OLD NANCY'S

GLORY

BOX

 

INTERESTING LETTERS.

The following Fun Children wrote very interest-

ing letters to Old Nancy. She sends them all her fondest love and greetings:—  

Bertha Ramsey (Clydesdale)—Your name was en-          

tered in the fun book some time ago. I am now     looking forward to contributions from you: Doreen       McKeown (Heskett)—Thank you for the photograph     of the snow. It is very beautiful; Howard Evans   (Brucknell); Bob Sanderson (Brighton); Alec Draf-         fin (Capdigan); Margaret Bayer (Tongala East);   you need to take more pains with the rhythm of   your verse. Read other poems and try to make     your verse "sing" as they do; Len Buchanan (New Gisborne); Margery Archer (Lyndhurst)—Your         verse was nearly good enough for the Glory Box;   but "Good bye" does not rhyme with "Hurrah,"

does it? Keep on trying; Murna Edlin (Deepdene)   —Blue Wren sends his love to Tibby. Don't forget     that all verse must be quite original; Shirley Beale (Finley, N.S.W.)—Don't be faint-hearted             about your verse writing. Keep on trying; Leila   Baldwln (Carlton): Lyle Gray (Sale): Ada Stewart   (Diggora West)—Your word square goes into the     Glory Box; Pauline Hewlings (Moonee Ponds):

Joline Davis (Armadale)—Your sketch is rather too       careless and scratchy. Take more pains, and I am         sure you will improve.

WELCOME TO THE FUN FAMILY.
