THE SINGER

Princess with the golden veil And little silver feet. You came down on a moonbeam That shone on Tiptoe Street. I left four kisses by my bed And the window opened wide, I left a little silver ring, But you did not come inside. You sang beneath my window A tender song and sweet, Princess with the golden veil And little silver feet. —Gloria Rawlinson (aged 10). PUZZLERS Word Square: 1. —An entanglement. 2. —Charles Lamb. 3. —Part of a window. 4. An equal part. CHANGED WORD Change the word “More” into “Less,” altering only one letter at a time, making a common dictionary word at each change, and having only three intervening links. Answers to last week’s puzzlers: Word Diamond: N. Lie. Niger. Eel. R. Transposed Words: Acre-care. Loottool. Reef-free. WATCHING FOR THE SPRING I have just read your letter, and I thought it was so nice. We all miss Doctor Spring Sunshine and he is certainly a welcome guest. It is very nice to have the violets, especially in winter. I liked the message. “I am coming to you by devious ways, Armed with a knapsack of happy days,” ever so much, and I shall be looking forward longingly to the coming of the spring. —Patricia Gulliver (aged 11.) THE BEST OF FRIENDS We have five cats. Their names are Peter, Moses, Trixie, Max and Taffy. Taffy lives in the fowl-run with the fowls, and one day we found her sitting in the nest with a fowl. We think she must sleep there.. —Ralph Robertson (aged 9).
