CHILDREN'S CORRESPONDENCE COLUMN.
Dear Cousin Kate.—l live in Dunedin, and I should like to see a letter of mine in the Graphic, if you think it good enough. We have had some dreadfully cold weather. I went out to the country to stay with some friends, and had a lovely game in the snow. The boys made a big snowman, and got an old pipe to put in his mouth. They put lighted matches in it, but they kept going out because the snowmelted on them. There was a little girl only three years old, who tumbled into the snow we collected for the snowman, and got almost buried. We had all to dig her out with our hands. If you rub snow on your hands well, you don’t get chilblains.—Your loving cousin, Maude Ellton. [I think making a snow man great fun. We used to put bits of coal for eyes, and rose-leaves for cheeks. I hope you will write again.—Cousin Kate.]
