“There’s Hordes and Hordes of Them After Me,” says “Mother Of Four.”

Dear Wendy,—Please let me in quick, and shut the door! Oh, do give me some aspros and some hot milk. They are all after me. Hordes and horues of them! Ah, that is better. Thsnk you, Wendy. Of what am I afraid? Why, all my co-Ites! They are threatening me with dreadful th : ngs and all because I learned to swim. I am really afraid to open the Wordy page because of the dreadful tin c ates tht have been macle. Well now, “Bell Tea,” what about it. How about beating you to the length of the baths? I would dearly love to, and “Cuddles’ Chum,” the baths are stir, there and no tidal wave has been reported yet. “Big Sister,” are you still amused at my “stifficite” having pride of place on the kitchen mantelpiece? Well, it has gone one better now because it has been framed in a nice gold frame. “Yellow Rose of Texas,” I am In the Hut with Wendy taking care of me and you are looking for a riot. I have a pair of beautiful lighted candles, Wendy, with candlesticks to match, proved popular. Yes, “Happy Harry” .’r fi.in \\ anganui in his reference to ivendytown.” He used the nameDiacc. without intention to deprive our owl “Wer.dyiown” of its premier position. It is good to see you so stoutly defend Ohingaiti's privilege. 1 wonder how oui wliic-a-bid ’ fares these day.s?’ it is indeed an age since 1 had word from her. We had the same changeable weather hm-e, too. I hope, 100, those stories will prove not only interesting but im.truclive as well. My warmest regards.—Wendy.

and these candles unless actually broken, will always shed their golden light, and yet “Yellow Rose of Texas” suggests I use them to find my way to the Hut. Goodness, if I went to the Hut displaying them I don’t know what would happen, especially if “Our Litile Boy” were there. Even our mere reserved “Bell Tea” might be moved from his usual calm. Well, I haven’t actually seen “0.L.8.” making scones, but have heard lie is quite good at them, and also at making sponge cakes. I have seen him drying dishes. In fact, he is quite : n expert at that, I would suggest, that you put your “stifficate” or the windshield of your car so that we may all look and admire. "Tea Caddy,” where are you these days? Well, Wendy, as I don’t feel quite so frightened now I think I will go and have a practice swim so that I may beat “Bel 1 Tea'* on the length of the baths swim. So ! cheerio everybody. Love From ! “MOTHER OF FOUR,” M.W.L., | Hunterville. Oh, but what a start you gave me, dear. I thought something dreadful, like the old Witch, was after you. Sir Richard will keep our boisterous Ites from ragging you about your swimming accomplishments. I do think it wonderful that you have gained your certificate. Bravo! and you may know I am immensely proud of you. One of these days we must have “0.L.8.” bake some scones in the Wendy Hut kitchen, then we will all be able to see how well he succeeds, wont’ we?—Wendy.
