Anyhow, after while, Blinkcr
would come out with her hair ribbon
as straight and prim as a stOvcpipc.
But it really WASH t much fun for
Uncle Wiggilv to hep along with her
and try TO amusc her. For, every now
and then Blinkcr would stop and
say:
"Oh, IN sure my hair ribbon has
quink in it. Oh, dear

Blinkcr would hop along for a little
way and then she would stop and
say:

Longcars would say. Come on. =
And so it went until all the other
bunny boys and girls began to laugh
at Blinkcr, and her brother Tinker
said she was a .'fussv bunny, and
so she got the namc.
Well, it happened one day that
Uncle Wiggily was going to take all
his own rabbit boys and girls, as
well as Blinkcr and Tinker, on a
picnic 10 the woods. II was still cold
but the rabbits had warm furcoats

he gave a yowi, the bad chap did

ing of Kessler Blvd. on Fifty-Ninth

amended to the park board today by
special committee chosen to i'm
vestigate the route.
The city is not bound by any le-
gal contract to continue the Fifty

trary would be violating the law by
routing the thorougnfare on Fifty

as that district is outside the city
limits, the committees report pointed
out. This, part extends 5.120 feet.
