Little Girl Catches Uncle Wiggay in Good One on Hats;
What He Thought Went Into Headgear, Makes BASKETS
So Many Pretty Costumes
Sent In During Past Week
: 1t Was Hard to Make
Choice.

Uncle wiggily almost made up his
mind he was going to stop wearing
Kaudy colors and stick to plain
black or brown, or maybe a nice
delicate gray this week. After he
had looked over the several hundred
costumes his little friends had pick
ed out for him and sent to him by
Mr.. Mail Man, he felt just like lit
tie girl locked up in a candy store.
He didn't know what to take first.
Finally, however, he picked three
Sunday best suits and six other.
for everyday wear. There were
lots Of others so pretty they made
his mouth water, but he couldn't
take them all, because, ypu see. he
can only wear them one week. Then
he has to get a. new set.
One ON Ulcie wfssily.
A great pile of letters came to Un-
Gle Wiggily along with the pictures.
One of them was from Eleanor Boor-
man, who lives at 2407 First street
northwest. and who, you'll remem-
Der, won first prize a couple Of
weeks ago. She said-but read it
yourself:
Dear Uncle wiggily: Oh. Uncle
wiggily, you made a big mistake in
The Sunday Herald when you said
made rafia hats and would make
one to wear this fall. Anyone would
know you are a man. Uncle Wiggly,
because all girls would know we
wear velvet tams in. the fall, and not
raffa hats. I said in my letter to
you that mother had taught me to
make BASKETS OF raffia, and my
last one sold for IS, and l would buy
my fall hat with the SIS. I used my
prize money to buy raffia to make
another basket to sell at Christmas"
with love, your friend,
ELEANOR BoORMAN"
That's a good one on Uncle Wig
gily. all right. thinking girls hats
were made out OF raffa. But. then,
not SO long ago girls up in New
York were wearing hats made out
Of plain. everyday shavings, and IL
really wouldn't surprise Uncle Wig
Eily q bit to hear of girls making
hats out OF macaroni, or something
Just so they don't try to make
them out Of his souse!
