II see you have he agreed, with a
laugh. We'll, we'll hop home now, and
see what Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy has
for supper.
Uncle Wiggily and Baby Bunty were
hopping along when, all of a sudden,
out from under a pile Of dried grass,
jumped the bad old Magoosielum. The
Magoosielum Is worse than either the
Pipsisewah Of the Skuddlemagoon.
"Ah, ha, I'm in luck today cried
and a rabbit girl, Let me see. whose
souse shall l eat first? l guess I'll take
yours, Uncle Wiggily."
With that the Magoosielum let go OF
Baby Bunty, well knowing she would
not run away without Uncle Wiggily,
Then the Magoosielum began looking
at the rabbit gentieman's ears TO see
where the best place would be to be-
gin eating souse. For that is what
souse is-pickled ears of nice rabbits.
well, III take some left ear souse
first said the Magoosielum, and ne
was just starting to do this, and Uncle
Wiggily didn't know what to do. The
rabbit gentleman saw Baby Bunty open
her paint box.
THAT will not help any" sadly
thought Uncle Wiggily. THE only thing
that will drive away a Magoosielum is
pineapple cheese, and Baby Bunty has
none of that
Then the bad animal stood in front
Of Uncle Wiggily, picking out a good
place to begin nibbling the souse, SO
Mr.. Longears couldn't see what Bunty
was doing with the paint box. All he
could see was that she was near a
funny, gnaried and e-blackened
stump.
But all of a sudden, Baby Bunty
cried:
Look out now, you bad old Magoo-
| Simply Snappy, will get YOU
And, as true as I'm telling you, there
stood what seemed to be a little, short,
squatty animal. with a big red mouth,
a green nose. one yellow eye n one

ran the bad chap, not hurting Mr..
Longears nor Bunty at all.
But won't the SIMPLY Snappy get

"Of course not laughed Bunty. II

vision. And 1t is equally true that young
men are more readily attracted by girls
Of unblemished charms.
Yet gloomily to reiterate these things
will only tend to increase her self-con.
seriousness and her moroid sense of de-
feet, n thereby serve 10 make her
even less attractive.
On the other hand, let her try the
optimistic viewpoint. Let her tell her
self what is unquestionably ~true-that
a physical disability never yet acted as
a bar to any human aspiration, provided
the moral and mental courage was there
to disregard it. Let her remember that
1t Is the bellies and the beauties who
chiefly recruit the ranks of old-maid-
hood.
And there is a reason. The woman
who feels her lack of physical charms
instinctively tries to overcome her de-
~ficiencies. She makes the most of
the good points she has and cultivates
her mind and disposition. Nine times
out of ten she is a far better COM
panion than the mere beauty, and that
is what counts when it comes to love
and marriage.
I read only the other cay the inspir-
ing photographed sketch of a woman
who in childhood had lost her right
arm. Did 1t daunt her? Not at all. She
went right ahead and made a sue
cessful career for herself as a news
paper woman and also as a homemaker,
for she is a happy wife and mother.
1t is the minds eye that is important,
not that which Is set beneath the fore
head. II one can visualize herself as
a sweetheart and wife, loving and be-
loved; il one can picture herself as the
mistress Of a happy home and conf
IDENTIFY believe in the realization of 1t,
that belief will 80 irradiate her rife that
all men will find her attractive, and
the "one man will come to her even
though seas and continents divide them.
And, believe me, he will not regard
any such trifling thing as an artificial
eye "just cause or legal impeachment
why they W should not be joined to-
gether."
what's an eye more or less between
optimists, anyhow?
