PETER PAN’S LETTER

J)EAR GIRLS AND BOYS, Heigh ho ! for lovely Spring days with their blue skies and warm golden sunshine, their bird songs and lovely soft flower fragrances. Everywhere Peter looks he can sec more and more signs of Lady Spring’s visit. The other day Uncle Andy arrived to take the Circle People for a visit to the country—and what a beautiful place it Is too. Greenest of green fields are everywhere and here and there are tiny white lambs, looking very shaky «: heir long, long legs, sheltering behind the thick wool of their mu; m ,:s or having such a jolly game of tiggy-touch-wood between themselves. Then there arc masses of golden buttercups and white pink-tipped daisies to be found in nearly every paddock, while the hawthorn trees are looking very fresh and green with their bright, new leaves. Gayest of gay gardens were everywhere and Peter saw mass ;s of pale cream primroses peeping from between pale green leaves and bushes of waxen camellias in palest or pale pink and pure white seemed to be blooming in the most unexpected places. Then there was a huge bed of golden daffodils dancing In the breeze and 1 _>oking like a pool of fairy gold, while not far away Peter found some winter roses in bloom and very beautiful they looked too with tiny jewels of dew shining on their mauvey-purple and white petals. And now lots of love to you all, little people, to the big ones, the little ones and those in between and hopes for sunny smiles from the Weather Man. From yours, On-top-of-the-world,
