"Oh, Uncle Wlgglly' You're get-1 ; ting me all wet!" and there stood .Mrs , Wibolewobbie. the duck lady. "Phi 1 beg vour pardon:" exclaimed the bunny uncle "I hope I haven't 'spoiled your dress1" I "Oh, no:" said Airs. Wibblewobble. : ;wlth a quacking laugh. "I don't mind I water you know, being a duck." "Thut's good: " said the rabbit uncle 'as he gave ono of Nurse Jane's ferns Is drink of water from the hose. "But i was it you who spoke of coming to say good-bye, because you are going' , lo leave. Mrs Wibblewobble " "oh. no," answered the duck mother of Lulu, Alice and Jinnnio Wlbble-j (wobble. I am not going away. 1 am' Just going to the seven and three cent Bton to get some corn meal for lunch."! "I wonder who spoke?" said Uncle Wlgglly "1 did," answered a jolly, happy voice, and down out of the hedge flew Bbbble Cheer Up, the robin boy, with the red leathers on his chest, almost! I as gay as Uncle Wlggily's red vest. "1! came to tell you good-bye. Uncle Wlg gily," went on Bobbie, "as I am soon1 going to fly down south with the BWal- llows and bluebirds. Some of them. j have already gone, and we robins will follow soon. Hut I came to see if you1 would do me a favor." 'Of course! What is It?" asked the bunny uncle. i "I want a bath." went on Bobbie ! "We lards ru ed to bathe often, to keep; lean and sanitary like, and it's time for m bath n I . as it hasn't rained lately, and the duck pond ocean is al- i most dried up, I flew down here when jl saw you watering with the hose." j I "Of course 11 give u a bath. Bob-j j bio," spoke the kind rabbit gentleman.! "Just sit where you are and I'll spray, i you with the hose." 'oh. If It 8 all the same to you." said Bobble, I'd like you to make a little' puddle of water on the ground. I tan get a bath better in that." "You shall have your wish, Bobbie,"' said Unci.- Wlgglly. 'I ll dig a little hollow hole in the ground, and fill it with water from the hose. Then you! may splash in It as much as you please. And later on, if Oickte and Nellie rhlp Chip, the sparrows, want a bath, they can flitter themselves In the same - place. I will fill it with fresh water for them. ' So Uncle Wlgglly, with his front paws Just made for digging, scooped out a hole, like a bathtub, in the 'ground near tin hedge Then with Ithe squleter hose. Mr Longears filled the hole with water Now your bath Is ready, Bobbie:"! I called the bunny Down flew Bobbie Cheer-Up from ! the hedge. Into the. queer little bath-1 tub he stepped and then he began to shower himself with water He spread I j out his wings and flapped them, send-' lng the water in a shower over hiSI back Then he spread out his tail, like a fan and flapped lhat. More water splushed all over the robin boy. and j:ome even spattered on Uncle Wlgglly ' "Look out. theroU' laughed the bun-' ny gentleman. Jumping back. "I'm getting wetter from you bath. Bob-j hit tbsin T rliil frnrn Wijfrrlnrr ltli in hose" But Bobby did not mean lo splatter Uncle Wiggily, no it was all right The bunny kept farther away and the robin boy sang bis cheer-up song anil had a grand time in his bathtub on the ground. Attcr he had finished sprinkling with the hose Uncle Wlgglly lunvd off the water and sat down on the grass, in a dry place near the hedge, to rest. Before he knew it. Uncle Wigglly was fast, fast asleep, ills eyes closed, his tall silk hat fell off and his pink dosm stopped twinkling. And just then, along came sneaking the bad old Bqueedunkum. He hail gotten his Juws open, after eating the chewing candy, as I told you last night, and now he w;is hungry for souse. And I'll get a lot off Uncle ig gily's ears, too, I guess." said the Bqueedunkum to himself as he sneaked along by the hedge. "Uncle Wlgglly in :i. leep now, and he Isn't Squirting with the hose. I'd have been afraid to come near him when he was squirt ing with the hose, as water mikes me sneeze mj head almost off But as long as there Isn't an water I'm not afraid." The Squeedunkum sneaked nearer, and he was just going to bite Uncle Wlggily's souse where Bobbie Cheer Up, the rbbbln boy, who was drying himself after Ills bath, saw the bad chap. "Uh. ho! No you don't'" cried Bob ble. "You don't get Unci Wlggily's souse this time' I'll splash water on you myself!" With that Bobbie flew down In his bathtub again, and flitter ing and fluttering his wings and tail, he splashed so much water on the Bqueedunkum that the bad chap sneezr ed : Ker choo! Ker choo! A-ker-choo-choo-zu!" and his head almost sneez ed off. And for fear It would all come off, away ran the Bqueedunkum, not getting any of the bunny's souse f coins., the Water that Bobbie splashed got on Uncle Wlgglly. and awakened him. but he didn't mind thai and he was very thankful to the robin boy for helping. So everything came out all right, you see.

