PETER PAN’S LETTER.

TYEAR GIRLS AND BOYS,— What a merry crowd It was sailed on the IVlanuwal last Tuesday for tho Waikato Heads! Tho river boat was well fined with little people, all In the highest spirits, and full of anticipation of tho happy weeks of holiday In front of them. The trip down the river must have boon very enjoyable, with the banks on either side freshly green, and tho swift flow of the river carrying them ever nearer their destination. Wo hope that Clrole members In the party will write and tell us afl about their visit there.

Poter spoke a little too soon last week about Summer oomlng at last, didn’t he? As ho wrote, tho day was gloriously hot and sunny, and It seemed that the dull days must really havo gone. But not sol The week-end was frantic, wasn’t It? Peter hopes to have better luck with this one. He has no news for you again this week— Hamilton has been very dull again, with everyone away—lsn’t our post box tiny again this week? Good-bye for the present.

ieizx,

A GREAT TIME. Dear Peter Pan, —First of all I must tell you about tho great time we had last week. It was time for the lambs to go away to the ireeztng works In Auckland, so my sister and 1 decided we would help to drive them to tho station. We leit about six o’clock In the morning and the train did not go until 5 at nigut, but jis lambs are so slow to drive, and we had 5$ miles to 'go, we were sure of good time. Down our road the lamibs got in everybody’s fields and in the swamps, but otherwise they went very, well, and wo arrived at the station about two hours before we expected, and were very pleased. Jean and I rode our horses home, while the men stayed to truck the lambs. We were very pleased, but tired arter our long clay.—Madge Carruth (13), Okoroire. A busy jQurney It must have been, driving the lambs to the station, Madge. If you write to Mavis and send it to Peter, he will forward it;— .peter Pan.

THE CREEK FLOODED.

Dear Peter Pan, —It was raining very, hard on Saturday and our creek was flooded, and the ducks had some fun too.. We bad a very dreary and wet New Years Day, didn’t we, Peter? How many points have I towards an Honours Board, Peter? Bone is having a bad time in the water; I wonder what is going to happen to Johnny, Joan and Rub-eye, now Biddy has burst the balloon with trying to perch on It. one of our weaned calves ran through the creek to-day, and my cousin pvt it In the cair yard, but it jumped the gate; then it got through tho fence, then it went back through the creek again. Havo you got any carnations at home, Peter? We have some lovely ones. —“Golden Daffodil’ (8), Karapiro.

Well done on winning your first Honours Board Card, Mavis; you didn’t take long. What a frisky calf you have. Yes, Peter has some lovely carnations at home this season.—Peter Pan.
