“L.O.F.' SAYS SHE HAS DISCOVERED THE JAY’S’ IDENTITY,” SAYS "DADDY’S POPPET.

Dear Wendy—Here is your happy Ite once again. 1 suppose you re thinking I've deserted you. but still 1 wouldn t forget our happy Land o. Make-believe. I was talking to Lover of Flowers" the other day and she said she had found out who "The Jay is but stili I don't know. I m gettin» reallv puzzled over it. Our institute had a fancy and hard-up dance and 1 won the prize for the best fancy dress. I haven't seen "Laughing Waterlady for a long time. I didn't think she could ride a horse so well. When daddv and mother came home from their' holiday they bought a little fox terrier home and he was lovely, but now he's at the mischievous age and he's alwavs in trouble. Mother discovered her fowls disappearing one day and the next day I found one of her best black fowls under a tree. About a week after my cousin and sister got up before us and they found the dog with another fowl. Another time we caught him just in time. There are three more missing so we blame him. Another day my cousin found him trying to kill the neighhour's ducks. One day when Irish Molleo" was home mother found an old piece of lace curtain (or what she thought was old) outside and she thought it was the children's doll s rug so she burnt it and soon “Irish Molleo" came out looking very surprised and said, where’s the curtain out of our room and it suddenly dawned on mother that, it was a piece she had burnt. Can you imagine it, Wendy, but the dog had pulled at. the curtain till he had got it, then he tore it up. Have you seen “Little Lord Fauntleroy?’’ It was beaut it ful. This is all the news I have. Wendy, so l’h close now. Lots of love and kisses.— From “DADDY'S POPPET,” C.W.K., Bulls. No. dear. I know you will never leave our clan or ever forget, us. I am so pleased to have your welcome letter. I wonder if “L.0.F.” is right’; Bravo! lam glad you won the prize. Oh. but what a puppy' I expect young Fido will be rather severely dealt with if he continues to offend. I saw the picture and thought it truly great. —Wendy. •I DON’T 1 EEL A BIT GROWNUP," SAYS “DUPLICATE DUKE’S SWEETHEART." Dear Wendy.—l hardly know how to start off after not having written to you for so Jong. I fully expect a good talking to. I'm sure you could hear my knees knocking if they were wooden. However, I’ll just hope for the best. Anyway, I’m going to lay the blame on you this time, Wendy, because it. really was your fault in the first place. One of these days perhaps I’ll explain that. Now I must thank you very much for my birthday greetings. It was nice of you to think of me. I had quite a happy day. Twenty years old now and I don't feel a bit grown-up, yet everyone expects one to be. Rather a miserable position. Do you remember having an Ite named “Curfew”? We write to each other and always remember each other's birthdays. She is in Feilding now. I’ve been busy knitting and doing fancy work this last few months. It's about the only way to pass time these wet days. There's lots to do in the garden if only it would keep line. Well, Wendy, I'll try and write sooner next time, if you'll have me. Best wishes to ail. - From “THE DUPLICATE DUKE'S SVv EETHEART,” Wanganui River. Why, no, dear, 1 am so pleased to have your welcome letter that I could not scold you. Goodness gracious. 20 years old! Dear old “Curfew." It is so long ago that I cannot remember when our Ite wrote last. Will you give her my love, please? Knitting and fancy work are two very fine pastimes, indeed.—Wendy. Dear Wendy.—“ Stranger's Grandaughter" has asked me to join the Wendy Hut. May I join your happy band in Make-believe Land and have for my pen-name “Sunflower”? Love. - From “SUNFLOWERITE.” Gonville. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. I am sorry, but I have had to give you “Sunflowerite" for you penname as “Sunflower” is in use. I hope you will not mind.—Wendy.
