THE CIRCUS. Dear Peter Pan, —This week I am going to ;ell you about Wlrth’s Circus. I went to see it in To Aroha last Monday night. 'There was a big crowd, and a number of my little school mates were there. The elephant led the parade. There were Polar bears, monkeys, huge lions, elephants, zebras, hyaenas and little ponies. I liked the little ponies the best or all the animals. The Polar bears were doing all sorts of funny tricks. They were pushing a bear in a pram and givin ganotlier one a drink from a botte. One of the elephants picked up a lady In its trunk ana took it over to the men. There were clowns; they were very funny and made the people laugh. I arrived home at half-past eleven, very tired next morning. Mother said I could stay home from school. After a rest in bed 1 decided to go to school.— Clifford Parker (7), Te Aroha. The circus sounds huge fun, Clifford, and you must have found it most interesting. Well done on winning your Second Honours Board Card.—Peter Pan.

It was the swimming :: carnival hero yesterday, hut I didn’t go. 1 jiy father and mother have gone away for a few days. My two brothers, my sister and I are on our own. 1 rather like my lather and mother being away. We can do as we like, then. Bonny is doing welt now She eats plenty of grass and has started to drink by herself. I have sent a snap of Tiny, Bloss and Bonny. They re not very good as the light got in when they were getting developed. I’m with Tiny but I can’t be seen. The person who took these photos has promised to take some more when they have another film ? in the camera. A boy ‘ that lives three 1 miles out rode down yesterday to see If my brother would go to tho swimming carnival with him. I asked him for his horse while lie was away. Another girl had her hike and I had the horse, so we went for a ride. It’s a lovely horse to ride, and plenty or “ go.” It was my father’s birthday yesterday. On Thursday it’s my sister’s birthday and she’ll be 11.—“ Silvery Waves,” Otorohanga. The photos were such jolly ones, Olwyn and we hope they reach you quite safely.
