; “SOUTHERN CROSS,” Wanganui.-1 am so pleased to hear from you again, my dear. I hope you have passed. Let me know, won’t you Many thanks for the stamps you sent me. They are welcome. No, I will not be going away for a holiday. How lovely to be going to the beach for the holidays. That will be nice. What a nice name your brother has given his kitten. They are so playful, aren’t they?—Wendy. "XMAS BOY.” Ohingaiti. Oh. I can never thank you enough, my dear, for the wonderful help you have given me this week. How busy you have been. The clothes will be such a help to some poor mother. I hope you received many lovely presents on your birthday. “Santa Claus” will not forget you for being so kind as to help him bring joy to some poor little girl or hoy’s heart. I am pleased you liked the names for the kittens. How busy daddy must be with the ploughing. Many thanks for the stamps you sent.— Wendy. “BROWN WALLFLOWER,” Taihape.—The marks are totalled up at the end of the year, my dear, and the highest gets my special prize. Next year you will have to try and see if you can win it. I think I can safely say that we should have some line weather for Christmas, unless the weather clerk has some more bad weather to send us. If he has let us hope he will send it away down to the South Pole or some place like that where it does not matter. I hope you will all meet in Taihape on Christmas Eve. What a splendid • idea of yours to recognise all wearers of the I Wendy Hut badges. I hope all my Taihape ! readers will wear theirs on that night.— Wendy. “TAWHERO LASSIE,’ ’Wanganui.—l had begun to think, my dear, that I had heard the last of you, and I was so pleased when I received your letter this week. I am glad you intend to write regularly. I hope you will pass. Let me know, won’t you? I went to the show, and thought it splendid. Many thanks for the cards you sent me. They are welcome. -Wendy. “AYACANORA,” Marton,- I received your entry in the competition quite safely, my dear, and note yrtur instructions in respect to it. 1 hope I will hear from you again soon.— Wendy. “THUNDERBOLT,” Ohingaiti.—How glad I am that you have written to me once again, my dear. I noticed your name on the roll only yesterday, and wondered what had l>ccome of you. Christmas will soon be here now, and I am sure that Father Christmas will not pass you by. How lucky your little sister will be to get the lovely doll’s pram and sleeping doll. How nice to have a horse to ride home from school on every night. I am so pleased you all go to Sunday school. — Wendy. I “LADYBIRD,” Ohingaiti.—How pleased 1 lam to hear from you. my dear. I thank you | so much for your kindness to me in helping to provide a beautiful Christmas for the poor family about whom I wrote last week. I hope Father Christmas receives your letter, however. 1 know he will not forget you, for he will remember your kindly action, and reward it. How kind of your aunty in Palmerston North to help you save the stamps for me. Your daddy is very good to you. Fancy giving you a calf to sell at Christmas time. No, I did not see the eclipse of the moon, and I was quite disappointed, too. It would have been very interesting. I wonder if Father Christmas will come to your picnic thia year, I hope he does. -Wendy. Dear Wendy,—Well. I hope you will excise me for not writing for such a long time, but I have been very busy studying for my proficiency. Hasn’t the weather been beautiful lately? The people are beginning to go to the beaches and rivers picnicking again. My word, it seems no time ago since we used to go picnicking last year. Wendy, do you know if “Princess Betty” is ill or anything, as I wrote her two letters in September and have not received a reply yet. ■I am afraid I will have to dose now, with I heaps of love to yourself and all the Wendyites.—From “ORANGE SPRAY,” Marton. I I am very glad to hear from you once more, my dear. I hope you will pass. Let me •know, won’t you? The weather has been a little better lately. I must not speak too loud though, or the Weather Clerk will hear me, and send some more of his bad weather like he did last time. It is so nice to go picnicking. I have not heard of “Princess Betty” being ill. The last letter I received from her was some time ago. Perhaps she will see this and write. If she does not write by next week, let me know and I will remind her. The Card Exchange has been closed some weeks now. I am going to open it again next year.—Wendy.
