Pretty soon Lulu and Alice wfb-
Iblewobble. the two duck gipls, came

"Oh. now for the snowb ball cake-'
cried the little rabbit sister OF Sam

So the two duck girls and the little
rabbit girl scampered about in the
snow making balls. Uncle Wiggily

yellow bowl which he had used for
Sammie's icicle pudding. He also
brought out a long-handled spoon.

Susie. have you and Lulu and Alice
made about forty-leven snowballs?"

quacked Lulu.
Very good. Put them all in this
yellow bowl" advised Uncle wiggiIy.
and that was done. "I will now stir
them up with the spoon" went on the
rabbit uncle. like a magician doing
tricks in a circus.
So Mr.. Longears stirred and stirred
and stirred, and Lulu, Alice and Susie.
looking at one another in a funny way
began to wonder il everything would
be all right.
Aren't you going to put in any
sugar or milk or eggs or vanilla like
you did in Sammie's icicle pudding"
asked Susie.
"Hum suz dud! I'll see about that"
spoke Uncle Wiggily. The first thing
to do is to stir the snowballs well.
Now that is done. so I'll set the bowl
down here on the back steps to cool
or"
"oh. Uncle wiggily. You're fool
ing!" quacked Alice. "As IL snowballs
weren't cool enough all by them
selves"
NC I'm not fooIing a bit: really"
said the bunny. I'll set the bowl
down here on the back steps and then
we'll all go in the burrow, or under
e. opnd house. Quick. into the house
ell Of you," and Uncle Wiggily. leav-
ing the bowl OF snowballs outside on
, the steps, fairly pushed Susie, Lulu
md Alice inside the kitchen, and shut
and locked the door.

wiggily?" asked Nurse Jane. as she
saw what was going on. Isn't the
SNOWFALL cake any good?"
Its good enough for who is going
tn eat it." said the bunny. Look!
He pointed to the window, and Susie
and the others saw the bad old Pip
sisewah rush up and put his paws and
nose down to the bowl Of stirred up
snowballs.
That's why I hurried you into
the house." said Mr.. Longears, when
he had made sure the door was
locked "I looked up. saw the OLD
Pip coming and thought I'd fool
him. So I didn't bother to finish
the SNOWFALL cake, but just LETT
the no-good cold part out there TO
eat IL he wants to. We can easily
get more snowballs."
well. he's eating 'em all right"
said Susie.
And, surely enough, the Pip.
