BRIMMING WITH NEWS Dear Peter Pan, —Since I wrote to you last the Scouts have had a street stall, which was a huge success. On the stall there were Jams, pickles, sauces, lollies, vegetables, fruit, books, and plenty or cakes. These goods were donated by the Scouts’ mothers and friends. Altogether we collected £l9, which is going towards the Scout building funds Tor our new hall. Tomorrow I am riding to Arapuni on my bike with my brother, to see my grandparents. We have three lilac trees, which are at present in bloom. They look very pretty standing by the side of the lawn. I am saving up for Guy Fawkes and Christmas. Last Saturday I went to the picture called “ The Drum,’ which 1 enjoyed very much. On Wednesday arternoon there is a special matinee titled “ Little Miss Broadway.” starring Shirley Temple. 1 think it should be good. We have a small bed or forget-me-nots and their pale-blue petals are a dazzling sight in the bright sunshine, and with an odd pink and white one intermingling, the eect is very charming. I am sending you some riddles, Peter, but I must close now with kind regard Trom Texas Lad (12), Putaruru. Such a splendid success your Scouts’ Appeal Day mst have been, Texas Lad; congratulations. Thank you very much fop the riddles, too. Peter was very pleased .to them.—Peter Pan. GARDEN NEWS Dear Peter Pan,—l rorgot to tell you in my last letter that the school went to the picture, ‘‘Boys’ Town,” and most of the children thought it very sad. In about one month ago we went to “ Robin Hood.” 1 thought it very interesting. “Snow White” and “Robin Hood” were on the same day, and the majority or the children wanted to see Snow White, but couldn't, as it was Aimed at half-past two and they would have to leave at a quarter to three to catch the school buses. The Weather Man is still very changeable, isn’t he? One day it is raining, and the next day it is very hot with the sun shining in all its glory. Yesterday my sister, brother, father, and 1 went to see an old lady of 8-2 in the Waikato Hospital and all the flowers looked very beautiful. A dear little garden of gay pansies

by the main entrance took my eye. Our ITuit trees have turned from blossoms to leaves now. Do you know what I found tlie other day? You would never guess. Hundreds or tiny green plums and apples hidden by their green background. I was so thrilled that I climbed the tree and another sight met my eyes, a nest or tJiree young blackbirds, so now I keep an eye on the fruit and the birds, so I’ll be the first one to have a plum off our tree this year. Well, Peter, my wrist is aching, as you can tell by the writing, so cheerio for now. With love rrom IS'orah Turney (13), Ohaupo. The pansy bed is very colourful, isn't it, N'orah? They are of such a lovely shade, too. Peter thinks. Do write and tell us how the little birds grows, won’t you?—Peter Pan. My first is in sleep, but not in wake, My second’s in leave and also in take, My third is in atlas, but not in map, My fourth is in sleep but not in nap. My fifth is in rabbit and also in hare, My sixth is in peach and also in pear;
