SCHOOL JUBILEE Dear Peter Pan,—l was very pleased to see my letter in print, also to see my name twice on the Honours Board. My mother, brother and myself went to the Whatawhata Jubilee on February 1 1 and we all had a lovely time. A beautiful three-tier cake was cut for afternoon tea. We are having our school picnic on Saturday, so I hope it will be fine. In our school garden we have some pretty iris's in bloom, and in a neighbour’s garden there are some gorgeous yellow, red, white and pink, edged with white, dahlias in bloom. Well, Peter, as it is past bedtime I will close with best wishes from Milk Maid (1-2), Whatawhata. Thank you very much indeed for your photo, Milk Maid, and Peter was so pleased to receive It. it is now safely placed in the Circle Album. Such a lovely time you must have had at the Jubilee, Peter thinks.—Peter Pan. HOLIDAY NEWS Dear Peter Pan, —At Christmas time my brother and I went in the train to Taranaki Tor a holiday. We stayed in llawera Tor two weeks and in .Stratford for one week. We had a splendid time, too. When we came home we stayed home for three fir four days, then I went to my brother-in-law's farm at llopuhopu. 1 have been kept busy lately as 1 received several books for Christmas uml have been reading them. it has not been very nice weather for swimming, has it? When 1 stayed at Aunty’s place In llawera we were only six miles from the beach, and as Aunty has got a car we went ror a swim quite often. My gardens look quite nice now; one of them is rub or verbena and the garden by the window has sunflowers in bloom. Mother’s gardens by the path and the lawn look quite nice, too, with some beautiful marigolds, verbena and phlox in flower. Dad has Just planted some nice shrubs round our swimming pool. We have started the ordinary school routine now as all the new girls have been put Into the different houses. Well, Peter, I have no more news so I will close with love from Sliver Mist (13), Hamilton. You are a stranger, Silver Mist, and Peter was arrald that you had forgotten all about the circle. Such a jolly holiday you must have had, too, and Peter is sure you enjoyed it.—Peter Pan. GARDEN NEWS Dear Peter Pan, —Hasn’t the weather been lovely for swimming lately? Cambridge is having its swimming sports next Wednesday, but 1 have only entered for one race. 1 am looking forward to a swim this afternoon, hut I do not think that the weather will be flue enough. We are playing tennis at school quite a lot new. Malamata came over last Tuesday and played us at tennis and cricket; they are a very good team, and they beat us at every tiling. Our garden is quite gay at present, \\7lli phlox and stocks and we have a lovely thick border of Virginian stock. 1 went to a garden party yesterday, and there was a stall there, where Oriental goods were sold. 1 have never seen such beautiful work, especially that on the rice linen. We were told that there are hundreds of women in China who are blind, as the result of doing such fine work. Well. I must close now. with lots of love.—Anne Craig (14), Cambridge. Such a lovely surprise your letter was this week, Anne, and Peter was very pleased to hear rrom you again. This last week has been lovely weather for swimming, hasn't it?—Peter Pan.
