Uncle Wiggily Longears, the nice
old rabbit gentleman, was going abou
to and fro in his hollow stump bunga
low, whistling and singing. dom
mean he was doing both at the same
time, for not even lady mouse
school teacher can do that; and every
body knows they are wonderful.
What Uncle Wiggily did was tt
whistle part of the time and sing the
! other part.
"My. but it seems to me you are ex
ira jolly" said Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy, the muskrat lady houskeeper
why yes, do feel bit that way,
admitted Uncle Wiggily, stopping his
whistle and beginning to sing.
ut is because am going out, over tc
call on Mrs. Stubtail, the bear LADY,
asked Nurse Jane.
ooh. of course mott" Uncle Wiggily
said, beginning to whistle and stop
ping his song. 1.-The ideal"
We'll, l believe that is why you are
so Jolly" Nurse Jane went on. You
know have got to go out and leave
you in the house by yourself. l am
sure you are gald Of it and that you

"Oh, far be it from me even to dream
OF such a thing!" cried Uncle W1gglly
stopping both his singing and whist
ling and making his nose twinkle IN
stead.
well, whatever you do. don't sew
any oranges up in your socks begged
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy, and Uncle Wigglly
said he would not. He seemed very
happy about something or other.
Well, finally Nurse Jane, tying he1
tail I'D in pink ribbon, so she would
look pretty, went out calling on the
bear lady. And, no sooner was the
muskrat lady housekeeper out OF sight
than Uncle Wiggily whistled louder
than ever, and sang twice as many
songs.
Now for that candy" he exclaimed
Il thought she would never go out and
let me do as please. And really there
is no harm in my making bit OF
candy for the animal children, think >
For that is what the rabbit gentle
man was going to do and as Nurse
Jane never liked him puttering around
her Kitchen he had to wait until she
went out to do his fussing.
Uncle Wiggily was soon very busy
He got out saucepans and kettles and
dishes of butter, cruets of vinegar,
box of sugar and bag Of nuts.
Its going to be nut candy this
time!' he exclaimed, as he did par1
of whistle and half of song. Nut
candy; and then Billie and Johnnie
Bushytail, the squirrel boys, will like
it. Now to put the candy on the stove
to cook"
Uncle Wiggily mixed up the dineren
things-sugar and butter and milk ant
chocolate and nut meats-Whatevel

OF you know about that better than
do. Anyrow, soon the candy was boil

Let us look upon the manner in which Europe
celebrated Christmas before the war.

glittering treasures. for every household must
contain some bright trinket in honor Of Noel The

fire on this, the day of good will.
In Germany and Austria every housemother and
every father makes Christmas the feast for the
children, the great day OF reunion, the glad time
when all meet under the old rooftree, and social
customs prevail over religious observances. The
Christmas tree is ubiquitous-everyone has 1t,
rich or poor-and no one omits Weihnachts
Bescheerung or Christmas gifts. To provide these,
the German people will, II need be, save up half
the year. Each member of the household must
have something as a surprise, generally service
able prese nts that are often needed and always
acceptable.
Singularly enough, the Christmas is not cele-
brated as one would expect in Italy. There the
night of the year is less religious festival than
a fair. The world seems absorbed in delirious
excitement and all crowd round Pulcinello and
divert themselves hilariously till the churches
claim them for the midnight mass. But the fun
goes on they laugh gleefuly, as only ltalians
can laugh, enjoy themselves to their hearts con-
tent, but the celebrations are not home celebra-
tons; 1t is a general, not domestic. feast.
In Russia and Poland the children put their
shoes filled with hay outside the door for the
horses of ST. Nicholas: and It Is believed In most
sections that st. Nicholas comes first on pre-
paratory visit ten days before Christmas to learn
which children have been good. He leaves nuts
