“MYOSOTIS,” 12 years lion. Member “MIZBETH’’ 25 years Dear "Wendy,—May I become a member ‘of your happy band of Wendyites? May I have "Myosotis” for my pen-name. I go to school. I have a garden and I go to work with my father on Saturdays. I like to read about Gwen. I went down the river one Saturday and I saw a little bunny, and I tried to catch him. As this is my first letter I will close hoping to be made a Wendyite. Love—from MYOSOTIS.” Greatford. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. Yes, you may have the pen-name you have asked for. How lovely to go to work with daddy. The Chums do have lots of adventures, don’t they.—Wendy. Dear Wendy,—May another grown-up gain admittance Jo your cheery Hut? I do not know any of your Ites, but I hope to some day. I should have said I don’t kndw any of them personally, but really I seem to know some of them quite well, just through reading their letters. I do enjoy ’’Madcap” so. Poor "Madcap,” it is a wonder you dared to ride your bicycle again on a dark night, but I suppose, being a "Madcap,” you would dare anything. Well. Wendy. I am getting slightly away from the point, aren’t I. My age is 25 and may I have "Mizbeth” for my penname, if it is not taken? Hoping you and all the Ites are well, dear Wendy. With love —from "MIZBETH.” Wanganui. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. We are ever so pleased to have you with us in our merry band of Make-believe. I hope you will soon meet with lots of our Ites. Yes, "Madcap” is a real merry-maker, isn’t she? Yes, you may have the pen-name you have asked for. You will soon pay another call, won’t you?—Wendy,
