COUSINS’ CORRESPONDENCE.

Dear Cousin Kate, — I have been to the Exhibition and think it is just lovely, but I liked Wonderland best. I was only down at the Exhibition for three weeks, and the rest of my holidays I spent up here with two little friends to stay with me. Who- got the prize for the painting competition? I have seen nothing about it in the “Graphic.” We had such a lot of raspberries' this summer; we had raspberries and cream every day. We had. sports. out here

not very long ago. and we all went out to them, and had a lovely picnic, and one of our men won a silver cup and a pound by raving. 1 have been for eight bathes this summer, and such a lot of lovely rides. Please, Cousin Kate,-give me Cousin Winnie’s address again, for 1 have lost it. This will be a very short letter, as I have to go and get ready for school. With much love to- yourself and all the cousins, 1 remain your loving Cousin. CICELY.

[Dear Cousin Cicely.—Thank you very much for your letter. I wa's so pleased to hear what delightful holidays .you have been having. Didn’t you manage to see all you wanted to at the Exhibition in the three weeks? I suppose you spent all your spare time there. Most people say that- they liked “ Wonderland ” better than any other part of the Exhibition. so I was delighted when I heard the other day that there is some, talk of a Wonderland being opened in Wellington, and also one in Auckland. RaspIwrries and cream arc delicious, aren’t they? quite as good as strawberries and cream. I think. Cousin Winnie’s address is Miss W. Vipcent, Barretta-road, ■Spieydon. ( hristchurch. It was a pity you lost her address, otherwise you might have looked her up while you were in (hristchurch. Write again soon and then I think I will excuse the very short letter you have written this week. —Cousin Kate.l * , , 4* Dear Cousin Kate. —I have l>een thinking of writing to you for a long time.
