“TLL ASK MY SISTER IF SHE TASTED 'O-L-Bs.’ SCONES,” SAYS "SERGEANT DAN’S PAL”

Dear Wendy,—May I come in for a few moments to speak to my co-Ites? “Dawn,” are your initials P.Mc. and do you live next door to "Princess Julia I”? If so I know you very well and you know me. How is your boyfriend who rides round on a motorcycle? "Our Little Boy,” are your initials W.C.? My sister knows your family well. I shall ask if she tasted your famous scones. Well, Wendy, I have great news for you. “Weeping Red Wing,” my sister is getting married shortly, I wish her lots of luck and happiness, don’t you? “Sergeant Dan,” have you got over he spill you had from your cycle on Sunday night. I hope you didn't get hurt; it would be too bad. Well, dear, Wendy, I must close until next week. From your loving Ite.—“SERGEANT DAN’S PAL.” Rata. Yes, dear, do come in for I am so pleased to have you with us again. So "0.L.8’5.” famous scones are still remembered? I'll have to ask him to bake me some. I wonder if he would. I hope, too, our "5.D.” did not meet with injury.—Wendy. "SPRING WILL SOON BE TAPPING ON THE DOOR,” SAYS “JUNITA” Dear Wendy,—lt has been rather warm here the last few days. How are you, “Jean of the Woods”? Is it true you have a nick-name? Spring will soon be tapping on the door now. Well, Wendy, there’s not much news in Mataroa this week.—l remain, yours truly, “JUNITA." Mataroa. After the cold spell the warmer days came as a very welcome respite, didn’t they? I think this winter has been considerably severer than any 1 can remember for some years. I hope the spring will not be long now.—Wendy.

“WE HAVE HAD VERY HEAVY FALLS OF SNOW,” SAYS “VALENCIAESS”

Dear Wendy,—lt is such a long time since I wrote to you. I am very sorry I did not.write sooner. We have had very heavy falls of snow. We did hope that the snow would clear up the weather. There are a large number of children with the measles at present and I do hope they soon get rid of them. We will soon have baby lambs on our farms. I had better close now for I think that is all I have to say.—l remain, “VALENCIAESS,” Mataroa. I am so pleased, dear, to have a visit from you after your long absence. I began to wonder if I should ever hear from you again. Oh, dear, how cold it must have been during the snow falls. The measles epidemic has been severe but I notice the peak has been reached and we ought to hear soon of everyone so affected out of Sick Bay. The lambs are dears, aren't they?—Wendy.
