The Hollow Tree

Messages for Sunbeams betters to the Dawn Lady are answered as under: — Fanny Birch, Ponsonby: I was so. pleased to have your letter and to read how you built up that fine little poem. It will go into the competition with the rest. Marjorie Hetherington, Mount Eden: Thank you very much for your letter. I have managed to secure the book you named and I hope you will thoroughly enjoy it. “The Good Scribes” are the neat writers who are worthy of mention each week. Jack Johnstone, Edendale: I am very glad to welcome you into Happy Town, Jack. Olga was wise in advising you to join. Betty will soon be old enough to read the stories. All good wishes. Annie Lake, Epsom: Your message reached me quite safely and I have placed your name on the Sunbeam roll. I wonder if you are going to enter for the competitions? Molly Sheppard, Devonport: Your charming little letter arrived safely at Happy Town. I think it wiser for the Sunbeams to use their own names, though when they outgrow Happy Town the Wigwam will be open to them. The Dawn Lady would not know her Sunbeams if they all began changing into linnets and thrushes, or pansies and buttercups, and how very sad that would be. I have given your love to the Little Thought. Ida Bell, Ponsonby: Thank you for your very neat letter and for the bird puzzle with Master Seagull marked in. Did you have much trouble in finding him? The Dawn Lady searched and searched before she spied him. Betty Johnstone, Edendale: A warm welcome to this wee maid. I think she is going to be a very happy little Sunbeam.

Parsons, Auckland: Your letter reached me safely and Master D. Parsons is now a Sunbeam of Happy Town. When next you write will you please tell the Dawn Lady your Christian name? What is it I wonder — Denis, Donald or David? Mollie Antonovich, Helensville: I am so glad that you enjoy the Happy Town corner and your name is now on the list of Sunbeams. Your letters will always be answered in this column and there will be competitions for the children from time to time. I am sending you your Membership Card.
