Dear Wendy,-You may see by my age given above that I am quite a baby. Wendy, ever since “Taukatau” and ”Qkirae came out home "Taukatau” has been pestering mummy and daddy to allow me to become a Wendy it e. and at last she has succeeded, and she has kindly consented to write you my first few lines. "Okirae” and Taukatau stayed for nearly a week, and gee. Im sure they both enjoyed themselves. Daddy has a Harley-Davidson motor cycle and he often takes me for a ride, and I always sit in front of him. My brother and cousin are also joining your happy band, too. T. h ®y are “Ngapaiaka.” and “Huatahi. Well, Wendy, seeing that I am only a tiny I must not take up too much room, but please may I have “Tamatukau" for my pen-name? With love to all Itos I will close.—From “TAMATUKAU,” New Plymouth. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. How lovely to have such a dear wee soul as yourself toddling into our Hut. How kind of daddy to take you for rides upon his motor cycle. I am sure you would like that. You may have the pen-name you have asked for. Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—Another Hon. Member and also another of "Taukatau's” victims seeking admission within the ranks of your happy band of Wendyites. These are only my first few lines. Wendy, so I shall not take up too much space, because I am sure that either “Tanetukau” or “Hinetukau” have told you about your two Ites, “Taukatau M.W.L. and “Okirae, C.W.K.” coming and spendin ■» a few days with us. I have no other news to tell you, Wendy, so before I close please may I have "Ongarue” for my pen-name? Love to all Wendyites and yourself, I will close.—From "ONGARUE,” New Plymouth. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. Oh, so I see you have fallen a victim to the pleadings of our “Taukatau” also. Yes, I heard about the visit of “Taukatau” and “Okirae.” What a jolly time they had. You may have the pen-name you have asked for. —Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—“Taukatau" has at last succeeded I She has for I don’t know how long, been worrying me to become a member of your well-known Hut. So at last here I am seeking admission as an Hon. Member. Last Monday “Okirae” and “Taukatau” came out home with “Tanetukau” and stayed until Saturday. We took them down to the beach on Thursday, and I am sure they both enjoyed themselves. Since “Taukatau” came out here she has been busy from morning until night. We got nothing else but, "Join the Wendy Hut,” and at last we had to say “Yes.” After “Okirae” and "Taukatau” left everything has been so quiet because

"Taukatau” brought her ukelele with her and gee! everything is always happy with those two staunch Ites. Their favourite song was "Happy Days.” It seemed quite a pleasure for them to sit and sing to us, but after they left all our sunshine went. too. Well, Wendy, I think I have said all for now, but before concluding, for my pen-name please may I have “Hinetukau” ? With arohanui, kia koutou katoa, I will close. —From "HINETUKAU,” New Plymouth. Welcome to the Wendy Hut. my dear. So "Taukatau” has succeeded at last. What an energetic Ite she is, to be sure. What a time our two Ites must have spent while on their visit. Perhaps they will visit you again soon and bring back the sunshine of their companionship with them. You may have the pen-name you have asked for.—Wendy. « « • « Dear Wendy,—"Taukatau” to the fore again! She has succeeded also in persuading me to join the Wendy Hut, as an Hon. Member. Whenever I go to Wanganui she always asks me, but now that I am writing asking admission I’m sure she will not worry me any longer. By now I suppose either “Hinetukau” or “Ongarue” have told you about “Okirae’s” and “Taukatau’s” short stay here with us. Say. Wendy, I’ve a question to ask you ; during “Taukatau’s” holiday here she happened to he glancing over a Saturday Taranaki Daily News when she came across their Wendy Hut Club pages. We have since wondered if that is the same as our Wendy Hut. is it, Wendy? “Taukatau” said it wasn’t, because there was also another “Snowdrop” and she knew that we didn’t have two “Snowdrops” and besides “Taukatau” knows our “Snowdrop.” During the ’ burial ceremony of Sir Maui Pomare I met quite a number of Wendyites. They -were “Hamua,” “Tekorito.” "Whakatangata Kia Kaha,” “Tumanako,” “Wendy Hut’s Taxi,” "Johnny Walker 2nd.” as well as “Taukatau” and “Okirae.” I also know nearly all the Kaiwhaiki, Arakuhu and Rakato members. Oh, I nearly forgot, please may I have "Tanetukau” for my pom de plume? WelJ. Wendy, this is all for the present, so with heaps of arohanui to you all.—From "TANETUKAU.” New Plymouth.

Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. Goodness, and so our “Taukatau” has made you her victim also. Yes, I have heard all about the visit of “Taukatau” and “Okirae.” What a happy time they must have spent. No, dear, the Wendy of the Taranaki Tinies is not I, of the Wendy Hut of Wanganui. I am pleased you met so many of our Ites. That's fine indeed. Yes, dear, you may have the pen-name you have asked for.—Wendy.

j Dear Wendy,—May I become one of your ’happy band? One of your Ites has worried me until I think it is better to join. May 1 have “Tintana’ for my pen-name, if it is not taken? Dear- Wendy, would you tell “Betty Zane” that I would like her to be my , pen-friend. I am twenty years old. Don’t the years fly past quickly? Are you going away for your Christmas holidays, Wendy? How much are the badges, because I would like to get one? I must close this short letter till next week. Hoping I may become a Wendyite. Best wishes to all of the Wendyites, and best regards to yourself. —From yours rfneerely, “TINTANA,” Aramoho. Welcome to the Wendy Hut. my dear. Yes, you may have the pen-name you have asked for. I will ask our "Betty Zane.” Yes, the years soon pass us by, don’t they? I do not yet know if I shall be going away for Christmas. The badges are Is Id posted.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—Please may I join your happy band of Wendyites? I am eight years of age. I go to the Westmere School and am in Standard I. My birthday is on April 11. “Elfin Fairy” is my sister. I have two brothers. “Silver Pine” is my cousin. May I have Kowhai Girl’’ for my pen-name, please. Well, as this is my first letter I will bring it to a close. With love.— From "KOWHAI GIRL,” Westmere. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. Oh, and so “Elfir- Fairy” is your sister. That’s fine. Goi.dres* and “Silver Pine” is your cousin. How lovely. Yes, dear, you may have the pen-name you have asked for. Wendy. Dear Wendy,—l am still a baby as you may see. so I shall not take up t.oo much space. When "Taukatau” came through to Waitara she simply worried the life out of mummy till she succeeded and mother has given her the joh of writing these few lines to you, Wendy. I live in Waitara, and really it s a good place. Please may I have "Huatahi” for my pen-name? “Taukatau” says that my two cousins have joined also and I have chosen "Ngapaiaka” and “Tamatukau” for their pen-names. This is all, Wendy, so all 1 will clos ®-—From "HUAIAHI, Waitara.

Welcome to the Wendy Hut. my dear. Oh. but how lovely to have such a dear wee souL as you in our midst. It is so kind of “Taukatau to write for you. However, the time will soon come when you will be able to write nil by yourself, won’t it? Yes. you may have the jien-name you have asked for.—Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—Please may I become a member of your happy band of Wendyites? Ever since mother came home from Wanganui and after she told me about my cousins "Taukatau,” "Mei” and "Taukatau Hi” being Wendyites I. too. have longed to become one. When "Taukatau” came out to see us, she told me about my younger brother joining and then she asked me if I should like to join, too? So here I am, Wendy. “Taukatau” and a few of her co-Ites came through to Waitara during the meeting for Sir Maui Pomare’s burial, but when the rest went home

“Taukatau” and "Okirae” came through and stayed a few days at "Ongarue's” place. They returned home on Saturday. I did not go through to Waitara. Please may I have "Ngapaiaka” for my pen-name? Wendy, I dare say you can guess who is writing these fgw lines for me. So with stacks of aroha to all.—From "NGAPAIAKA,” New Plymouth.

Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. I am ever so pleased to have you in our merry midst. How lovely to have our “Taukatau” and “Okirae” to stay with you. What times you all must have had together. Yes, dear, you may have the pen-name you have asked for.—Wendy.

“MOREA,” Makirikiri.—How glad I am you are such a one for your school, dear. You will get on well if you always are eager to be back at your books and lessons. That is a fine spirit indeed. The time does fly swiftly by indeed. Christmas will be with us before we fnow where we are, won’t it? What a lot of eggs you get each day. You are lucky. The calves are dear, wee creatures, aren't they? What a pretty name you have chosen for the one you have. “Rob Roy” was lucky to discover the nest. I used to go looking for them once, too. The plum trees do .look lovely, don’t they? Write soon again, won’t you, dear?—Wendy.
