CHRISTMAB AMD GARDENS Dear Peter Pan, —At last our exams are over and I aiu very pleased. ir I am lucky enough to pass I will be in Form IVA next year. As I told you in my last letter, that our school was going to hold their sports day, I expect you will be very pleased to know that they were a great success. Last Sunday we went to Te Aroha and bad a lovely swim. Next Friday we are having a bazaar, and on Thursday, December 14, presentation of prizes to the secondary school Is to be held In Morrinsvllie, while distribution or or presents to the classes at the primer school is held. Our garden is looking very gay now, with all the popples, irises, sweet peas, carnations, all kinds of roses In diHerein shades, including standard roses, pansies, gladiolis, livingstone daisies, spraxias, all coloured ixias, evergreen, all in full bloom. Last Monday the school went to the pictures which was specialy put on by the A.A. Association. First or all they showed us pictures in colour or Germany, Paris, and France, and all of New Zealand, and it was very interesting and pretty. Anybody that hasn’t seen it has no idea wbat our native country is like. We have been very busy paperhanging and getting things restive-like Tor Christmas. Well I think I have told you everything for now. Hoping you are keeping well. With love from Lucky Wendy (14), Morrinsvllle. Such a jolly letter yours was. Lucky Wendy, and Peter hopes you have the happiest or Christmases. The picture, sounds very interesting, Peter thinks, and he is glad your sport-s day was such a success.—Peter Pan. A FAREWELL LETTER Dear Peter Pan, —I think this will probably be tbe last letter to the circle, because my slxteentb birthday is quickly nearing. I am sorry to leave, because I enjoyed writing letters to it and entering for competition.

I came second In our class in the examinations. At our last day at Technical Tor sewing we had a Tashion parade, and we wore the dresses we had made, parading first up the classroom by ourselves and then in pairs. It was really Tun and we were all a little nervous at first but this had to be overcome.

Last Sunday, two friends and I went yachting on the lake. There was a good wind blowing and we all received a good dampening Trom the spray which flew up on either side or the bow. I am a disgusting sailor because once or twice I let the vn-ht rv > "'ey would not let me have tbe tiller again. Sti n determined to leum .ill the boat and

then there may be come fun! Now I will being complaining about the weather. It’s awful, rain and win, ralnd and win, and the poor gardens are ihe things that suffer. Nearly everything In my garden ts laid out fial. During some of the fine weather I have been transplanting a lot or lettuce plants. There are'still quite a few’ more to be transplanted and the beetroot have to be done, too. The weather we are having now Is no good for outdoor games either. Last Thursday. Dad bought a brand new car. It Is a Singer to. is a fawn colour and has only done a thousand—no a hundred and something miles. We are all thrilled about it but Dad doesn’t seem too eager to let me learn to drive. He might not like sending the car to the garacre too early for repairs. Well. Peter Pan, I think I had better go now. Cheerio and lots or love and future success Tor your Circle, and best wishes for Chrtstmas.—Greek Shepherdess (15), Hamilton. Peter is so sorry that the time has arrived for you to leave our happy circle, Greek Shepherdess, and he hopes you have every success along the road of lire. Do write to us occasionally and let us know how you are getting on, won’t you? —Peter Pan.
