“FROM YOURS FOR EVER” GLEEFULLY SHOUTS MERRY “MARK” AND “JUST DOT.”

Dear Wendy,—lt’s ages since “Just Dot” and I wrote to you, but I am home from school to-day with a nasty cold, so mother said she would write for us and we can tell her what to put. We have moved from Waituna to Bulls, just over two months ago, and I go to the Parewanui School, six miles from Bulls. I am in Primer 11. now, and I like this school much better than Waituna. We went to Sanson for our Easter holidays and I saw “Humming Bird” in the store, but I was not speaking to her; she used to know me when I was a wee baby and her brother is my godfather. Wendy, mother has alwavs written to you as “A Lover of Wendyite Letters,” but she has never' sent In a coupon; should she do so to be a real member? “Just Dot” is growing a big girl now: she was four last December. We have Sunday School at our school every other Thursday, and we get a lovely little ticket, and I just love it. Wendy, there is a darling little hedgehog here and we put a saucer of milk at the door and he comes every night and drinks it all One night‘daddy brought him inside and put him on the floor and he was so funny the way he walked and he has such a nice face. Well, dea: Wendy, I think this is all for now and we have written a big letter. Lots of love to all the Ites, yourseelf and all our sick ones and we do hope they are all soon well again. Our pages have been just wonderful, and our Hut looks ever so smart with its new building. - From your for ever, “MARK” and “JUST DOT,” Bulls. How jolly of you two dears to come along and pay us a visit this Letterland Day. I wondered what could have happened to you both. Gracious, but old Mr. ’Flu Germ has paid you a visit, too. Isn’t he a dreadful old monster? I hope he soon goes away. How well vou are progressing at your lessons, too. Yes, tell mother she is doubly welcome, and will she send in the coupon? How “Just Dot” must, be growing. She will soon be a big girlie, won’t she? The hedgehogs are funny wee creatures. So kind of you to put the milk out for it. Write again soon, won’t you? Please give my regards to mother. —Wendy. “UKULELE DREAM GIRL” PAYS A CALL AFTER LONG ABSENCE. Dear Wendy,—No doubt you have been wondering what has happened to me of late. I expect you will excuse me when I tell you the whole trouble is that I’ve been too lazy to write to anybody. I just happened to glance at the Wendy Hut page and saw where “Our Australian Bweet Breath o' Heaven” has just written to “Heath, so I thought I had better drop you a short letter so that I could have her address. I am glad she is back in outranks again. She has been missing for ages, hasn’t she, Wendy? I sent several of the pages and also letters and a I parcel and they all came back again, so I I gave up hopes of ever hearing from | her again. Well, there isn’t much news to tell you as news is scarce down here, and it’s also very quiet. Wi l ! you ask “Heath” to tell “0.A.5.8. o’ H.” that I don’t live at Taihapo now, but at Palmerston North. I hope you will excuse my mistakes and writ ing as I’ve got a lot of practice to do as it is ages since I wrote a letter, J will ring off now. With heaps of love to yourself and your Ites.--From “UKULELE DREAM GIRL,” Pal merston North. So pleased to have your letter, dear. Goodness, no, I cannot believe you ■ are lazy. That will never do. 11l ask “Heath” for our overseas Ite’s ad--1 dress for me. I will give her the change of address, too. —Wendy. i “WE WTTiT, BE WONDERING WHO THE 4000th ITE WILL BE BEFORE DONG.” SAYS “SWEET JENNY LEE.’’ Dear Wendy,—Once again I take my pen and ink to drop you a few lines. The weather has been very changeable lately. We went for a very long ride in the car the other day, but oh! I do - wish the Weather Clerk had given us i a fine day, because it was very wet, but - having a closed-in car it wasn’t so • bad. Well, Wendy, 1 think you must i be proud of all your Ites, especially • the 3000th one. I don’t suppose it will - be long before w’e will be wondering who will be the lucky 4000th Ite? J have often wondered what C.W.K. and - M.W.L. means. Wasn’t that a lovely > poem that “The Mysterious Lover” sent in? I have been learning it. Doesn’t “Princess Betty,” Laughing Lilac,” and “Lily of Laguna’’ write ’ lovely letters? I always read their let- ’ ters first of all. Well, Wendy, there isn’t much news about here these . times; in fact, I generally say that. I am ever your loving Ite —“SWEET _ JENNY LEE,” Puke Ite. , The weather here has been change able, too. Goodness, but what a loevly car-ride you went. Our Hut is stead ‘ ily growing, and one day we shall he , all be ever so excited when our 4000th x Ite knocks at the door and says, “Here I am Ites!” I’ll remind your penfriends. C.W.K. means Custodian of ' the Wendy Key, while M.W.L. means j Monitor of the Wendy Letterbox. Our Ites do write interesting letters indeed —Wendv. 1 i “MY, WHAT AN HONOUR!” " EXCLAIMS DEAR ‘ ‘ TAHUNA' ’ t Dear Wendy,—Once again I take up 3 my trusty pen, the end of which is very s well-chewed, and write to you. First i of all. I must thank*you for putting on - the Notice Board my request for the i words of those songs. The other day •. “Wood Violet” kindly rang me up on I the 'phone, and we had quite a long t chat about the Waverley Show, and -, one thing and another. At the show . we were lucky enough to gain two firsts and a second in the vegetables, ? which were all we entered for. - “Bonzo's” and “The Hut’s Bride’s” - mother won the points prize in the e home industries. Don’t you think tliat :1 was splendid, Wendy? “The Hut’s e Bride” was also very successful in e gfche cooking. Have 'you been to the k talkies lately? The last one I went to y wae “Transatlantic.” I would have v loved to have seen that picture. “The h Champ.” I would give anything to y see “Rich Man's Folly.” It is taken - from that famous book “Dombey and l- Son,” isn’t it. I read the book years ago, and I thought it was beautiful. r , Three cheers for “Fairy Rose.” Fancy e her being the Hut’s first member. My! k what an honour. I will close now. I ,t am yours forever, now and ever.— II “TAHUNA,” Waverley. n How jolly to have you in our midst i. this week,* dear. I began to wonder r. if old Mr. ’Flu Germ had paid you a iv visit. I am so pleased to hear of so 1. many successes among Ites of our clan, h that is splendid. I do not go very y often to the talkies now unless it is b, one that is specially recommended. — Wendy.
