dy with funny little laugh. Not
that | wouldn It wash the dishes II my
mother had headache, but she hasn t.
Pm glad to say. What I'm doing IS

gilv in surprise. 81 didn' t know you

s'That will be fine!' exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily.
81 hope the biscuits will turn out the
same way!" laughed Buddy, as he look
ed at a bowl in which he was mixing
some flour and water. 81 was just
going to put them in the oven when
you came in" he said.
"What Are the biscuits made so
soon9' asked the bunny.
"Well, all did was to put a little
flour in a bowl and pour on some
water,' explained Buddy. "That g
the way mother does, for I've watched
her. After she mixes up the flour
and water she makes little dabs, or
round balls of dough, puts them in 4
pan, puts the pan in the hot oven and
pretty soon out come brown biscuits. -
"Hm!" murmured Uncle Wiggily,
"It sounds all right, but it seems to
me there ought to be something more
in biscuits than just flour and water. +"
"Oh, / don't guess so," spoke BuG-
dy, cheerful like and confident, rs he
put the pan, filled with little Jumps
of dough, into the oven.

closed the oven door.
Uncle Wiggily. "Well, as long as you
are here alone, III stay and see how
your biscuits bake.'
"They ought to be done pretty soon
now,' went on Buddy. 81 can smell
them cooking and truly most de
lightful odor filled the kitchen. Uncle
Wiggiy shifted with his pink nose.
81 think they are baked now,''
spoke Buddy, after a while He opened
the oven door, and he and Uncle Wig
gily looked within. On the pan were a
number of brown Jumps.
"They re baked!" cried Uncle Wig
gilv. "I've seen Nurse Jane make
biscuits, and whom her $. got that color
she takes them out, But, if you will
excuse me of speaking of it, Buddy, |
think that there ought to have been
something else in them besides flour
and water. Oughtn't t there have been
some yeast?''
"You re thinking of bread,'.' said
Buddy.
"That s right! So l ami" laughed
the bunny gentleman. ''Well, anyhow,
your biscuits look good and they smell
fine!'
"I'll let you see how they taste as
soon as they cool bit, promised
Buddy taking the pan out of the oven
using a cloth holder SO he wouldn 7
