Then act your age and waddle
along advised Lulu
For once in his life Jimmie could
think of nothing to say. So he
waddled away and went in SWIM
ming with Toodle and Noodle Flat
Tail, the beaver boys who spent
most Of their time in the water.
Meanwhile Lulu and Alice got
ready for the party, to which they
had invited all their girl friends.
No boy animals were invited, which
is the reason why Jimmie couldn't
go.
1T isn't as if we were having girls
and boys" said Lulu as she put
some flowers on a corner Of the
table. IF we had other boys I'd
be glad to invite our Jimmie"
oh, Of course, my dear!" agreed
Alice, as she looked on the back
porch to see if the ice cream had
yet arrived. But it hadn't.
Now while this was going on at
the duck pen, in Uncle Wiggily's
hollow stump bungalow there was
quite a different scene. Jingle, jan
gle, Tingle, Tangle and all the 9TH

to go to the party of Lulu and Alice,
the ducks. Baby Bunty, the little
orphan rabbit child, was also getting
dressed. But as Nurse Jane was ty-

bon grass around Baby Bunty's
waist, the little orphan was crying:
What's the matter?" asked IN
Gle Wiggily, who was getting ready
to hop away and look for an ad-
venture. why are you weeping,
Bunty?"
"Be-be-cause l haven't any per-

out for being fol, he was not as big a
fool as he might have been. He was able

Not all of us, of course, are able to do

those things; and as we grow older we
come to understand it better. Any sim
