PETER PAN’S LETTER.

GIRLS AND BOYS, —

And now you are all back at school again after suoh weeks and weeks of holidays and Peter Is sure, by the happy little faces he passes every morning on his way to the office, that none of you are really sorry to be there. The Twins were very pleased when they woke up on Monday morning and found lovely golden sunshine waiting for them, and Jenne said very brightly: “See, Peter, Mr Weather Man knows that our holidays are all over so he Is shjning for us to go to school! “ And Peter thinks that must be true as they have been really beautiful days these last few, haven't they? Peter has been watching the sun as It sinks beyond the blue horizon and as the white fleecy clouds become tinted with the softest rose and gold he wonders how ever Mr Rain oould come to spoil all the beauty of this little world as he did last week.

Peter’s gardens are looking muoh brighter and he Tias been having •uoh a busy time looking for fresh surprises In the warm, brown earth. His bulbs are all above ground and he Is waiting very Impatlnetly for his very first golden dafTodll or snowdrop to show Its dainty skirt* from beneath Its green casing. The Twins have been very busy digging their own garden plots ready for their next bed and they have been wondering If they, will have a rose garden or juot a garden of “all sorts’* as Jenne says. Peter thinks that the rcse garden would be lovely, but he likes the “all sorts’* too, so perhaps they will have one of each. The last of the autumn leaves have been swept away and suoh lovely bonfires the Twins have been having, when their Mummy and the Wendy Person were not looking very hard. Then, too, Peter saw the loveliest bowl of red, red roses the other day, and the scent was beautiful, and he will be very sad when the very last of them has faded away. Competitions will be beginning next week, little people, so out with your thinking caps and have them all brushed and ready to wear. Peter hopes that every single one of you will try to work out every competition that Is published and who knows perhaps you will, like King Bruce’s spider, succeed after many attempts. So best of luck to you ail, little ones and big ones, and many happy evenings In front of the lovely warm fires Peter knows are burning In your grates. From your happy —
