PETER PAN’S LETTER.

jQEAR girls and boys, Peter has great news this week,’ the buds on the pussy willow are fat and round and nearly bursting from their reddy brown blankets, so Spring Is surely very close round the corner. Peter’s friends the birds know It, too, and they are singing from the very highest branches, fit to burst their tiny ruffled tHroats, and the Sun Man Is smiling at them, and it has been such a gay week. The Peggy Square Competition was such a success; there were Peggy Squares, and more Peggy Squares, and such beautifully knitted ones, too. Peter thinks that the way the little people knitted their squares was splendid; they were the neatest, gayest, loveliest things you ever saw. And the parcel that came from the First Hamilton Brownie Pack was wonderful. When Peter opened It there was a positive rainbow of .colour. Peggy Squares of all colours —they will certainly be Sunshine quilts when they are made, with such lots of kind thoughts in them. Thank you so much, Brownies, ftfr the work of your busy fingers. There have been a few more letters for the Pets’ Page, but Peter wants lots and lots more, so do get busy round the fire and send us something; It must be such a success, and there are only a few days this week left. Wouldn’t It be dreadful If we had a Pets’ Page with nothing to put in It? Are your gardens lovely now. Peter sees such lots of new exciting things every time he walks abroad. There are blue periwinkles playing over an old tree stumj), with their dear little white brushy tongues, aqd there are bulb children everywhere, “Johnnies,” as the twins call them, and snowdrops, and even one or two primroses. But not one daffy has Peter seen. He is waiting Impatiently for the time when' he can write on his calendar, “The first daffy Is here, Spring has really and truly come.” Won’t it be fun?

Golden gardens to you, big and small, and lots of love from your happy

Peter Pan
