"Oh, yes, agreed Susie, clapping her

In the corner and sprinkle some talcum
powder perfume on it,

went on Susie.
Better and better" spoke Nurse
Jane Uncle Wiggily will be greatly
surprised when he gets that Valentine"
SO while the bunny rabbit, gentleman
was helping Samme, his nephew fasten
an umbrella sail on the wooden ice skip
per boat, Susie went over to the Wib-
bleWObble duck house with her sewing
things a piece of fine linen for the
handkerchief Valentine and some tai
cum powder perfume,
Now | am not going to tell you how
Susie sewed that handkerchief. In the
first place, don't know anything about
hastings, and hens, and cores, and
plaits, and buttonhole stitches, and cat
stitches and herring bone stitches, and
Telling, and overcasting, and turning the
bias around to make it look like a
facing. In the second place l have
something else to tell you.
Sufficient to say, as they remark in
story books; that, after, a while Susie
left the Wibhlewobbe duck house AMI
started for the burrow where Uncle
| WiggilY was staying with Nurse Jane.
| On one paw Susie carried her bag
of sewing things. her thimhle, her
thread, her needle, the hastings the
safety pins and the glue-you know
whatever you use in sewing In the
other paw Susie carried a little paste
| board box, at which she kept shifting
| every once in a twice.
| "Oh, | hope he likes it," she said
over and over,
| who likes What?' suddenly asked
/ a gruff and crowley first -of-the-
month -landlordly sort of voice
! Il hope Uncle Wiggily likes his VAL
entine." said Susie, before she thought.
/ and, turning around, there stood the
bad old Bazoop,,
is that Uncle Wiggly's Valentine
you have in the box?' asked the grulf
and grumbly Bazoop,
"Ye-ye-yes" stammered Susie.
Does it say: The ink is black, the
| bottle too. and | will bite some souse
off YOU? asked the Bazoop.
| "Oh, no, 1t isn't that kind Of a VAL
entne" spoke Susie eagerly, IT'S an
embroidered handkerchief, all per
| fumcd. Please let me take it to Uncle
| Wiggily"
| "Ha' Let me smell the perfume first"
gurgled the Bazoop, and if like it I
may take it myself I have had no
| Valentines today
