OUR PRESIDENT.

I am very glad to be able to tell the ‘Graphic’ cousins that our cot fund has had a nice little Christmas box in the shape of the kind annual subscription—one pound—of our president. Lady Constance Knox, which was forwarded to me last week by Captain Dudley Alexander, from Wellington. It is ple:isant to know that our bonnie little president has not forgotten us.—COUSIN KATE.

Dear Cousin Kate. —I have been a very long while in writing to you. I am spending my Christmas holidays up at Otaki. We are having lovely weather up here. Dear Cousin Kate, I would very much like to see your photo in the ‘Graphic.’ I was reading a lot of old ‘Graphics’ the other day, and I saw the little girl who is in the Cousins’ cot now. We go out to the beach up here, and bathe, and it is lovely bathing in the breakers. I hope a lot of the cousins will write to the Christmas number. Love to all the cousins.—From INA CURTIS.

I am glad to hear you are having such a pleasant holiday, dear Cousin Ina. To tell the truth. I do not like putting my photo in the ‘Graphic.’ I never take well, and my friends have often refused to accept by photograph! Just at present the cot is empty. I suppose even sick, or especially sick children like, if possible, to be at home for Christmas. It is very hot weather; T think the cousins find it too warm to write, besides, there are examinations. COUSIN KATE.
