LETTERS TO COLLEEN
ZENO
AURELLIA,
MITZI,
I received such an interesting pile of letters this week and I am only sorry that I cannot publish them all. Not enough room again. Here are just two of them, but next week I hope to be able to publish a lot more: — Dear Colleen, — First of all I must apologise for not sending in my letter sooner, but for several reasons this was impossible. However, I promise I will not disappoint you next week. I was just as much surprised and delighted with the result of last week's competition as I was with the previous one. Your few words of recommendation have given me quite a lot of hope. But. Colleen, I have recognised several mistakes I have been making in | my essays, so I am going to ask if | you will help me by critcising them — youi> know — pointing out the faults and so forth. I will not mind what ; you say; it will all be of some help. Don't you think that K.K.K. has got a lot of new members? I asked some girls at school to join and I think they "will now that the age limit has been extended. Oh, we are 'going to be a truly wonderful organisation some day. And, Colleen, do you think I would be able to secure a paper that has the first issue of K.K.K. printed in it? I'm sorry I ean't write any more, and I . | apologise for scrawling, but for all that I hope you'll accept what I have sent in. —
James Street.'
Dear Colleen, — I was very pleased to see your answer to my composition in the paper and to receive my "certificate so soon. I think it is a neat little card and a very good idea. In reply to your request, I am intefested in all sports, especially basketball and swimming, arid I am also very fond of h'orses and riding; my eldest sister has a pony that I occa-
sionally have the use of and which I enjoy very much. ' I am interested in my studies at school, principally in the comniercial course, shorthand, typing and bookkeeping, with the intention of qualifying for a position as a typist. Then, again, I assist my mother as much as possible with the housework. I will now conclude, thanking yon j. verv much for the letter.
Ranolf Street.
