BRIEF REPLIES

N. Greenslade, Upper Hutt. This week a new member heads the reply list. Welcome, but please may I know your full name soon? “Moonlight,” Pahiatua: What were you? Not the Big Bad Wolf? Yes, but he came to my pillowcase, not my stocking. Thank you for the twister. “Brown Imp,” Masterton: That’s Mear the lighthouse, isn’t it? I have never been there, but I believe it is great fun.

“Lady of the Lamp,” Shannon: Do you like them? But they don’t start till stfhool begins again; I will tell Anne though, how much you enjoy her letters. I expect you were disgusted. sVhat did you do for a revenge? “Ruth Elizabeth,” Martinborough: I had an accident, too, sprained my ankle, but that is almost better now, while you, poor person, are still all “splinty.” Love from us all and our wishes for a quick recovery. “Shamrock,” Hastings: I was swimming at West Shore quite a lot during the holidays: didn’t see a shark though, thank goodness. Yes, I know, and this drawing, I think, will reproduce quite well. You are still inclined to make your lines too fine, though. Can you use a broader nib? Aletheia Benson, Lower Hutt: Tell Lavinia that I saw her on break-up day. She won great laurels, didn’t she? This time you are lucky. “Conqueror” Is yours.

Gwen Pain, Featherston: Thank you, Sear. No, “Delightful Dish” is not taken.

“Jamie,” Feilding: Yes please, Indian ink. Have you got some? Very strict yule, “No pennames may be changed.” I am sorry. “Amokura,” Tauranga: I thought you would like it. Have you been away at all?

“Spring Blossom,” Ohau: Very dainty, Spring Blossom, thank you for pending it. “Tootleberry,” Lower Hutt: Yes, it will be very sad, but there’s a long time to wait yet, almost three years and just think of all the letters and stories you can write to the Junior page in three years! Hath Francis, Trentham: You should really have been at the top, too, but your welcome, though a bit lower down the list, is every bit as warm. “X”? All’s well; but the pen friend potices simply go in as “pen friend jvimted,” another rule. “Madame Pompadour,” Eketahuna: A dainty thing; it is so nice to hear from you again.
