Fuzzy Wuzzy2" politely asked the rao-
bit gentleman 1t can't be that your
tail doesn't look pretty, for 1 think

ribbon on it

Of replied the muskrat lady That
Will do very well, il 1 tie another knot
in it But 1 can't seem to make the
parlOr look pretty"

Wiggily said with a jolly laugh, as ne
locked at picture of a lollypOp play
ing tag with SNOWFALL But il seems
TO me, Nurse Jane. that the piano has
scratched one Of its legs. Don't you
think you had better send for DR.. Pos

"Oh, wiggy, VIII you De seriOus2'
asked the muskrat lady. as she put
some talcum powder on the end Of her
nose so it would not be too shiny for
the mosquitoes &c slide down TAX
ing about the scratched legs Of the
piano. The ideal"
But doesn't it hurt?' the rabbit gen
tleman wanted to know
Not in the least" answered Miss
Fuzzy WuZZy. The LEGS were scratched
when Billie Bushytail, the boy squirrel.
cracked some hickory nuts on them.
But If / rub banana peeling over the
marks they will not snow But that
isn't what worries me, Wiggy."

tleman.
oh, I'm worried because I have no
nice bright flowers TO put in the par
Tor TO make it look cheerful" said the
muskrat lady.
"Of course, il it were summer she
went on, I would have no trouble
gathering bright pOsies. But now it is
winter, with snow on the ground, and
all the flowers have gone TO sleep. The
rubber plant you gave me for my
birthday is very nice, Mr.. Longears, but
want something bright, red and
cheerful in the parlor- For my friend.
Mrs Wibblewobble. the duck lady, is
coming TO call and 1 like the parlor to
look nice"
so do L" spoke the rabbit gentle
man III go out in the woods and see
II l cannot find something for you"
OFF started Uncle Wiggily, over the
fields and through the woods, leaning
on his red. white and blue striped bar
Der pole rheumatism crutch that Nurse
Jane had gnawed for him out Of a
cornstalk.
The bunny uncle did not find any
flowers. OF course, but he did find
bush with pretty red berries on It The
berries were as bright a red as the
comb a rooster wears on his head.
They were seed berries.
~Oh. bunch Of those red berries will
do finely for Nurse Jane to trim up
our bungalow parlor" cried Uncle
Wiggily. So he picked a big pawful OF
the pretty red branches and started
back with them.
The rabbit gentleman had not gone
very far through the woods before he
heard a sad. crying sound, and a voice
bOo-hOOingly said.
"Oh, dear! I've lost them and 7 don't
know what to do. Oh. how sorry I am
Hal Some one in trOuDlet" thought
Uncle Wiggily. Il must see if I can
help them He was always that way.
Uncle Wiggily was. But first" he
said, I must take a look and make sure
IT is not the fuzzy fox"
So Mr. LOngears peeBed over the
bushes. and there he saw sitting on a
log Lulu WibblewObble. the duck girl
And Lulu was crying tears. which ran
down her broad yellow bill like a spoon.
"Oh. Lulu" asked Uncle Wiggily.
What is the natter"
"Oh, 1 am in such trOublei' answered
