UNCLE WIGGILY
The Story of Susie's Looking Glass

UNCLE WIGGILY AND SUSIE'S
LOOKING GLASS

Uncle Wiggily, did you see my
new purse?" asked Susie Ldttletail.
the rabbit girl one morning, as she
danced on her tippy tiptoes over 10
the hollow stump where the bunny
rabbit gentleman lived.
why no. Susie. 1 didn't see your
purse" Uncle Wiggily answered.

though" he added with a funny lit
tie twinkle OF his left hind leg.
Here it Isl" laughed Susie. and
she handed Mr.. Longears a new
purse her father had just bought for
her at the ten and eleven cent sore.
why, there isn't anything in it,"
exclaimed Uncle wiggily in surprise
as he opened Susie's purse. Not so
much as a penny!"
Il know there isn't!' Susie said,
sort of looking down, bashful like, at
her toes. Il haven't any money yet,
but 1 thought maybe-that is you
know-of course mother said I
wasn't to ASK anybody for pennies
but 1 can't help it if you put some
in my new purse, can 1, Uncle Wig
gily?" And this time Susie looked
boldly and bravely at her bunny
uncle.
"Of course mott" said Mr. Long
ears, with a queer smile just under
his pink nose. you can't help your
self, Susie. There. I've put some
pennies IN your new purse and-but.
hello! What's this?" he suddenly
asked, as he saw something shiny in
the little beaded bag Susie had hand
ed him. This looks like a shiny
new dollar!"
It's only my looking glass;" Su-
sic answered. easy like.
Looking glass;" cried Uncle Wig
gily. "Who ever heard Of a mirror
in a purse?"
"Oh, all the girls have them" Su-
sic said. It's quite stylish"
well, it may be stylish" said the
J bunny gentleman. a bit serious. But
fit isn't good for girls, or anybody
else, to be looking in the glass all
the while. 1 hope you don't do it,
Susie"
"Oh. no'rn-I mean no, sirl" said
the little rabbit girl quickly. Il
only look at my pocket glass once
in a while TO see if my nose is get
ting nice. and pink-like yours!"
After that what could Uncle Wig
gily do but take Susie to the ice
cream six and seven cent store TO
buy her some lollypops? Of course
that was all he could do and he
did 1t.
But I hope you don't look in the
glass too often, Susie" said the bun
ny gentleman.

inquisitive, before 1 fathomed the
purpose of her question. She knew
that if she could get Mrs Durkee's
mind switched to her household re-
gime our little hostess would forget
her grievances in the delight of ex-
hibiting her new arrangements to
us.
Come upstairs and I'll show

You won't know the rooms. I'VE

stairs that Leila would be an unusual
bride if she did not wish to have
some arrangement of her own

much of her life would be spent
But 1 saw when little Mrs Durkee
threw open the doors Of the rooms
she had set apart for them that she
had arranged every last detail, even
to the shades covering the electric
torches which simulated candles in
the wall scOnces.
Wasn't it lucky that we never
furnished this room adjoining

we had finished exclaiming over the
beauty and daintness of the ap-
pointments of the room intended for
the bride. Her Flufiness is a house
keeper par excellence. and she had
evidently put her whole heart into
the furnishing and arrangement of
the rooms. You see" she went on,
