Bedtime Story For the Little Ones
UNCLE wIGGILY AND THE CHICKwEED.
BY HOWARD R. GARIS.

leaves are chick. but II IS chickweed.
and not a plant which viii turn into
little chickens It is only a weed, so
must pull II ID and cut IL down or II
will spoil nv farm" and Uncle Wig
gfly raised his crutch. as though he
would beat the chickweed all to pieces.
"Oh. please don't spoil US" begged
the chickweed- 1T is true We are
neither a fruit nor vegetable. Out
II YOU let US grow on your farm we
may be able TO do some friend Of yours
a favor. Let US stay"
Now Uncle wiggiIy had the kindest
heart I'm the world. so when he heard
the chickwed say this he scratched his
whiskers, twinkled his pink nose, and,
webbing his ears, said:
We'll I suppose I'll have TO. But,
dear me. II this keeps on I'll have
nothing but weeds on my farm How
ever. I'll let you grow this time. But
don't DO it again!'
So the chickweed promised It
wouldn't, and Uncle Wiggily and Sam
ME went on over the farm. After
while Sammie went TO the lollypop
store to get an ice cream cone. and the
rabbit gentleman hoped along to his
hollow stump house
No sooner had he gotten there than
he saw Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housekeeDer. running up
and down on the porch, tying her tail
in hard knots and quickly taking them
out again
why, whatever IS the mater. Jane7"
asked the rabbit
"Oh, matter enough she cried.
Charlie. the little chicken boy OF Mrs
Cluck-Cluck. the hen lady, is very Ill
We have sent for DR.. Possum but he
isn't in his office. Mrs Cluck-CluclI
says if she could only find some chick
weed for Charlie he would soon be
better without having the doctor"
'ChickweedP' cried Uncle Wiggily.
Say no mOrel I know where some is
and III get ii at once" Then, jumping
into his automobile and sprinkling
make them go faster, he soon rode TO
that part Of his farm where the chick
weed grew.
quick" cried the bunny uncle. Il
need some Of your leaves 10 make
Charlie Chick better May I take
some-"
aAs much as you like" said the
chickweed. Then Uncle Wiggily
plucked some leaves and blossoms, and
when Mrs. Cluck-Cluck had made tea
OF them and Charlie had slipped II he
was all well again
"Oh. I'm so glad I didn't pull up that
chickWeed on my farm" said Uncle
Wfgrilv that night. 1T Is good, even
if il isn't q fruit or vegetable"
So this teaches US that everything
has some use in this world, even

ANNIE LITTLETAIL4 the rabbit
boy, was one day taking hop,
- skip and a jump over the farm OF
Uncle Wiggily Longears. the bunny
gentleman, about whom I have told
you so many stories.
Ny. Uncle Wiggily certainly has
nice farm" said Ssmmie, as he looked
at the popcorn and baked beans and the
succotash and the tomato salad and
eggplants. 10 say nothing OF the car
rots and lettuce, growing in the fields
The horse-radish was running toward
the beans which were climbing up
poles just like the man in the circus,
and the strong onions were making the
potatoes blink their eyes, so they
couldn't talk to the ears Of corn
Sammie saw some little, green, shiny
leaves. with tiny flowers among them,
growing close to the ground.
"Oh. wonder what that plant Isl
exclaimed the rabbit boy.
I am the chickweed, il you please"
was the cheerful answer.
"Chickweedt" cried Sammie. Say no
more I must tell Uncle Wiggily about
this"
Away hoped the rabbit boy TO where

"Oh, Uncle wiggily." cried sammie.
What do you think found growing

answered the old rabbit gentleman.
Il hope the old skillery-scaley alli-
gator hasn't been planting moth balls,

NO, IT isn't like that" Sammie said.
It's a plant that will grow little
chickens. Come and see IL quick, be-
fore II goes away"
"a plant that grows little chickens"
Uncle Wiggily cried That is very
strange ] did not know I had that
kind on my farm. I'll come with you
right away. Sammie-"
SO the old rabbit gentleman, taking
his red. white and blue striped rheu-
matism crutch down off the porch rail-
ing where il was having a rest,
started off with Sammie across the
farm
There It IS Uncle Wiggily," cried
Sammie, pointing TO the green leaves
growing down in a corner by the fence.
There is the plant that viii make

Uncle Wiggily. But II never wiz hap

Beauty Chats
Correct Riding

A RECENT CHAT ABOUT horseback riding
and its identifying effects brought
forth a number Of letters as to how
to ride, and what to wear. "As 1
want 10 look as pretty riding as when
at a dance" writes one young girl, 81
think you should suggest the most
becoming costume for me"
So I waited only long enough to
borrow the best looking riding toys
from a leading New York shop, and
to have it photographed on one Of
their models. This is the smart
habit Of the season-for, Of course,
no one rides side-saddle any more.
The smartest girls in all our big
cities are turning out IN such fetch
ing toys as these
This shepherds plaid will be be-
coming TO every type Of woman. It
is semi-ftting, with a knee-length
haring skirt to the coat. The
knickers beneath are cut full and pro-
tected, where the knee grips the sad
die. BY a piece Of black cloth. The
high boots conceal the leg, and pro-
tect It from briars and underbrush
when riding through the country.
Side-saddle riding is apt to hurt
the horses back, and certainly
throws out Of place the spine and
hips Of the rider. It was started be-
cause Anne Boleyn was lame in one
foot. and ashamed to show it when
riding. And court ladies in those
DAYS followed their queens lead in
fashions-a habit they have sensibly
outgrown since the days Of Henry
VIII.
Yes, dress yourself sensibly and
ride as much as you can, good
weather and bad. It will. improve
your digestion, clear your Skin and
add Iustre to your eyes There is no
other outdoor sport like it for Joy
and health.
Dressed in a suit like this, wom-
an is master Of her horse. Even If he
throws her. she is free and IN
