Children of the Wigwam will be delighted to hear that Guide-Brave Red Star has greatly improved in health, l She writes: “To-day I am lying out on thp j verandah and am enjoying seeing everything once more. It is nearly three months since I was last outside, and the trees and grass look so beautifully green. “Two starlings are building their nest in the corner of the verandah just near my bed. and two sparrows are building their’s in a corner of the house next door. They are all working very hard carrying straws and feathers and I have quite enjoyed watching them. “Flying Cloud’s arrow alighted at my tepee door and I intend speeding one to her in return as soon as I can. yesterday my enrolment as a member of the Honesty Patrol ook place, i Captain Heddon (Many Tokens*, of St. j Peter's Company.

Hamilton, gives her version of the enrolment of little Red Star: Silver Heel had made her the top of a Guide uniform to wear in bed. and she looked so sweet in the neatly pressed jacket and bright tie.

Guide Brave, writes under date October 27: “Again I hear the call from the north, and I answer. I have also some more Guide news for you. We have formed a new patrol in our company since last I followed the trail to the Wigwam, It is called the Patrol,' under the leaders, Elsie Flay and myself. We have had a new recruit at each of our meetings since I last wrote, making a total of 32, with Captain and Lieutenant Wright. "My friend Eileen Evans, leader of the Kingfisher Patrol, has almost passed her first-class test. She will be the first to win this badge in our company. “With the weather being wet last Monday, we met in the school at one o’clock, played games and practised for our concert, to be held cn December 6. If it had been fine we had intended going to the Rabbit Run, about two and a-half miles up North Beach. Although we were unable to go, we had a happy time together.’’ Red Leaf writes: “Yoi4i’ Brave is very happy, for she has just learned that on the morning of Friday, November 4, before the sun is up, when the world is wrapped in mystery and sleep, she will mount her fiery steed and ride away to seek new hunting grounds for two glorious weeks. “On that same red-letter day she hopes to find the tepee of our little faithful Red Star. Would you please tell her that her sister GuideBrave will be looking forward to seeing her on the afternoon of this coming Friday?” Red Leaf forwards, also, some useful recipes for sweets suitable for selling Guide bazaars. I shall publish these as soon as space permits. RED FEAT HER ;
