UNCLE WIGGHY AND THE
CHRISTMAS CAKE.
(By Howard r.. CARTS

"Well, now that we have the
Christmas tree in our hollow
stump bungalow, so that / can be-
gin trimming it, l suppose / must
begin thinking about the Christmas
cake" said Nurse Jane Fuzzy
Wuzzy one morning as Uncle Wig
gily came down to breakfast, The
nice old gentleman bunny skipped
from step to step. instead of slid
ing down the banisters of his hol-
low stump bungalow as he some
times did. For Nurse Jane didn't
exactly like that,
Christmas cake!" cried Uncle
Wiggily, his pink nose twinkling
twice as fast because it was so near
Christmas, "Ill go right out and
buy the best one in the five and six
cent store, Nurse Jane"
ooh, Wiggy! As if 1 would BUY

muskrat lady housekeeper. 81 al
ways make one. even though it
does take a lot of time"
MAY | not have the pleasure Of
helping you?" asked Uncle Wiggily
There are so many things that go
into a Christmas cake that surely
may have a little part in making
one"
Eyes, you may" said Nurse Jane.
"I'll need sugar and spice and lots
of things nice. and, if you want to
be real help. hop over to the
store and get the things l tell you." .
Most delighted that he could do
Nurse Jane a favor, Uncle Wiggily
held his paw on his pink nose to
stop the twinkling while he ate
breakfast, and then, putting on his
tall, silk hat and taking his red,
white and blue striped rheumatism
crutch out of his clothes basket,
the bunny gentleman started from
his hollow stump bungalow.
For the Christmas cake / shall
need sugar. raisins, candied citron,
cocoanut. chocolate and pineap-
pies sauce" called Nurse Jane aft
er the bunny.
eyes, ] know. It is all written
down" and Uncle Wiggily twisted
his eyes sideways to look at the
back of his white collar where
Nurse Jane had written a list of
everything he was to bring from
the store.
For Uncle Wiggily sometimes
had a great habit of forgetting
what he remembered. so. Nurse
Jane had said:
"Ill write the list down on the
back of your white collar, 1t will
not show as you hop along and all
you will have to do will be to stand
with your back to the Monkey
Doodle gentleman in the store. He
will read the things l want and put
them up for you"
SO the bunny gentleman not
having anything to worry about eX-
cept his rheumatism, hoped along
over the fields and through the
woods. And he did not worry much
about his rheumatism. for he was
thinking so much about the COM
ing of Christmas.
"And what a lovely cake Nurse
Jane will bake" thought the bum
ny, at makes me hungry to think
of it,"
Uncle aWiggily hoped into the
grocery store kept by the Monkey
Doodle gentleman and said;

CHRISTMAS MUSIC.

Prominent among the Christmas obseryanees is
always the fine music. Many churches present the
work of highly paid singers and carefully drilled
chors often reaching high standards of musical
art as you would find in the best opera houses.
And back in the little country church. the unframed
singers put quite much fervor into simpler
melodies. and may touch the heart even more
tenderly.
There is something marvellous in the way the
old Christmas carols have survived. 1t seems
wonderful that half a dozen centuries ago, the
quaint old songsters of Christmas tide singing
these ancient melodies under the windows of the
medieval barons castle, and outside the matched
cottage of the humble peasant. And today the
young folks in their twentieth century styles, sing
the same old ballads.
Songs that thus survive the centuries must have
a singular force of musical feeling, and must bring
a message that comes close to the beating heart
of man.

BEING SICK.

There is 2 kinds of helth, good
and bad only people don't notice
1t till theirs begin to get bad and
then they start to remember how
good it was wen it wasent.
People get more plezzure out of
telling how bad they feel than wat
they do out of telling how good
they feel, on account of that being
the ony plezzure there is in it. If
you wunt to heer how good they
feel you half to ask them, but if
you wunt to heer how bad they
feel all you haff to do is jest lissen.
The ferst thing you do wen you get

forms of study and better preparation for work.
School study is largely done in the evenings
now. Students apt to work play at sports in
the afternoons then they dig into next day's les
at night.
Families with live boys find the long winter
evenings a problem. Some of the youngste RS are
much given to drifting to the curbstones of the
town center the favorite hang-outs, to swap
stories and jokes with the lounger crow d. Few
young men learn much that is useful in tina way.
The solution of the problem is plenty 'of active
life outlet for youthful vgor. The evening
lamp will not hold the young crowd as of yore, at
least after they get away from the responsible
tiles of next days school lessons But active
in basketball hall or bowling alley, when as
institutions for public benefit, may be
just as useful as the stories read or the games
played under the old time evening lamp.

THE UNEXPECTED GUEST.

In looking back over my long
life of housekeeping" says a dear
old lady of my acquaintance, "the
thing that helped me most was my
emergency shelf l wish all young
housekeepcrs realized how many.
many times a Well-stoCked shelf of
emergency supplies would help
them out of tight place! With
that shelf behind me as Il reserve
fund, | never worried if I missed
a street car when shopping, and
thus got home too late to get an
ordinary supper, or when my hus-
band brought home an unexpected
guest; for | could always open a
can Of something and fuss it up
so that it didn't look the least bit
ready made"
| begged my old friend to call
upon her memory for the dish,
concocted of emergency shelf sup
plies, which most frequently helped
her out.
Dreamed fish" she replied with
out a moments hesitation. IF one
has a can Of tuna fish on her shelf
one can easily make q plain cream
sauce out of a little flour, butter,
milk and seasoning and pour this
over the fish, then garnish with
slices of hard BOILED egg"
The follo'Sing delicious menu
was then Recommended by this old
housekeener:

late is made from a can of evap-
GRATED milk slightly diluted with
cold water, and couple of squares
of unsweetened chocolate shaved
and melted in frying pan before
being added to the hot evaporated

stltuted for the unsweetened choc-
ofate. The toasted cheese crackers
are made by taking the small,

them in the oven on q pan for Il
minute or two-until the cheese

The above given menu is not
heavy in character and may seem
to be one which would not crafty

of the creamed fish be served,
plenty Of the cocoa, and plenty Of
the delicious toasted cheese crack
ers, this little supper will be found
entirely satisfying. If desired, how
ever the housekeeper may serve
small, individual ramekins of baked
corn with the creamed fish; these
are made simply by turning canned
corn into as many small ramekins
as there are guests, and, after sea-
sOning to taste with salt and pep
per, slipping the small dishes into
a hot oven until they are we'll heat

A bottle of olives, a small dish
of sailed nuts, or a fancy plate
bearing after-dinner minis would
of course add the finishing touches
to the little meal. All these things
should be kept on the emergency
shelf.
