PETER PAN’S LETTER

"QEAR GIRLS AND BOYS, Such a merry week this last one has been, hasn’t It, with streets filled with a never-ending line of cars all travelling to the .show buildings and then there Is the lovely saw-dusty smell of the show itself with crowds upon crowds of hurrying people and the chug-chug of all the machinery, above the murmur of people’s voices and the excited squeals of’delight as a little person finds a lovely fairy doll on a stick. Peter and the Sunshine Girl went on children’s day and they had such an interesting time watching the crowd surge past. There were big people and little people, people by themselves or chatting gaily with friends and there were smiles—brPght, sunny smiles in all directions. And then the Circle People ventured a little further Into the Jolly crowds and such lots and lots of things they saw. The Sunshine Girl loved the tall pyramid of apples with their scarlet and green cheeks glowing amidst their bed of soft green paper. And then came the side-shows with the jolly tapping music of the merry-go-round, with Its hosts of small horsemen seated on the dapple-grey steed* very much like knights of long ago. A visit to the school section took such a long time, for the Wendy Person insisted on seeing every single entry, and such lovely ones there were too. Tony and Jenne were very Interested In the model aeroplanes and yachts and It wasn’t until the Sunshine Girl promised them some pink candy floss that they would even dream of leaving. The Circle People had a lovely feast of Ice-cream, and orange drink, waffles and hot dogs and dozens and dozens of nice things, until Peter felt sure he would never be able to eat any more, ever. However, Peter did remember to take some candy and popcorn home to the pets, who were very pleased too. And now, the top o’ the morning to you all and fat Jingling purses from your own—
