We j Mad our school picnic about two weeks \ ago and It was a great success. I got 3 nve seconds, but no llrst. We bad a paper 3 chase hair-a-mile long and everyone who 3 entered was very hot at the end. This < vear there have been so many yellow ham- < iners on our lawn that there is hardly ; any’ grass to be seen. The other day f at ; school 1 saw a tut in the lucerne tree. It ; 1* the first one I have seen Tor a long lime. Also every year In our lucerne . tree at home a bellbird comes and sucks ; the honey out of the sweet buds. Our plum tree is now In blossom ror the second time this year. Aren’t all the trees bare Just now, and all the gardens, Isn’t the disease among stock terrible? We have two sheep with it but one of our neighbours killed 40 of his animal* Well, I must close now. With lots of love.—Princess Rainbow (12), Cambridge. Such a stranger you are. Princess Rainbow. that Peter thought you were never writing to us again. What a jolly time vou must have had at the picnic.

A NEW CAMERA Dear Peter Pan, —I hope you haven’t thought I had forgottn you, but I seem to have something 10 do or somewhere to go every night. We have had Mum s cousin up from Gore and every night we have been showing her something. She bought me a lovely Brownie Camera and I was very pleased with it, and It takes lovely snaps. We we>nt to Cambridge one dav and we took a film over there, and one or Hamilton, and they tourned out Lovely’. She gave me an apron, too. It Is all pleated and looks so nice. We don’t have exams till after the holidays, so we are lucky, aren’t we. We went to Cambridge last Thursday, but It was a miserable day’, so we didn’t stay long. We took snaps and the last one 1 • one of Hamilton, and they turned out verv good. In spite of the rain. I don’t think I will go away for the holidays. ' Well, I will have to close now, hoping ' evervone In the office Is in the best of health.

A WINDY NIGHT Dear Peter Pan.—Now we have finished • our exams at school I will begin and write to vou again. I was glad that exams are " over because there was so much to learn l and I never seemed to have much time 1 Tor anvthlng else. Wasn’t it windy last night?' Dad and I were milking the cows and the cowshed Is situated in the middle r or some pine trees and every time a gust 1 or wind came along we were afraid in - case one of the trees should have blown 1 over on top or the shed, so we did not stop e there very long. One of the electric light poles was blown over by the wind and the wires s which led into a house Just opposite were s hanging Just high enough to let some n cars through, but It was a bit risky for the 1 bus to get under, so it was one and three-quarter hours late, f The garden Is a rriglitrul mess as there t are leaves of every kind scattered here and there. A while ago I was away rrom school e for a fortnight because my brother bad measles. Isn't there a lot or them going around. Peter? My pet eat Is the bige ge*t cat we have ever had. The other ?. day we weighed him and he was 12 J lbs. r yiv little brother does not like spiders or at least he doesn’t like insects at nil ami n vesterday f was getting some potatoes for n dinner when a big black spider came from f ] beneath them and you should have heard Mervyn yell. £ well. Peter. I will close with best wishes to you and the circle.—Black Cat. (13;, Motumaolio. t *uch a welcome letter your* was, Riack Cat, as it seems such a Jong time since we e last heard from you.
