MATAROA MEMBERS ATTENTION!

Dear Wendy, please do not get a shock when you discover from whom this letter comes. I'm sure, Wendy, you will, by now, have forgotten you have such a Wendyite, by the name of ’Highland Dancer.’ I promised I would pay a visit to "Phantasy” on the 22nd of last month, but 1 couldn’t get down. I suppose "Phantasy” is very wild with me, for she hasn’t written since, but she will have to excuse mo this time; what say you. Wendy? My word, isn’t it lovely to have “Patti Corelli” hack with us again? What a lovely letter the "Hut's Padre" wrote. I enjoyed reading it. All the school children seem to bo so very busy with their exams. I do hope they all pass. It will be so disappointing if any of them fail. Well. Wendy. I am feeling dreadfully nervous to-day. as tomorrow I am going to get all my teeth out (2G of thorn) by painless. However. I suj> pose I had better pluck up courage, but still, it is a hard thing to do, Wendy. We are having very changeable weather up here. Ono minute it is pouring with rain, and the next the sun is shining. I see in your letter where you were going for a swim. Did you enjoy it? I have been in for about 40 swims and “Cyclamen” has been for p. good many. too. “Cyclamen” is stavi'.e the week-end with mr. I have boon to Mataroa for a week’s holiday. Now. lam going up again on Thursday for about a fortnight. Could you make some arrangements for me to meet some of the Mataroa Wendyites? I should be so very pleased if you could. I think you had better publish rny address for “The Mother Who Smacks I hem All” as I never told her mv name, and she has not written. I expect she wouldn’t know where to address the lo'tor. I would like a boy pen-friend about Ifi or if I may have one. If there are none that age. I would like one older. Wendv, do you read very much? lam a real bookworm. These are some of the books I have read: Violet River, Jasper's Conquest. Captain Polly, The Inimitable Jieves. To-mor-rows Tangle, The Breathless Moments. The Scarlet Tanager. Wine o’ the Winds, Crumbs From the Children’s Table. The D'-’rhnst £, • £ Tale of Modern Smugglers. Buttons. Glen Eyre. Stella’s Victory, and a lot more. Have you read any I mentioned? Thev ait all very nice • hooks. Mv word. ‘ “Big Brother” must have had a big party. I would. love to have gone down, but it was in vain. We have had a beautiful bunch nt sweet peas given to us. J think thev look beautiful in the vases, don’t you? Derr Wendy. I hope you will excuse my untidy writing this time, hut I jammed my hand m the door yesterday, and cut it. It is very sore. I thought I had better write to you to-day as it is six weeks since I last wrote, and thi= is also the biggest letter I have ever written to you. I must dose now. with tons nf love tn yon and th» Wendvites ’’’rom “HIGHLAND DANCER,” Hunter-

How jolly of you to wrtie this week, mv dear. I was beginning to wonder what had become of you. lam so happv vou h;n-> written this week. “Phantasy,” would, I know, be awfully disappointed a’ vour nonarrival. but she will understand when she 1 reads your letter to-day. Our “Hut’s Padre” writes beautiful letters indeed. How rich thev are in wise counsel. Well. dear, bv the time you read this you will have undergone your ordeal, and T do hope you arc now quite all right. It is no small matter to have so many teeth out in one single operation. I • did not enjoy my first-of-the-season swim for it was just freezing. I will see what I can do to let our Mataroa members know of your presence among them. “The Mother Who Smacks Them All” will, when she writes, address ycur letter to me. I will forward. I will see if I can get you a pen-friend. lam most fond of reading. Some books you enumerate I have read.

“Big Brother” had a most wonderful party. It was a pity you were not able to be present. . T hope your hand is soon better. A jam is most painful.—Wendy. “RED ISLAND ROCK.” Patea.—Ah. clear. T am so happy to have your welcome letter this week. I was just wondering what had happened to you of late. If you had not written this week I should have sent our Elf in search of you. “Firpo” is a regular correspondent indeed. I am so pleased you received a cheery letter from “Daisy Chain.” Dear me. I am sorry to hear your sad news. Will you please convey my deepest sympathy to our dear “Indian Princess?" What sorrow is hers, indeed. The rain was very welcome, wasn’t it? How beautifully fresh the flowere appear after the cooling showers. “Rjx Brother’s” recipe has met with diz* r<*sult« everywhere, hasn’t it? Already I have received word of successes gained among our members. Flying seems quite a common adventure nowadays, doesn’t it?—Wendy.
