"On the porch,' answered Nurse

Nurse Jane said, over the back fence
to Mrs. Twistytail, the pig lady: e<s
"The chair is all right. 1t just needs
coat of paint. But I've asked Uncle
Wiggily, until I am tired, to paint it..
He always has some excuse, such as
being too busy. Now I III fix him!'
How will you fix Uncle Wiggily
about the old chair9" grunted the pig
lady.
"Why," whispered Nurse Jane. He
always gets fused and excited when.
ever I speak of giving something to
the junk monkey. No matter how old
a thing is, Uncle Wiggily hates to give
it away. He always says there is some
good in it.
"Well, the chair is good one. All

Uncle Wiggily took off his pink nose

took off his fancy coat and vest and
put on his overalls so he could paint,
and little later he was mixing colors
on his front stoop, and getting ready
to decorate the old chair with rings,
streaks and polka dots.
"I'n make this chair sky blue pink
all right!' he laughed to himself as
he daubed on some yellow streaks,
mixed with brown, and some pots of
green. Then he painted some stripes
of red and few dabs of purple.
BY this time the chair was pretty
well painted. Uncle Wiggily went in
the hollow stump bungalow to get a
sign reading:
