The Children’s Corner

Dear Boys AND GiRLs,We are getting on famously with our "Priceless Wireless Zoo," are we not? How do you like our "Smiler’? I think he makes an admirable second animal, and the prize is carried off by Alma Chamberlain, Riccarton, this time. I am going to make the closing date for No. 3, the criticising "Krytik,’ just a week later, just to give you a little more time to get in before closing date. Last week such a lot of "Howlers" arrived after the door was shut, so we will haye an extension till August 31. I think you are all splendid with your .drawings, and when our. Zoo is complete, I am going to mount them all to bang in a row on the wall over my desk. For No, 4 shall we havé a "Faydout"? He is a gentle, ghostlike creature, very timid and "trembly.* He never talks aloud-he only whispers and sighs. There’s no accounting for him-he just comes and goes, and, being so timid, there’s no chance of getting hold of him. Have him ready with his verse by September 14-plenty of time to get bright ideas! . My family has grown so large in such a short time that I am beginning to feel like the old woman who lived in a shoe. You manage to keep me very‘busy, but so long as you are happy I wouldn't have it otherwise. Now, get to work again without delay-there’s quite a lot to be done !-Your loving, Arier.
