“I DO HOPE THE NEXT THREE MONTHS WILL FLY.” EXCLAIMS WORTHY “COWS.”

Dear Wendy,—l feel very much flattered at being chosen as one of a few to tell our Tinies stories. Somehow, I felt that if I attempted one long story I would make it rather “dry,” so 1 am sending you two short ones. They both contain a moral. The first one is a lesson for us all, but the second is one for the “bigger boys.” Winter is here again. Oh. gee! But I hope the next three months will fly and we’ll be experiencing warmer mornings and nights again. Everyone is complaining of colds and sore throats and the whole atmosphere is miserable. I’m in no mood for writing long letters, especially after finishing my little stories, so will bid you au revoir. With verv best wishes.—From ‘ ‘ COWS, ’ ’ M.W.L . Bulls. Well, I thought, dear, that no one could be bettor chosen to tel] our clan a story than yourself, and .1 am pleased beyond measure to have you grant my request. It is good of you. ,The time will soon pa.ss by and the sunnv days return. It is strange how we look forward to the hot days when wo have the very days wc wish for then with us now, isn’t it? Mr. ’Flu Germ is as busy as the proverbial hoe. isn’t he? I have been extremely fortunaite so far in managing to evade the old monster. Do write again soon, won’t you?—Wendy, “AND OH! HOW JOLLY IT WILL BE!” EXCLAIMS “MISS GREATFORD. ’ ’ My Dearest Wendy,—Thank you kindly for putting my request on the Notice Board. I do hope 1 can soon obtain a pen-pal. and I also thank you, dear Wendy, for congratulating me on my penmanship; it is very nice of vou, dear. I am pleased you received the violets alright, and I sincerely hope they were not too withered when you received them. What, glorious weather we arc having at present, aren’t we? 1 suppose you are getting the same lovely, sunny days as wc arc here. It is lovely to think that spring, with her beautiful cloak of sunshine, will bo with us before very long, and with her all the lovely bulbs, which already have started to peep above the ground. And oh! How jolly it will be to see the dear wee lambs prancing and frolieing about the green fields, in their games with one another. 1 do love to see them, don’t you. ’Wendy? Well, I must not take up too much of your precious space, so will close now with heaps of love to you and all the lies From your ever-true He, “MISS GREATFORD.’’ Greatford. Oh, if you read our “Rainbow Fairy’s letter you will see that she is able to supply you with a pen-pal in South Africa. Yes, thoughts of spring make one even pardon Jack Frost and old King Winter himself. I think winter makes us appreciate the golden days of spring and summer, doesn’t it? Lambs! —the very symbol of spring itself. I shall louk forward to your next letter.—Wendy. “GOLDEN RAJN” FOPS IN FOR MOMENT’S CHAT. iDcar Wendy,—Here I am again, writing to you. Thank you for the C.W.K. 1 do not know whether the wild passionfruit will grow from seed or cuttings, but you could try them both. We have been having nice weather lately. Mother is knitting me a red jumper .just at present. We have a puppy whose name is King and he has torn a largo hole in his side and it, looks dreadful. The other day our teacher and I. went for a seven-niile walk. Wendy, I. heard that you still had badges. If you have would you kindly let me know. I am going for a ride on Sunday with my brother. Next time I write L will'tell you all about it. As there is no more news I will close now. With love.— From “GOL DEN RAIN.” C.W.K., Maugamahu So pleased to have your letter, dear. I have saved some of the weed and also placed some cuttings to see if they will strike root. I hope 1. have some success. Oh, dear, but what can have happened to the poor puppy. 1 hope the wound is very soon healed. No, dear, there have been no badges for a long time now. Most of us use a blue and gold rosette.—Wendy. “IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE SOME OF THE OLDER ITES WRITING AGAIN,” SAYS “THE DUPLI CATE DUKE’S SWEET HEART.” IDcar Wendy,—l have just been reading our page and thinking how wonderful it is to s6e some of the older Ites writing and every week brings some of them back. “Weneti’s” letter was very nice and I also enjoyed “Wood Violet’s” story—it must have taken some thinking out. 1 received a nice letter from “Derek Maisfield.” Thank you for posting my letter on so promptly. Our cows have dried off now, so we are having a spell. I was in. town for the night last week-end. I went to football in the afternoon and to a dance in the evening and came home next day. 1 enjoyed the outing very much. It’s about time we bad another small shake: there has not been one for a while. Well. Wendy, I’l} end this scribble. With kind regards to all.—From “THE DUPLT.UAT 1) UK E’« S W EETHI i A KT, ’ ’ C.W.K., Wanganui River. It was lovely indeed to have some of our older clan with us, wasn’t it? 1 hope more of them will often pop in. I am pleased the letter reached you safely and that you will become great pen-pals. You did spend a happy weekend, didn’t you? Oh, please! No more ’quakes!—Wendy. “I ASK ALL OHUTU. UTIKU AND TAIHAPE ITES TO WRITE,” SAYS “WOOD FAIRYITE.” Dear Wendy,—Tap! Tap! Can you guess who is knocking at the door? Well, “Wood Fairyite” is here! I hope you will excuse me for not writ ing to you for such a long time, but I hope to write more regularly from now on. What is the weather like in Wanganui, Wendy? It is very cold up here and I think it will snow. The Omatane Ites seem to have woken up and

are beginning to write again. Now, 1 ask all Ohutu, Utiku and Taihape Ites to hurry up and write, especially the “Old Brigade.” and make the page more interesting. The gardens are looking very dull now, aren’t they. Wendy? Well, I think I will close now as it is bedtime. Please excuse me for writing in pencil and* on the back of the sheet. Good-bye for now.—l remain. vour loving Ite, “ WOO’D FAIRY- ■ ITE,” Ohutu. 1 cou:dn’t guess who was knocking fer a moment or two, but I soon knew who it was when you popped your ’ merry smile round the door, dear. 1 ’ am so pleased to have you in our 1 midst this eLtterland Day. 1 hope our Ites will respond to your request, because so many seem to have wan- - dered away, don’t they? Never mind, - the warm days will soon return now • and the gardens will respond to the ’ magical touch of spring. Our world 1 appears drear when then are no flowers, doesn’t it?—Wendy. i
