UNCLE WIGGIIiY AND THE
HASTINGS.
(By Howard n. Garis.)

| One day, just as Uncle Wiggily
was getting ready to hop away from
| ish hollow stump bungalow, to go
look for the adventure in the fields
or woods, the bunny rabbit gentle
man heard Nurse Jane calling him.
Are you going to do anything
this evening, Wiggy?" asked Miss
Fuzzy W.uzzy.
"Wel, nothing special, except
stay on the porch and read the
news in the Cabbage Leaf Gazette"
he answered. "If any of my little
animal friends come over they may
want me to read them the Bedtime
Story" he went on. "Why, Nurse
Jane, 'is there anything 1 may
have the pleasure of doing for
you?"
well, l would like to go to the
movies this evening"" spoke the
muskrat lady. THAT is, if I get
my new dress finished in time
I'm sewing on it now"
"All right, I'll come home early
read the paper and We'll go to the
pictures" said the bunny uncle.
"And I'll hurry the work on my
dress" said Nurse Jane.
So, while Uncle Wiggily hoped
over the fields and through the
woods, looking for an adventure
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy stitched
and sewed the ruffles, cores, gath
her new dress that she wanted to
wear to the movies.
Il do hope I get it finished in
time" she said.
Now all this while, Uncle Wig
gily was hopping here and there,
looking for an adventure. But he
could not seem to find any. At
last he said;
ooh, I'm going home and put
some shoe polish on my tall silk
hat to get ready to go to the pic
lures with Nurse Jane. Maybe I'll
have an adventure there"
So he hoped over mulberry
bush, because he was feeling good,
and his rheumatism didn't bother
him much that day, and home he
skipped to his hollow stump bun
galow.
"Oh, Uncle Wiggily!" cried Nurse
Jane, when she saw him. I'm so
glad you came back early I'm in
peck of troubled"
"Well, that isn't as bad as If 1t
were a bushel," laughed Mr.. Long
ears. whats the matter?"
ooh, Mrs. Lttletail, the rabbit
lady, Just telephoned me to come
over and see what's the matter
with Susie" spoke Nurse Jane.
Susie swallowed some lettuce
leaves the wrong way and they've
sent for DR.. Postum. Mrs. Little
tail is so nervous"
Then you skip right along over
there" said Uncle Wiggily.
Il was going to-" remarked Nurse
Jane, but what about my new
dress? 1t is all finished but pulling
out the hastings. If | only had
some one to do that ! could go to
Mrs. Littletail's and still get back
in time to wear my new gown to
the pictures tonight. But / don't
see how | can, if 1 leave the bast-
ings in ....-
"Io! hastings! I'll pull them out
if you show me what they are,
said Uncle Wiggily. "Are hastings
anything like hens or ruffles?"
"Oh, you silly bunny!' laughed
Nurse Jane. hastings are the long,
white threads that are put In to
hold a dress together until it can
be sewed properly. After the dress
is sewed as mine is, the hastings
have to be pulled out"
I'm do it," said Uncle Wiggily.
"Show me what to do"
So Nurse Jane showed him how
to take hold of the long. white
thread basting stitches and pull
them out. And while Uncle Wig

It used to be said by opponents of woman suf-

hear of working the shell game the fake check
trick on women. Women have keen intuition
that perces through good many masks. In the
suffrage states they have shown full ability to care
for their own interests.
