ISN'T SPRING APPROACHING QUICKLY,” SAYS "ARRARWA

Dear Wendy.—-At last 1 have settled down to write once more, after being absent for many months. Well, V endy, although I have not been writing I always read your page on which I see many interesting letters. Isn’t spring approaching quickly, now? Wc 11 have many spring flowers out in bloom now and really the garden is a beautiful sight. Last Sunday week I was out riding with my eldest brother in the paddocks. We were jumping logs and an old broken down fence- Unfortunately for me my pony’s foot got caught in the wire and over he fell and I was thrown a few yards, but was not hurt. The pony had a larger fright than myself. AU the sympathy I got from my brother was that he sat on his pony and roared with laughter. Weil, Wendy, by the letters you have received from me in the past you will see that luck is never with me. All our cows are in now and I have to get up at five o ’•clock to help milk them. Well, I must say cheerio for now as I must go to bed to be ready for the cows in the morning—From “ARARAW A 11,” Ngutuwera.

Delighted to have your welcome letter, dear. I began to wonder what had happened to you. But then you may easily have boen injured during your fall from the pony. You must- have a care. How early to arise- It must be at about daybreak.—Wendy.

SIR WEATHER CLERK’S PROMISES Folk of Make-believe Laud. — There are countless of you who will think ill of me, I know, for sending such weather during the winter months, but I feel you will forgive and forget now that it is my pleasant duty to send you only glorious sunshine to warm you cool breezes in case the sun is too hot and long days in which to play. Lots of you grumble when it rains, but then if there was no rain you would want for water to drink and that would be worse, I fear, than all the wet days, wouldn’t it? However, summer days are ahead and I will perform my duty to the best of my ability and trust to please, if not all, as many as I can. Signed: SIR WEATHER CLERK. If the alphabet were invited out, when would U, V, W, Y and Z arrive? —After T. Why do black sheep eat less than white?—Because there are fewer of them.
