My dear Children.

HONGKONG.

The Buried Flowers that we had a - few weeks ago were very popular, so this week I am putting in six Buried Fish for you to guess. I wonder if any of you will be able to guess them as you did before? If you can, just send the answers to me, c'o the Editor."The China Mail Office".

There is another thing that I want to ask you. Do any of you ever make up stories and write them down? If you do, I wish you would send them to me to see. I started writing stories when I was about eight and always thought it was great fun, Then my sister and I started a magazine and somebody gave us a duplicator (which is a kind of print ing machine) and we brought out 100 copies a month, Some of you try to write things too I expect and if you get stuck over writing tales or bits of poetry perhaps I could help you The more you send the better pleased I shall be because I always like hearing from any of you..

Your loving.

THE FAIRIES WASHING DAY.

Dicky had a swing in his garden. One day he was swinging lazily back wards and forwards singing "Seesaw Margery Daw" when he noticed a long trail of creeper which was hang- ing between two bushes. Now there was something strange about these leaves; they all looked different shapes and somehow not like ordin ary leaves. Also some were green.
