IN A NEW HOME. npar Pptcr Pan. —We nave shifted into a new house Igo to Hamilton Bast school now. We arc having our examination now and I don’t Know whether x am l to pass or not. There Is no garden around the house, but there are a few trees which irive a bit of shade. It has not been a ver> nice day to-day, has It? for it has been raining all the time. Opposite our place ] there is a house which has been burnt I down bv a lire. Have you been to the talkies yet?—“ Dell,” Hamilton East. _ Wo are so glad to get J 6 “ Doll.” Do you like your new home better than the one at Tamahere?— Peter Pan. AN INTERESTING LETTER. Dear Peter Pan.—The weather has turned so cold. Yesterday when we were I m Te Aroha town W'e had a heavy hall I shower and afterwards the sun shone through the clouds. Would you believe it. Peter Pan. Every car that was narked in the main street, the steam was rising from the hoods as if it -was smoking I had never noticed that before. 1 started out on my push-bike Tor Sunday school; had only got a little way when the tyro canto off, so daddy drove me down In the carl I like going to Sunday school I very much; quite a number of iny little i pals go to the same school. One morning I last week when I was dressing for school | my pet Micky came into the room and I jumped upon the hed and then the fun began. She saw herself in the lookingglass and jumped on the dressing table to find, the other pussy and then she would look aprain in the glass and try to ngdit the pussy. It reminded me of the moni key with' the mirror at the Zoo.—Clifford Parker (8), Te Aroha. | we were so glad to hear from you 1 once more, Clifford; such a newsy letter, too. The rain last week-end wag very spasmodic, wasn’t it? —Peter Pan. ABOUT MANY THINGS. Dear Peter Pan, —Hasn’t the weather been awful lately, what with the heavy showers and hailstorms, to say nothing, or the strong gales, it has been terrible, and it has been so cold, too. I am anxious for the Christmas competitions to start, because I like entering .for them. Micky, rny pet lamb, is growing so big now that I can hardly life him. I only feed him twice a day, but If lie calls out I give him more. He drinks and drinks until he just can’t swallow any more. Sometimes In the mornings I take him for runs and he can run a lot faster than I. I don’t have him on a rope, because he would not enjoy Ills run as much, so I lot him free. He lets me get a long way ahead or him and then he teai*s after me as fast as he can go. The other day when I had him out, I was a little w’ay ahead of him, but instead; of following me, he turned round and tore off home. Of course I went after him, but he only went faster. After giving me .a long chase, he at last stopped and I took him for another run, and then went home. —Violet Wllcoclc (13), Rotokaurl. The Christmas competitions will be starting soon, Violet. Micky must be very big now. What great games you must have with him.—Peter Pan. i AFTER A LONG TIME. Dear Peter Pan, —Seeing your letter last week about old members, 1 thought that I would write again and let you know that I still take an interest- In the Page, although it Is so long since I last wrote to you. I started. to write so many times when 1 felt I had something of interest, but other things had to be done so I gave it up. Then my time became more lllled up, playing tennis, basketball and swimming after the baths were opened last, summer. lam looking forward'.to wvben. they are to be re-opened, but I hope wo shall then he having warmer weather than we are having just now. It was disappointing that it was so cold and rough for the opening of the tennis courts and bowling greens yesterday, as last week we had some beautiful summery spells. Do you know, Peter Pan, that I expect this will be my last term at Whitiora School? lam very sorry, although I rather like the idea of attending secondary school. With others I am having extra lessons, preparing for junior scholarship and proficiency exams., and you know that means having to stick to our books for the next month. Our last holidays were spent at Camp Fergusson, Okete, and we had a great time. It Is such a pretty place, but as It wuold take'too long to write about It now I am sending a snap that we took of the rails. I am in the boat with my sister. I think Pixie Pip may write to tell you more about it. I will close now, hoping this will make up for long silence and to let you know that I still enjoy the letters .written by members of our Circle; it is such a big one now.—“ Silver Swan” (12) Frankton.

How jolly It was to Hear from you again, Eva! We hope that you will write again soon. Jlest of luck to you with, the scholarship.—Peter Pan.
