You may have the penname you have asked for. Write again soon, won’t you?—Wendy. Dear Wendy, May I. join the Wendy Hut and become a member of your large band ol Ites? Now that' "Mr. Hippiewater” has joined 1 feel that his son-in-law needs a servantj and I would like to fulfil the appointment in the pen-name of "Frank Watanobe." Raetihi and Ohakune seem to be well in the columns of your page, but I am sure we do not mean to be greedy, but just call on you to have a quiet chat. 1 wonder where “Xylocephous" found her name? I'm sure if 1 had looked for months I could not. have found one to suit her “ladyship” so well. 1 think 1 am educated enough to understand its meaning and to also become tongue-tied as to the details. 1 think all members of a certain class-room, in which I have spent many, many pleasant hours of drudgery, owe gratitude to the “little red tin” "Mr. Hippiewater” speaks of as it certainly saves many painfully silent moments. (Here’s to the “little *ed tin.”) Well, Wendy, as there are more Ites to till your page with their letters I will leave the Land of Make-believe. - From "FRANK WATANOBE," Raetihi. Welcome to lhe Wendy Hut, my dear. I am delighted to have you in our jolly clan. You may have the pen-name you have asked lor.

Dear Wendy,—What a very interesting hobby I have let pass by mx (as I thought) watchful eyes: that ol writing to, and digesting the contents of, your very interesting page. De you think you could find a tiny space for me to enter the "Land of Makebelieve” under the pen-name of "Teashop Tilly”? Perhaps you wonder al my choosing, but really it is verj easily explained. You see, Wendy, tc partake of a cup of tea and something in the way of food, is a neverending delight to me. Please do not think me one of those persons whe live to eat. Oh no, I enjoy my tes most after a long tramp, or some other exertion. I admit the pen-name does not sound as imposing as "Xylocephalous," but then I think il brings forth a pleasing picture of liner and dainty china, in contrast to me solid vision we have of “Xylocephalous.” Did 1 say solid? Well, I mear it. I suppose I can consider mysell educated, having found out what youi pen-name means, “Xylocephalous”; is that not so? What an interesting person "Mr. Hippiewater” must be, anc fancy having a son-in-law. I wondei if this is her (or his> second childhood? On further reading I see that "Mr. Hippiewater’ ’knows about the red tin with the ghastly coloured lid Well, well, my dear “Hippiewater,” 1 may at some future date have the utmost pleasure in becoming acquainted with your charming personage. In • hurt, this is not improbable, as wc apparently live near each other. Also just a little warning "Mr. Hippiewater.” Are you sure that it is “Grey Ghostess” who is friendly with cooks ierhaps it’s one of the girls who, with a rattle and roar, breaking all speed records on their bicycles, pass me every morning as I am making my way to my daily occupation. Well Wendy, 1 must close. Hoping you will let me enter into the merry land of Make-believe. -Your sincerely, "TEASHIP TILLY.” Welcome to the Wendy Hut. my dear. I am delighted to have you in aur cheery ranks. Why, of course there’s plenty of room for you. You may have the pen-name, too. Pop in again soon because I am sure we are going to find your visits not only refreshing, but interesting also.- Wendy, Deal’ Wendy.—" Mother Hen” has persuaded me to join your merry elan, which I want to very much.

"Mother Hen” is working very hard to gain new members for our Land of Make-believe. I have given you "Dollie Moo-Cow” for your pen-name as the one you ask for s in use.—Wendy’. Dear Wendy,—May I join your band of lies? May my pen-name be “Silver Bells”? I am pleased to be able o write to you. I will close now because news is scarce. So cheerio.

Do lomo and see us again soon, won’t

Dear Wendy,—After reading today’s Hut and "Mr. Hippiewater’s” letter I decided to join your merry band as “Cynthia Hippiewater.’’ I often listen-in to the "Incidents in the | Lives of the Japanese House-boy and his Employer” and I find them very I interesting. Have you heard any of them, Wendy? "Eb and Zeb” arc also [very entertaining. As I have not been very well lately I am propped up in bed writing this, but I hope to be alright again in a few days. How interesting it must have been to see the railcar, "Beetle Billy.” It passed through Ohakune, nine miles from here, but as we are not on the main line we did not see it. Yes, “Peter Pan II." I get just as much fun out of travelling and sight-seeing as you do, and as I have visited both Auckland and Rotorua I can see all the places you have mentioned quite dearly. It takes some time for one to forget such sights, does it not? Well, Wendy, as this is my first visit to letterland I will sign off for the present. Best wishes to yourself for the Ites.From "CYNTHIA HIPPLEWATER,” Raetihi. Welcome to the Wendy Hut. my dear. My goodness, but what a host of new readers there are this week. I listen-in to most of the series and I .like them immensely. You may have Ihe pen-name you have asked for. I am so sorry to hear you are in Sick | Bay. A speedy recovery, dear. Pop in again soon, won't you? -Wendv • • Dear Wendy, -“Mother Hen" has [just asked me to join your Wendy' I Hut. Max' I? I will he so glad Io join it. May my pen-name be “Blue Tomtit''? Love.-—From “BLUE TOMTIT," Taupo. Welcome to our Wendy Hut. my dear. I am ever so pleased to have you enter our ranks from Taupo. You are the lirst member to join from there. I have given you the penname of “Blue Tomtit." Write again soon, won't you?—Wendy. Dear Wendy. I noticed "Mr. Hippiewater" mentioned his future son-in-law “Archibald" in lhe Hut page, and I thought perhaps I could fill that position, so long as no one else has already done so. Please. Wendy, may I. have the pen-name, "The Honourable Archibald Chisclhorry”? "Cynthia" isn’t really as bad as she is said to be, but I wish I had not changed my mind about being a bachelor. They I really were happy days. So you thought the “clattering red tin" was a secret, did you. “Mr. Hippiewater"? Pardon me, hut I'm afraid not, for it has even reached my cars—the story I mean- not the clattering. However, I wish I knew the secret of “Pining I Prunella," as everyone seems to have enough to say about her. It seems wc are getting a few humans to mix wilh our ghostess, fairies, elves, beelies birds and flowers, Wendy. I wonder who will happen along next? "Xylocephalous." J must agree with you about "girlish traits hidden by masculine pen-names." as I am sure there arc many who try Io do so- mind you, I say "try." I do hope we can have the two pages, so many Iles have asked about now that file Hut is livening up again. After all. one page is not very much for 3944 Ites. I find "Orient s Eastward Ho!" very interesting indeed. He was very lucky to have such a trip, wasn't he, Wendy? You say the wattle trees are already out down your way, "Pond Lily"? How lovely! I love the wattles; they are not out here yet, but I hope they will be shortly as there lis one just near here and it is very (beautiful. Well, Wendy, as this is my first attempt I will leave you for the [present. Love to yourself and Ites. From "THE HONOURABLE ARCHIBALD CHISELBERRY." Raetihi. Oh, but what: fun this is! Why, our Land of Make-believe will soon be full of all tho popular radio people who delight up with their fun and frolics. You may have the pen-name. Do write again soon, won't you?—
