Under the "Totem-Pole"

Letters to Redfeather are answered as follow:—Afterglow: Congratulations on your appointment to the position of captain. The good wishes of the Wigwam will go with you in your new work . . . Grey Eagle: I have inserted a reminder in the Scout column, and I hope there will be a large attendance at both functions . . . Daydream: Greetings and welcome, Daydream. Tour missing word entry is very cleverly thought out . . . Featherfoot: I was glad to hear again from this faithful one. Did you find your notes in the Guide column last week? . . . Flying Cloud: Yes, wet streets certainly have a forbidding look, but the Lady Spring will soon be paving them with sunshine. A Wigwam thought for Flving Cloud . . . Little Thunder: Many thanks, Little Thunder. Are you looking forward to the parade on Saturday week? . . . Little Star: So this is the great night? I hope you will all have a happy time at your birthday party . . . Green Leaf: What have you done to your hand, Green Leaf? I hope it will soon recover. Tour Whangarei notes are very interesting this time, and it was kind of your friend to act as your stenographer . . . Lone Dreamer: Many happy returns. Do you feel quite grown up? I, too, love pine-needles. The earth has no fairer carpet. Did those clouds on the horizon bring rain? . . . Harvest Moon: Congratulations on your success in the poetry competition. The other poem will appear shortly . . . Red Star: The Wigwam page has some exciting news for the little faithful one this week. I hope you are keeping all your prize-winning poems. You should have an interesting collection now. FOR WISE HEADS Changed word: Change the word LAMP into DARK,
