“THE QUEEN OF HEARTS" IS PLEASED

THIS WEEK'S MOTTO:

Dear Wendy,—How pleased I was to see a little answer to my letter in the paper today, and Thelma was delighted when I read it to her. She said she was going down the road right from here to Wanganui just to kiss you, because you are such a dear for saying she (Thelma) was kind. I was very, very, very, very pleased to hear "Donzella” is the “Hut’s Milkmaid.” She and “Wee Jean of Aberdeen” are my best mates at school. Well, dear Wendy, Thelma is weeping for me, so I had better go. Toot-tee-flootie.—From “THE QUEEN OF HEARTS,” Ohingaiti. I am ever so happy you saw the answer to your letter in our page last Saturday, my dear. Goodness me, I do hope Thelma does not walk all that long way just to thank me for my praising her goodness. I am pleased you, “Donzella” and “Wee Jean from Aberdeen” are such chums. You must have wonderful times together.—Wendy.

“MOON ROSE,” Mataroa.—Gracious me. dear, and so here you are. I have wondered and wondered what could have happened to you of late. I will excuse you, never fear, for you have, I see, been working hard to pass. You will let me know, won’t you? The weather here has been somewhat changeable, but towards the middle of this week our Clerk sent us some really wonderful days. The stamps arrived safely, dear. They are always so welcome.—Wendy. * * • •

“BETTY BLY,” Utiku. —I am ever so happy, dear, to have your most welcome letter this week. I was almost going to send our Elf in search of you. How wonderfully well you did in writing. Fancy top of the class in that subject. That's fine! You have worked very hard indeed. Yes, dear, Christmas wi ; l soon be here now. I wonder jutt what Eanta Claus wil bring you when he comes. I hope it is something lovely. You’ll not forget to hang up your stocking, will you ?—Wgpdy. “LITTLE BOY BLUE,” Ohakune.—Why, dear, this is a lovely surprise. I am so happy to have your most welcome letter this week. I am keeping quite well, thank you. I wonder who the poor old man was? !*■ is dreadful to see one so old and weak tramping along the roads, isn’t it? You had rather good luck when you went fishing, didn't you? Oh, I think Bobs a lovely game. I have often played it. I hope to hear that you have passed, dear. You will let me know, wont you?—Wendy.

“LADY VIOLET,” Mangaweka.—l am so happy to receive your welcome letter this week, my dear. I was beginning to wonder if you had become ill or something. I hope the school concert is a great success. You must let me know something about it, won't you ? Yes, you are, indeed, lucky. Rarely is it that a brood turns out to be all pullets. The rain has done a lot of good, hasn’t it, although it has somewhat upset the shearing arrangements. Hasn’t the time flown? Why, it seems as it were only yesterday I bade you all a Merry Christmas and here it eomes again.—Wendy.

“LAUGHING MOON.” Mataroa.—So happy to have your most welcome letter this week, my dear. I could not imagine whatever had become of you. Oh, that is different. I see you have been working ever so hard at your studies. I hope to hear that you have passed. I am pleased you and “Mrs Wishing-to-be” are such chums. What timet you must have at school. The weathei has been changeable with some lovely days, however, to make up for the dull ones. 1 received the stamps safely for which I thank you so much. It is almost impossible to secure Bourneville cocoa coupons, as everyone seems to be saving them. However, it any should come my way J will remember you.—Wendy. “THE MARTON WILDFLOWER,” Marton Junction.—l am ever so pleased to hear from you this week, my dear. How wonderful! What excjellyit artists you three must be to gain so many marks for your drawing. I hope you have passed, dear. You will let me know, won’t you? Oh, how lovely. Fancy having your grandmother to stay with you. That is fine, indeed, but how you will miss her when she leaves to return to her home. —Wendy. • • • •

“CYCLAMEN,” Huntervile.—How jolly of you to write this week, my dear. I was just beginning to wonder what had become of you. That’s right, dear. I shall be ever so pleased to hear how you succeeded at the examination. The weather here has been changeable, too. However, one does not mind so very much, for the cooling showers help to make all the gardens the more beautiful and keep the dust from rising. How lovely to be staying with “Highland Dancer.” What times you will have together. Learn %11 you can, dear, before setting out upon life’s pathway. Knowledge will enable you to gain success where others so often fail. “Highland Dancer” is wise in having her 'eeth drawn if they are defective. Bad teeth so often cause unnecessary illness. Give her my love and tell her I will be thinking of her.—Wendy. ‘THE SCARLET POPPY, M Waverley.— How happy I am to have your welcome letter to-day, dear. Yes, Christmas will very soon be here. I hope you will have a, happy time. Isn’t Santa Claus a dear? I wonder what good things he will put in your stocking? The rain has been most welcome. How fresh the beautiful flowers appear after the cooling showers I hope your little brother is soon quite well again.—Wendy. • • • •

