ENTER “THE JAY”

I SURPRISE AND MYSTERY IN STORE FOR BULLS ’ITES. /> Dear Wendy, I would like to join your wonderful Hut, and be one \ of your happy Wendyites. You see, Wendy, I would like to fly around V and know them all, for they are such a jolly family. Recently I sat on 7) the school fence to see the children bound out of school at 3 o’clock on A We “<}y. when the bell rang there was a shuffle of books V and feet, then out bounded a girl swinging a bag of books, and as she G> raced past me her long plaits of blonde hair were streaming behind her /) blue eyes were merry with delight, as her laughing lips exclaimed - ‘‘lh \ no school till Monday. I’m free!” Now, Wendy, I though that must 0 be “Laughing Waterlady,” for I know she has lovely hair She went 7) away so quickly that when I had finished looking for other Wendyitcs A she had disappeared. And do yot»know, Wendy, that I could not” dis- X cover “Lover of Flowers,” for 1 looked for a” girl with a bunch of Q flowers or a button-hole. Perhaps if I watch the gardens and see who 7) is tending the plants “she” may be a “boy” after all. Good-bye for \ now, Wendy, and could I have for my pen-name—“THE JAY,” Bulls. V v Welcome to the Wendy Hut. It is very wonderful to have you in Q 0 our clan, and I am sure your entry into the ranks will be but the be- A A ginning of a great deal of fun, for our Bulls brigade in particular. What * X a mystery you will be for no one will be able to tell from all the birds V (J that may be about which is “The Jay.” The pen-name you asked for (/ n is in use, so I have given you the one nearest,’ I will expect a visit from 7) A you again very soon.—Wendy. y
