Girls' and Boys' Corner

Dear Kiddies, ‹

The jumbled flower competition brought in some really splendid entries, including some beautiful colour work from the Seniors. Painting, as you've no doubt been told at school, should be | done with a full brush, without the nid of sketching in pencil. For

this rewon, those children who followed this rule got more points. than others. Taking this factor, as well as correctness of colour, age nud neatness into areount, I find that the highest number of marks was won in the Sonder Section by Elfone Mok füged (3), 41A Conduit Rond, for a benulis ful study of five pansles in a bowl.

The Juniors only and to give the correct names of the flowers. Most of the entries were correol, hút taking age and neatness into consideration, 1 have decided that the prize shall go to Binoy Deb (aged 71, 17 Robinson Rend.

Will the winners call 'at the "Telegraph" office for their prizes? Specially commended for good work are. Ada 22. Poster, Magdalene Tig, Fernando Alves, Betty Goodwin, Marjorie Tod, Andrew Chon, Fernno Carval ho, Hilarin Antonio, Elsa Laurel, if Enger, Eileen Smyth, Bo Shuk-chun Celeste Marques, Margaret Chon, Margie Xavier, Isebel Morrison and Norrla Gilen amongst the Seniors; and Claude S. Coom, Violette dos Remedios, Kenneth Mok, Kathieen Morrison, Tony Xavier, Arthur Fisher, Gloria Revillé and Diana Hosking among the Juniors.

Now, kiddies, as you've done so well in this Competition, I'm giving you one of exactly the same kind this week. Only this time the jumbled letter represent names of birds,
