PETER PAN’S LETTER.

Dear girls and boys, The other day the Twins came running to Peter In great excitement for those very lucky little people are to have more holidays In a week’s time, ‘And now we will be able to have another picnic and a bonfire In the back garden and make some more mud pies too Peter,’ said Tony, and Jenne remarked that ‘perhaps we could go to the beach for a few’days too, what do you think Peter?’ But Just In case they have to spend their holidays at home they have prepared a long list of things to do on every single day and one column Is headed ‘FINE” and the other one ‘WET.’ When Peter asked what It all meant he was told that Just In case the Weather Man should have a bad-temper now and again the Twins would not need to waste any precious time looking for fresh adventures ‘cause they would have them all ready and waiting.’ Peter Is wondering how many of those holidays will go exactly to programme, not very many he la sure! The Wendy Person came to remind Peter the other day that It was already August and that this was the month In which the Cheer Chest opened again ‘So you had better remember, Peter, to get that Box tidied out again as It looks very much like a rubbish tip at present and there Is no room at all for all the doll families and storybooks to make their homes till Christmas.’ And sho said It in iiwi» very firmest voice and looked so sternly at Peter that the Twins and the Sunshine Girl began to look for their dust aprons and caps straight away. But Peter managed to pursuade them to leave It for another week or so, at least, as by the time the end of the month arrived th© Chest would be filled wih rubbish again. And now he wonders whose will be the very first parcel this year.

Peter saw th© loveliest window th© other day with th© most beautiful flowers he has ever seen In It. There were golden daffodils and Jonquils, with deep purple violets and anemones, and then a beautiful basket of scarlet anemones by themselves, and at the back were masses of golden shaded Iceland popples. Indeed, Peter had never seen such a lovely picture and It made him think of country lanes splashed with the warmest of golden sunshine and blue skies Instead of the grey ones and heavy rain w© have been having. Then, too, th© Wendy Person simply could not resist buying th© loveliest bunoh of gold and mauve freezlas and she came up to the office with an armful of fragrance. And now lots of love to you all with sunny days and happy times upon the Holiday Ship when It begins Ita new voyage. From yours, waiting on the Holiday landing, ——— iiiiiiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmimimimiimimmiimiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiimiimiiiimmi
