The 1 highest was 315, so I did not do so badly 1 after all. In Standard IV. we have to ha • 215 to pass us. “Hut's Fairy Godmother" 1 has been in bed for three weeks with a bad 1 leg. My aunty came down and did the work. • On the 25th we had snow, and it was over our shoes, so we did not go to school. “Fairy of the Glen’e” sister has been very sick lately. so they were not able to go to school. W* ■ are learning to play basketball now. Grandpa is coming to stay with us soon. The snow 1 ’ has spoilt all the gardens. "Just Mother” • | has been ill. too. “Fairy of the Glen.” "Fire ; | Light Fairy” and "Fairy Tinkle Bell" have f i been in the hospital with diphtheria. Dear • i Wendv. 1 will close now. Tn-ta.