“DADDY’S LITTLE DARLING,’’ Hunterville.—l am keeping quite well, thank you, my dear. The rain has made a wonderful difference to all the gardens, hasn’t it? The oowers appear so refreshed after the showers, don’t they ? How lovely to spend the week-end with “Cyclamen.” What splendid games you must have had together. You will let me know if you have passed, won’t you? Swimming is wonderful, isn’t it?—Wendy. “HONEY DEW,” Wanganui.—l am so glad to have your letter this week, my dear. I shall go and see the concert. Will there be many gnftmes in the piece. I shall watch for you. I shall take Sir Richard Elf, C. de L., with me also. If you see him you will not be afraid to tell him just who you are, will you? So you came top of your class. Wonderful I I am ever so proud of you. You have worked hard. Oh, and so you are going to learn to swim. That’s fine!—Wendy.

“To say things, is good. To do things, is belter," —From “BETTY BLUE,” Sanson.

“PRINCESS TULIP," Kaitoke.—What a happy surprise to be sure. I could not think where you could be hiding this long while. Yes, Christmas is drawing more and more closer. Before we know where we are the festive season will be upon us. Monkeys are indeed clever and intelligent animals. Yes, I hope it was fine for the Hawera Show. “Winter Bride” was aery disappointed indeed at not being able to attend the Wanganui Show. The initials are correct, dear. An excellent guess. The soon grow up, don’t they? They can hurt you, too, when they bunt you.—Wendy.

“JUST JENNY,” Feilding.—Wonderful dear! Goodness, but what a happy surprise you have given me. Do you know I was just on the point of sending our Elf in search of you when your letter came, I hope you spent a happy time on your birthday and received many lovely presents. How lovely to have “Star of the Desert” to stay with you. How jolly. I am ever so proud to learn vou have done so well in the examination. Well done, dear. Christmas is very close indeed. The time has passed ever so swiftly, hasn’t it? Yes, I expect nearly everyone is saving up all their pocket money now for the festive season.—Wendy. “EVANGELINE,” Marton.—l received the entry safely, my dear. I am pleased you approve of my decision to ask our dear “Old Gran” to judge “Just Daddy’s” competition. What a task she will have, too. I do hope you will pass. You will let me know, won’t you? My favourite subjects are literature and history. The kittens are such playful wee things, aren't they ? Have you chosen names for them yet? How I used to love to read “Evangeline,” too. It is one of my favourites. No, I have not read the book you mention.—Wendy. “THE WEDGEWOOD GIRL," Marton.—l am ao happy to have your welcome letter this week, dear. I hope you spent a happy time on your birthday and received many beautiful presents. How grand to know so many of our members attending your school. Goodness, yes, Christmas will indeed soon be here now. Time has flown swiftly. I shall not be going away this year. If you go to Christchurch I will arrange a meeting between you and our Christchurch Wendyites, I know how pleased they would be to see you. Let me know how you succeed at the examination, won’t you?—Wendv. “A HAPPY LITTLE WENDYITE," Wanganui.—Why, no, dear, I knew you would never forget me, and that soon I should reoeive a lovely letter from you. You see, I was quite right, too, wasn’t I? The rain has made a wonderful difference to all the pretty flowers. They cannot live without its refreshing showers. So you may send me some roses. I love them for they are so fragrant and beautiful. How lovely of “Big Brother” to send you some cake and lollies upon your birthday. That was fine of him, indeed. Oh, I can just imagine |he fun you had. What pretty pansies you have drawn for me. They are so well done I can almost imagine I smell their fragrance. lam sorry indeed to hear daddy had injured his foot. I hope he is soon quite well and home with you again. How you must miss him. My word, Santa Claus was Rind to you last time he came. I hope he will be as generous this Christmas. If you are very good Santa will do as mummy says. Yes, I am going to hang up my stocking, too.—Wendy. “INKY IMP,” Wanganui.—l am ever so' pleased to have your most welcome letter this week, my dear, and to hear you are keeping quite well. Well, dear, our poor Weather Clerk does not know what to do sometimes. You see, so many people ask for such different kinds of weather that it is very hard for our Clerk to please all. He is awfully worried at times. Goodness, no! You must not go out and get wet. That would never do for you may catch cold. You were lucky to have such a lovely party. Never mind, dear, daddy will soon be home with you once more. I know just how much you must miss him.—Wendy.
