one morning. He was just leaving his

YOU, answered Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy
But here is a little something l just

She gave Uncle Wiggily beautiful
pair of red mittens, which she had
been knitting the last few nights, when
she was staying at home instead of
going to the movies.
"Oh, thank you, Nurse Jane! Thank
you very much!' And Uncle Wiggily
blew his muskrat lady housekeeper a
kiss from the tip end of his paw, he
was so much obliged.

Also, her life held many distressing
perplexties She said that she had
reached point where she was on the
verge of melanchoia, when she decided
to face about in the right direction.
Every night before she went to bed,
she made 1t a point to recall all the
pleasant things that had happened to
her during the day. She fixed her mind
steadily on these, and refused to con
slider the doleful or annoying happen
ings.
She also said that she taught herself
to smile. It was just mechanical Wild

braVely on until 1t became the real
thing, and she even reached the point
where she could laugh heartily several
times during the "A hours.
