Tape. “PRETENDY LAND” I am surrounded by flowers to-day —roses, cream, white, pink, dark red, and wonderful apricot-coloured ones; sweet scented pinks, yellow snapdragons, and all kinds of pretty foliage. I Just shut my eyes and 10, I am sitting in a cool, tree-shaded bower, brightened by delicately tinted, sweetly perfumed blooms, with the drowsy humming of bees all about me and the sun falling in golden patches on the green grass. Don't you think it is nice to pretend sometimes? Anything can happen in “Pretendy Land." —JEAN McINDOE. “SOMEONE CAME KNOCKING” “Someone came knocking at my wee. small door. Someone came knocking, I’m sure, sure, sure . . To-day at my dream house door there was someone knocking. I ran out as I always do, and there was Sunbeam Connie Whiteford, the little girl who cannot see the outside world. I was f so glad. The birds seemed happier and they sang many joyous songs, the sunshine grew brighter, the squirrels chattered in the branches, and the dream flowers, which had been asleep, awoke to welcome Connie just as they had done to welcome Rina and Jean. We all love Jean, Rina and Connie, and we try to make them very, very happy at the “Dovecot**’’ as they miss so much in the outside world. What a pretty flower Gloria has hidden in that riddle-me-ree. I have found it and put it in a vase in the dream house, where it will live for ever, giving away its perfume. —MARGARET ANDERSON, (Mount Eden).
