbers, a row of radishes and a row of peas. The peas are now ready to stake, for they have grown very well. Only five cucumbers have come up, but they will be quite nice if I can keep them away from the slugs. A few days ago I planted lettuce, tomatoes and Soya beans. I suppose this rain will make them shoot up. This is only a short letter, for I have no news.—With love from "STARLIGHT,” Pukeroa, Hunterville.

Your gardening activities must prove very interesting to you. Sorry you did not win the painting competition. Next time you may have better luck.— Wendy.
