M muskrat lady, who kept the hol-
= low stump bungalow in Wood
land for Uncle Wiggily LOngears, the
rabbit gentleman, tied her Tap on her
mead with the strings IN q bow under
her chin, took the broom in her paws
and began to sweep the parlOr.
I must make everything nice and
tidy" said the muskrat lady 10 her
self, for there is no telling when that
funny bunny uncle viii bring home
company to tea or coffee And
wouldn't want any one to see dirt and
dust in my parlor-not for two worlds
and part OF a lOuypOp."
So the muskrat lady swept the car
pet and she was Just going to knock
the dust of the furniture upon the
floor, when the telephone bell rang

speaking. Of course, in muskrat Ian
guage- Yes, this is Miss Fuzzy Wuz-
"" she went on. @Oh, hello, Mrs
me TO come right over2 Why, what
has happened Oh, your little girl
Lulu has swallowed a shoe button
And you want me 10 help get it out Of
her throat? Well, I'm in the middle
Never mind about that" cried Uncle
Wiggily LOngears, the rabbit gentle
man himself, coming in from the hall
in time TO hear the talk. Let the dust

and help Lulu Wibblewobble, my little
duck girl friend Drop everything and
But the dusting." said Nurse Jane.
1T isn't done, and if any one should

enough about housekeeping for that"
well" I don't believe you know how
10 dust said the muskrat lady, but
I can do it when I come back III

out of Lulu'S throat
Taking off her sweeping cap, away
ran Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, and Uncle Wig
gily waited anxious for good news to
come over the telephone wire, saying
that Lulu was all right.
And while I'm waiting" thought the
old gentleman rabbit, 4 might Just as
well finish the busting for Nurse Jane
I'll show her I know that much about
housekeeping, even if once did make
a hickory nut cake without taking off
the shells"
The old rabbit gentleman picked up
the dust cloth Nurse Jane had been
using, and he tried TO put on her sweep
ing cap, to be proper like and stylish
But his ears were in the way
Never mind" he said to himself, I
can wear my tall silk hat That will
do just as we'll" So he put that on.
Now let me see" said Uncle Wiggily.
when you dust the piano do your rub
the dust cloth on the piano. or rub the
piano on the dust clOth2 III try both
ways"
But Uncle Wiggily found it easier to
rub the cloth on the furniture, instead
Of rubbing the chairs and tables on
the cloth, and thus he started busting
He had only knocked a few grains of
dust off the bookcase when the bell
rang. and in came Grandfather Goosey
Gander, the goose gentleman

Scotch checkers with you, Uncle Wig
Eily," said the goose gentleman
Good" cried the rabbit uncle we

Gown
Then the two animal friends began
TO play the game, and Uncle Wiggily
forgot all about the busting he was
going TO do to surprise Nurse Jane,
and make her think he knew a little
about Housekeeping
Uncle Wiggily won one game, and
Grandpa GoOsey another, and they were
fust going to play the third, when the
loor bell rang, and there stood Mr.. Big
tail, the fox.
