PETER PAN’S LETTER.

DEAR 3078 AND GIRLS, i What a lovely week of sunshine you have had for the end of the holidays and there are still some lucky ones with even longer yet. The fogs have crept up like grey ghosts, haven't they, and it has taken such lots of the morning before the Sun Mon could break through. Still the days have been perfect and the trees are bright In their last golden and scarlet leaves and they have been happy days for you all. Peter he: had letters about days in Rotorun and at the hot baths at Matemote, and days In the oodntry end at the beach, and Jolly times they have All been. Holiday letters are very exciting, he thinke, and he has been so busy reading them he he: not noticed not having any holidays himself at all. And aren't the evenings long and cosy by the fire new, the twins have brought out ell their winter games and we sit round, and Smutty comes and lie. on Peter’s knees to keep him warm, and there Is a tremendous chattering of tongues as we all argue who Is right and how many points we have. There Is a very exciting race game we play that leaves us all breathless and poor Smutty usually ls rolled on to the floor when Peter gets excited. Competitions are beginning this week with a very easy one to get you all started. Peter does hope we will have such lots of entries this yeer end that every single one of you will try your luck. Whatever you' do, you must not sit down and say: “I can’t!" Just try. the tryu‘s are the ones that count twice as much as the “I can’t" ones, and Peter loves to watch their work getting better and better as they try, till they gain a prize themselves. Show days are peeping round the corner and they are packed with exciting adventures, and floss candy and popcorn, dolls on sticks 'and whistles and balloons. Peter can almost hear the musical box tunes the merry-go-round will play already, and he is looking forward to such lots of fun. Have you saved any pennies yet? They are very elusive, aren‘t they, and seem to find something to spend themseves on ages before the Show. The twlne’ moneybox has a spendld full-to-the-brlm sounding rattle Just now and soon we are going to open It and see how much has slipped In. All the fun of the Fair and sunny days from your own, P"
