“BRIGHT BLUE HEAVEN’’ POPS IN JUST TO SAY CHEERIO.
Dear Wendy,— 1. hope you haven't forgotten me. When wo went to the sports “Little Cloud-maid” won a camera. We are milking three cows and have only two pigs to feed. We are having very line weather now. Nearly all of our family have colds. Our Jamb is quite big now and so is the calf. 1 haven’t much news this time, Wendy. I will dose now. Best love to you and all the Itos. I m i.-t go and have my dinner and then wash up the dishes. —I remain, vour lov;a ; Ite, “BRIGHT BLUE HEAVEN,” C.W.K., Wainui. No, dear, 1 have not forgotten you, but 1 could not help but wonder how you fared of late. How lovely to hear that “Little Cloudmaid” won a prize at the show. I hope old Mr. Tin Gorin soon goes away. He is an old scamp. The Jambs and calves soon grow up, don’t they?—Wendy. “WHAT HAS BECOME OF ‘THE PHANTOM' ASKS “NEXTBESTEK.” Dear Wendy, —I Hope you had a very happy Easter. What wonderful weather we had after all. Of course, we really did deserve it, after what we have been enduring, i cannot say “enduring in silence. ” Wendy, 1 did love our Padre’s Easter message, it was oue of those little talks that just gets in under the skin; so simple, yet so eloquent. -Old Gran” has also been honouring us lately. How her letters must be loved by the Tinies. And “Madcap” was with us lo Easter. Just as well that encounter with Bovril was no worse, “Madcap,’’ or you may not have been with us lor Easter. Wendy, whatever has become of “The Phantom” and those other lies who used to write such “stunning” letters? Surely they have not faded away? How very promt our “Wanderlust” must feel being a real live authoress. How lovely it must be, Wendy, to see your name on the cover of a book of your own creation. We have some brains in our clan, have we not, Wendy? 1 wonder that “Madcap’’ does not try her hand (or should I say pen) at a book. How about it, “Madcap”? By the way, there was a “Madcap” won a prize in the last art union. 1 wonder was it our “Madcap” of the magic pen. Well, Wendy, 1 must leave some space for the Tmics, so cheerio. Much love.—From “NEXT BESTER,” M.W.L., Forde) I. Many thanks, dear, J. spent a very happy Easter and I trust you did also. It is really lovely to have those of our old clan with us again, isn't it? We can never have too many letters from them, can we? 1 cannot understand what can have become of those favourites you mention. Perhaps they will soon re-visit us now that the winter evenings are at hand. I. have Jong tried to persuade our “Madcap” to write, but one may lead a gee-gee to water but one cannot make it drink. Write again soon, won't you?—Wendy. “LITTLE CLOUDMAID” AFTER LONG ABSENCE RETURNS TO LETTERLAND. Dear Wendy,—Here 1 am again after a long time. I won a camera at the Taihape sports and have taken quite a lot of snaps with it. We have only one little pig now. Our lamb has grown quite big now. We tried to get a snap of the calf, but it was too late. “Blue Bells of Scotland” is working in Taihape, she came home last Suu day night and then went back again. 1 hope you are quite well.—l remain your loving Ite, “LITTLE CLOUD MAID,” U.W.K., Wainui. Oh, yes, dear, “ Bright Blue Heaver.” told mo you had won a prize at the show. I think you were very lucky, indeed. The lambs soon grow up, don’t they? Will you give “Blue Bells oi Scotland” my regards and best wishes, please? Now, do write again soon, won’t you.’—Wendy. “LITTLE SHEPHERDESS” POPS IN AND SPRINGS JOLLY SURPRISE. Dear Wendy,—l suppose you wonder who this is, don’t you? Thank you very much for putting my birthday in the paper. Did you put “Mountain Bell's” birthday in, too? Our school teacher has a little daughter. Yesterday we had to walk to school because our pony was lame. My brother has two pigeons. With love to you and all the lites.—From “LITTLE SHEPHERDESS,” C.W.K., Ohingaiti. Goodness, gracious me! Wherever did you spring from? I had almost given you up for lost. 1 hope you spent a happy time and received lots of lovely gifts on your birthday. 1 hope the pony is soon able to be ridden. Pigeons are lovely birds, aren’t they?—Wendy.
