Most of the « re correct. Would you please are? th Dawn La dy know how old you

Michael Hutt, Birkenhead.—l love your drawing, Mick. It is a most attractive picture. You should keep on with your black and white work, as I am sure that is going to be your vocation. Have >ou ever tried figure drawing, or the art of caricature?

Margery Kent, Epsom.—A warm welcome to this little girl, who is now one oi my Sunbeams. Whenever you write tc me you will find an answer in the Hollow Tree. The Little Thought sends his best love.

Meryl Slater, Pukekawa.—Yes, little Miss Meryl, you may certainly have a membership card. What is your cousin’s name? I can’t quite place my finger on this Sunbeam. I hope I shall have many letters from you.

Sylvia Cross, Ponsonby.—The ones who constantly read the Happy Town page always find their way down Tiptoe Street sooner or later, Sylvig. No, it costs nothing whatever to* join. Money is of no .value in Happy Town. We have friendship instead, for that is the true wealth.

Joyce Thomson, Thames: It is splendid that the Sunbeams are writing to you, Joyce. Nola was very excited about heaving from you. I have posted your letter to Jean. Her- address is 25 Ulster Street, Hamilton. Many thanks for your charming poem.

Billy Bullough, Huntly: I thought I should hear again very soon from Billy, for I passed through Huntly not very long ago and sent a good wish speeding to this little Sunbeam. Many thanks for the poem.

Jean Mclndoe, Hamilton: All the joy bells in Happy Town are ringing, Jean, for you are now able to write again. I should have loved to have been with you

on your birthday and watched you blow out the thirteen candles on your cake. I think it must have been a very happy day. Something tells me that you will soon be able to have some sunshine on the verapdah. I love the little poem. It is one of your good ones. Soon, X think, your pencil will be making plenty of magic again.

Nola Craig, Mount Albert: Your competition story has reached me safely, Nola, and also your neat letter. So Buz would like some appointment in Happy Town? Please tell him that he may be Keeper-in-Chief of the Dawn Lady’s Letter Opener.

Thora Carr, Auckland: Another Sunbeam for Happy Town. Don’t they come streaming in? I think Thora is going- to be one of the faithful ones.

Irene Wilson, Hamilton East: A beautifully neat letter from Irene this time and some useful puzzlers. Thank you very much indeed. Much love from Happy Town.

Mabel Stock, Henderson: Mabel is now in Happy Town. I was so glad to have your neat letter with the drawings at its foot. The fairy is a dainty little person. I hope I shall often hear from you.

Enid Howard, Rotorua: Welcome to this little girl who has come tapping at the Happy Town gates. I notice by your address that you are in a nursing home. Are you not very strong? Please tell me all about yourself when next you write. Jack Montague. Thames: I was glad to hear again from this faithful Thames Sunbeam and to have your competition story. The procession must have been great fun, Jack, and the scarecropr a comical figure. Don’t you know how to catch “ghosts” with pepper? Why, the slightest sprinkle makes them sneeze and they are ghosts no longer.

Ronald Stone, Herne Bay: T was glad to hear again from this laddie and to have your drawing and the poem. Have you started bathing- yet, Ronald? There are some good swimming places at Herne Bay.

intend being a faithful Sunbeam. I hope you will write again soon. Janet Cunningham, Newton: Another neat letter from Janet. 1 have many Sunbeams older than you. When they outgrow Happy Town they follow the trail to the Wigwam, so we never, really lose them, after all. Much love, Janet.

Chrissie Olsen, Otahuhu: Greetings to this new Sunbeam and many thanks for the poem. Your writing is very neat, Chrissie. Best love from Happy Town.

Myrtle McCormick: Many thanks for the clever little picture, Myrtle. It is a good suggestion for a competition, but, unfortunately, pencilled drawings do not reproduce. I shall endeavour to find one of the books in your list.

Jean Shackleton, Waiuku: I was glad to have another letter from this little girl. Thank you also for the pretty cards. You have a few years still ahead before you are old enough to leave school, but school days are happy days, I think. Much love, little lady.

Kathleen Ricketts, Takapuna: You are surely one of the busy Sunbeams, Kathleen, for I see you have brought nine new members to Happy Town since you joined. What Splendid business. They are all very faithful ones, too. I love the coloured picture of the little girl being carried off to Fairyland and you have made the correct picture out of the puzzle. Give my love to Eileen. I am so glad that she is better.

June Gladding, New Lynn: A beautifully long letter from June this time, which quite makes up for the time you had to send a message. When we have daylight saving. June, you will be able to spend even more time in the garden. Best love from Happy Town.

Dawn Collier. Mount Albert: So you have some inside information about the Dawn Lady and know that I am quite well? This is very interesting, Dawn, and I am burning with curiosity. Jean will find your birthday greetings, I think. Yes, that is her address. She is already making poetry again and expects soon to be able to lie out on the verandah. Thank you very much for your drawing, Dawn. It is very good.

Jack Gladding. New Lynn: A very neat letter from Jack this time. Holiday time will soon come again. You and June are wonderful little gardeners. I have not forgotten those beautiful violets and blue peas. Much love, Jack. It is very kind of you to want to help me. Mary Earle, Royal Oak: Thank you for your friendly little letter. Mary. I shall be watching for the competition entries you are going .to send me. These painting competitions are popular. Perhaps you would like to enter for this one. Much love, little lady. It is splendid that you have come to Happy Town.
