A PAGE FOR THE CHILDREN

Dear Children, It has been so hard to choose among so many stories that I have had to give two prizesone for children over, and one for under eleven years. The prizes have been awarded as follows: — Ist Prize of 5/- (over 11 years), Miss Marjorie Ingle, 15 Bond Street, Marton. Ist Prize of 5/- (under 11 years), Audrey Ingle, St. Stephen's School, Marton. I wonder if you are sisters! Most of the stories were very well expressed and neatly written, but I liked best those that were really "new," not just stories retold from something you had heard before. Two little people won a prize each for their verses — both deserved it equally. They are: — Patricia France, 5 Alten Eoad, Auckland. Isla Blair, 325 The Terrace, Wellington. Now, next —that is, before the 20th of Octoberl hope to hear from many of you again. This time, will the boys write me a story called My Sister, and the girls, "My Brother"? I am sure you will have lots to say, and if you have not a brother or sister, suppose you write about the one you would like to have. A prize of 5/- is offered to both boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 14, and 2/6 for boys and girls under 11 years. Hoping to hear from you again, Yours affectionately, Aunt Jane.
