Interest in Frog Pond

Dear Wendy,—l hope there is room! in your happy band of Ites for one more as I would like to join. I would j like “The Gangster G-Man” for my ’ pen-name. I read the letters every week and find them most interesting. I think I know “Princess Julia” and "Sergeant Dan s Pal,” but I am not quite sure. "Sergeant Dan," it is high time you wrote again. “Teki,” are your initials P.M.? 1 have an idea they are. Well, I must close, with love.—From "THE GANGSTER G-MAN,” Marton. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. You may have the pen-name you have asked for. It is rather fearsome, but as it is just Make-Believe, I think we may allow it to pass. I am pleased you find our page interesting. Do pop in again soon, won’t you? —Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—Here is another Ite seeking admission. Is there a tiny scrap of room for me? I am so big, so will only need a corner, but near a window where I can look out. Now, Ites, get your thinking caps on and find out who I am. It won’t be hard. "Sinister Ray,” how are you? I saw you on Sunday, also “Maid of the Mist” and “Purple Cloak II.” May I have “Dashing Flapper” for my penname? Love to all the Ites.—From "DASHING FLAPPER,” Rata.

Welcome to the W’endy Hut, my dear. How pleased I am to have you in our midst. I think I can find just such a place for you. I wonder how long ere your identity is discovered? —Wendv.

Dear Wendy,—May I join your large family? I hope you are well, as I am. Isn’t the weather nice? I know some of the Ites. Start guessing, Ites, who I may be. I am a very nice person when I am asleep says “Purple Cloaks I and II.” How are you “Teki” “Spudpicker,” “Speed Demons,” and the “Gypsies Twins." Oh! and not forgetting “Always Guessing.” I saw you the other night, “Happy Lassi.” Love to all the Ites. May I have “Miss Discovery” for my pen-name.— From “MISS DISCOVERY,” Rata.

Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. I am ever so pleased to have you enter our ranks of boys and girls. I wonder who will be the first to discover who you are? I have given you the pen-name of "Miss Discovery.”— Wendy.

Dear Wendy,—Another stranger at your door asking to be allowed to join your happy band of Ites. I already knows some of your clan. May I have ‘Annabella,’ for my pen-name? 1 hope you had a good time while on your holiday, Wendy. Hasn’t the weather been hot lately. Lots of people have been wanting rain for a long time, especially the farmers. Well, Wendy, I must close now as it is my first letter. With lots of love.— From “ANNABELLA II,” Rata. Welcome to the Wendy Hut, my dear. How lovely of you to join our merry clan. I have given you the pen-name you have asked for with a Might addition. Thank you, I enjoyed every moment of my holiday. Rain would be very welcome indeed. — Wendy.
