Dick Schofield, Ponsonby: That lovely big box of shells has come safely to Happy Town, Dick, and also the dainty handkerchiefs and your letter. What a kind little -man you are. When the pai - eel arrived, Dick, I had one guess where it came from and my one guess was right. It is wonderful to have the love of little Dick Schofield. When I read your letter it made me feel "all sliming warm, like dancing and like singing. Please tell Nanette that I still have her pansy.

Norma Waller, Manurewa: That is a quaint little story you have written about the squirrel babies, Norma. I enjoyed it very much. What the Joy Shop man whispered to the Doorkeeper had something to do with the proper colouring for the picture, but, as usual, the poor old Doorkeeper did not win a prize, I think he is very noble to keep on trying, don’t you? You will have a happy time at Grammar School, I think. Jean Mclndoe will find your love message. Her letter had to be written for her this week. Nola Craig, Mount Albert: I am glad that you are going to draw an animal for the competition, Nola, and I shall be looking forward to seeing it. Perhaps Jean will write to you when she is strong enough. Just now she is not very well. Much love to Nola and the faithful Buz. Nancy Waller, Manurewa: So you cut out all your messages, too, Nancy? How many have you now? Jean Mclndoe and Joyce Thomson will find that you have been thinking of them. Bill Pratt is ten and he lives at Francis Street, Takapuna. No, I have not read “Esther Reid," but I remember seeing some of the

"Pansy” books when I was a little girl. Your word square is correct, Nancy. How did you come to hurt your finger? X hope it will soon be well.

Dorothy Ferguson, Remuera: I am glad to find that yqu are now in Standard IV., Dorothy, and also that you still find time to help your mother. A typed letter from you would have been interesting. Perhaps you will try another some time.
