LETTERS TO COLLEEN

Dear Colleen, I am quite at a loss what to write abolit a's there is nothing much to tell you except that I thought both th'e juniors and seniors did very well with their original verses and Christmas Carnival suggestions. I think that werse of Frances Clay's "Longings" is lovely and also Emerald's "Kiddies' Kosy Korner." The suggestions for the Christmas Carnival- were very good and if some of them wei*e put into practice I am sure that Rotorua would be a g-ay place, in fact I think it would be one of the gayest in the North Island. When I reafi the suggestions I could just imagine what Rotorua would look like, all decorated up with j ferns and 'such like and also coloured j lights which would look like. tiny ' .fairy lamps while men, women and | children danced about the streets in 1 their gaily coloured costumes of gypsies, clowns, fairies, pixies, Spanish ladies, eavaliers and lots of other wonderful costumes. What fun we would haye. The competition for next week is quite a good one. I am not much good at making up limericks, but I have done the best I could I am sending you in some more jokes and riddles, some of the riddles I sent in last week were original and so are Some of the one I am sending this week. Some of -the jokes in last week's "Fun Corner" were ever so funny and I had quite a good laugh over them. Well dear Colleen I will have to say good-bye now as I have nothing more to tell you but I will write again next week. I mean to write every week to make up for the weeks I missed. SYRINGA Dear Colleen, Every week I read K.K.K. and I 1 like to read the jokes and riddles too. I can't enter for the competition because I do not write, but I will write to you sometimes and send you in riddles. I know that will please you. Do you like football? I like football, but l like cricket better. I have a red cricket ball, but yesterday it went under the house. I tried to get it out with the rake but Daddy said I would br-eak it. ■ I am saving up now for Guy Fawkes night. I hope it will be a dry night. BUFFALO BILL ' Dear Colleen, I was very pleased to have the Merit Card, and thank you very much for it. I now want to tell you about the nice time we had on Sunday. After lunch we went out for a drive in the car to Lake Tarawera. 1 On the way we saw the Blue and Green Lakes. We had afternoon tea at Wairoa tea-rooms which we enjoyed very much. Afterwards we went down to see the waterfall which I thought was very beautiful. At Tarawera Lake a lot of lovely dueks were having a really good Swim. The last twice you have put my age in the paper as eight but I am only seven. PETER PAN
