Wiggily Longeare, the bunny gentleman, as he saw the little pusey girl com
ing up the path toward his hollow stump bungalow. ' “If you please I am
going shopping to buy a new hat," answered Kittie. "May I com, with you?”
asked the rabbit gentleman. "Oh, I’d love to have you!” meaouwed Kittie.
"Ah, ha! So they’re going shopping!” growled the wolf, who had a bad eye.
”TII go, too!"
“How do you like this. Uncle Wiggily?” asked Kittie. "I think it is most
effacatious and becoming like,” spoke the mouse lady. “So do I,” said Un
do Wiggily. “I’d buy that if I were you.” The pussy cat girl said she
would, and then she went on: “Why don’t you get yourself a new hat. Uncle
Wiggily? I’d like to see you in something besides your tall, silk one." The
bunny rabbit gentleman hemmed and hawed. "Perhaps I may get a new hat,”

And if the electric fan doesn’t blow all the frosting off the chocolate cake, so the gold-fish has to eat peanut-butter on his bread and milk, the next pictures and story will be
about UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE FIRECRACKERS.
“They have very nice nets for girls her e at this five and ten cent store;
don't you think so, Uncle Wiggily?” asked Kittie Kat, as th e mouse lady put
on a bonset all decorated with flowers and lettuce and carrot trimmings.
“Well, I suppose that is a Stylish hat,” said Uncle Wiggily; “sort of asparagus
like. But I think you had better try on another. I might get hungry and eat
all the vegetables off the top.” Kittie laughed and said she wouldn’t like
that. “Let me see another hat, please,” she asked tho mouse lady.
“How do you lik, this derby hat on me?” asked Uncle Wiggily, as he
stood before the glass. “I don't like it at all,” said Kittie Kat. “It is not at
all becoming to you, sir,” spoke the mouse lady. “Why not try something
military?" she asked. “Eh? What’s that? Military?” exclaimed Uncle Wig
gily. “Yes, a soldier hat!” want on the mouse lady. “Ha! I will!” exclaim
ed the rabbit gentleman. "I'll get a soldier hat!” The old wolf was laughing
so hard that he did not hear this.
“Oh, Uncla Wiggily! What ara you going to do?” moaouwad Kiltio Kat,
aa aha mw th # rabbit gantlaman opening tha box in which waa hie naw sol
diar hat. “I’ll show you, and I'll ahow th, bad wolf,, too!” apoka tha rab
bit gantlaman. “It’a • good thing we got far enough ahead of him to hide
behind thie atone wall. Now whan ha cornea along! Oh, ho! I’ll fool him!”
And the bad wolf ran after the bunny and the puaay girl, and ha howled:
"Hera'a where I get aoma rabbit souse!"
He Goes Shopping with Kittie Kat, and
when the Wolf Chases Them What Did
Uncle Wiggiiy Do? Just Look and See!
"How do you like this hat, Uncle Wiggily?" asked Kittie. “Don’t you think
it is quite scrumptuous? ’ The rabbit gentleman, without turning around from
where he was looking at some soldier hats, said: “Kittie, I don’t like those
onions on your hat! They remind me too much of soup! Try on another.”
The bad wolf, looking in the window, said to himself: “Speaking of soup I’ll
soon have some of Uncle Wiggily’s souse! Burr-r-r-r-r!”
"How do you like this?” asked Uncle Wiggily, as lie tried on one of the
five and ten cent store soldier hats, with a long, sharp brass spike in the top,
and also a lovely red, fuzsy plume. “Will this be all right for me?” Kittie
Kat and the mouse lady just stood and looked at th* rabbit gentleman. "Oh,
it’s too sweet for anything!" said Kittie. “Very smart and ctylish,” spoke
tho mouse lady. The bad old wolf was hopping around on one leg back of
the store, waiting for Uncle Wiggily to come out.
"Oh, bo! So you thought you’d gat my aouaa, did you!" cried brave
Uncla Wiggily to th a wolf. “Wall, now you juet run back through tlia wooda
to the dan where you belong!" Th, wolf waa ao aurpriaed at aaoing Unola
Wiggily in a soldier hat, and at feeling Kittie Kat tickle him in the riba
with a short stick that the wolf jumped backward and aried: "Oh, axeusa
me, General LongearSl I didn't know you ware a soldier! Oh, |’l| be good!"
And away ha ran and the Squiggl a Bugs laughed and laughed.
