Dear Kiddies,
You sent in a nice lot of entries for last week's Competition, and I must congratulate many of you on having cut the pieces of the motor-car out so neatly and put them in their proper places. Some of the colouring by the Senior's was also very good.
I've gone through the entries very carefully, and, after taking nge and good work into necount, I find that the best Senior effort is that of Helen Hanger (aged 13), 402 The Penk,
The Junior award goes to Desmond Rodger (aged 6). 157 Waterloo Road, Kowloon.

Now, children, I suppose you are all talking and thinking about the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth; aren't you? Well, I'm giving you this week a Coronation Competition. You will see in the sketch a plain cushion cover. All you have to do is to decorate it with nsultable Coronation design..
Your design can be lettering, a Crown, or similar device, or even a So monogrum-anything, in fact, which has to do with the Coronation. here's a chance to try your skill. I know it won't be very easy, but I'm sure you would like to look back un the Coronation and remember how you tried to win a prize.
When you have done the design, colour it either in paints or crayons. There will be two prizes, as usual one for Seniors, and the other for Juniors. Don't forget to give your age when sending in your entries, which must reach me not later than 1 p.m. on Wednesday.

Yscult, who is only 11 years of age; is a newcomer to the Colony, having arrived last December. Her story, is so good that other child- ren will no doubt like to read it. It is entitled "Elizabeth Ann's Lesson."
Here it is:)

There was onco a ittle girl who would not practice her music. She was supposed to do an hour a day, but she did adt. Her nurse tried begging her; enaxing her; scolding her, but still she would not do an hour. The little girl was very lazy and her

The Sad Story Of D'Vauncey
And The Hon. Maude
The burglar's name was James Gaspard D'Vauncey. His father was a vicar in the little village of Upper Woopsey On The Wold, Hants. He led a blameless life up to the age of eight, when he ran away from home and joined a clipper bound for Hongkong.
In his innocence, the boy had thought thint a clipper was a hair-dresser.
RRIVING at Hongkong he
was persuaded to become an Insurance canvasser. This was his first step on the down- ward path.
One day he forged his father's signature to a Hongkong Ilotel chit. He was caught in the act, and from then on decided that society syat against him.
Now look at him! Let it be a warning to you.
The lady in the case is the Honour able Maude Cranborough-Heath, She was at one time a chorus girl, as was her mother before her. Her mother married Lord Cranborough in the carly 60's, but owing to her husband's mily wild and dissolute habits the family fortune was soon dissipated, like his Jordship, and she was flung out into the cold world with her only chiki soon after Lord Cranborough shot himself in the reading-room of the Conservative Club.
Little Maude soon learned to batile for herself and became a flower-
seller. One day she was idly doing the spills on the pavement, business being dull, and kicking the hats off passers-by. A RTcal enterpreneur noticed her, and she so impressed him that he engaged her to appear In the chorus of his next revue.
From that time she never looked back. Why should she? She knew who was following her.

"I'm minding those!" he repiled, brightly.
"But listen, woman. You knew I was a scene-shifter in the same com- pany when you were in the chorus, a nail-fille I know that you stuck through the bottom of that yacht 80 that you could get your husband's millions"

Murder of Mrs.
Parradas
SOLUTION
Playfair had spotted the absence from the room of any means of sealing the "suicide" letter. The wax and signzi-ring ordinary used by Mrs. Parrados were left in a conspicuous position on the table,, but the murderess-her sister- had taken away the cigarette ligh- ter with which she hud melted the was. Mra. Parrudos did not smoke, and there were neither matches nor lighter in the room. This fact made it virtually certain that the letter was a fake.