It Is not denied that the favorite in--door and outdoor sport of the great majority of the human race is giving1 and seeking advice. Particularly giv ing, for It is far more blessed to give ad vie than to receive it. hv wo should be so eager to tell our fellow creatures Just exactly how tin y should act under certain clrcum-l stances. Is one of th mysteries of Canity that nobody Can explain. Cer tainly very few of us think that we have run ur own affairs so success fully, and have exhibited always such unerring Judgment, that we have qualified to pose as oracles. Nevertheless, we do not hesitate to lay down the law to thoso about us. e have never been able to make more than the barest Hi nig ourselves, but we feel perfectly competent to al Ise anybody about how to Invest money. We know nothing whatever about medlcln of th vagaries of the human -.'stem, vet we advise people to take drugs, (if 1, i 1 r- . i . r ' n , an to tallv ignorant, for ailments that we hav not the ability to diagnose. Men and women who have never had anything but an alrdale pup, or a I canary bird tell you exactly how to raise your children, and if you try to Iinak a garden, or build a house, you in - imped under the counsel of those who never planted a seed, or I wrestled with a contractor and do not claim that they know anything about, j either subject except that they know j more about It than you know The perfect strangers whose sub-1 lime egotism makes them feel that' they can run out affairs "much beiterj than wo can manage Ihem ourselves and who do not hesitate to tell us where we should got on and off, are hard enough to endure Heaven knovvi that the real pest of the world Is the family adviser In every household you will find, some man or woman -who has elected, himself, or herself, to the office of adviser extraordinary, and who runs' everybody else crazy with a never-ond-j j Ing flow of suggestions. The man may! be i good-for-nothing parasite whose . , i.;Mf...i !-. .. -. ....r.rt II... K.,f V.r. Tore they can make a single move In any direction they have to listen to his endless, "If I were you I would do this," or I stronglj advise you against dning that," and if anything ever goes wrong he Is an incarnate reproach with his, "If you had only taken my advice in tho matter." 'r perhaps the famil) adviser is a woman, in which case the female of the species is deadlier than the male, because sho Is always on the job She knows better than the doctor what you should take when you get sick. She knows more than tho lawyer about how to settle an estate. She can pick out the exact man and 'VOman for ev ery girl and boy to marry She knows just what dressmaker you should pat troni.e what you should wear and how you should furnish your house, and What you should have to eat, and WO i matter how hurried or worried or busy vou ire, you hav got to stop and J combat her endless dvtce. It's the family adviser who wrecks I homes, and makes the mombera fly to if the uttermost parts of the earth to try ! to get away from one who feels that I he or she has a right to run their lives I for them, and whose feelings are hurt I If his or her counsel Is not taken. I It is easy to see why people dote oh I giving advic. It Is bccau30 they Ukelo exploit themselves. It is th ultimate j i expression of self-conceit. Why people jl lask advice Is as comprehensible as the riddle of the Sphynx, for they are bound to know that the advice Is : Nobody can tell another person what I ! to- do, because no other person knowa j) all tho circumstances of the case Thre are a thousand little Intimate j details of tho problem that the seeker jaftor light never reveals to anyone and I these are the crux of the whole matter I sc that even a Solomon could not solvo ith rldd dl ethatlstaol9lwo de-taxzV ithe riddle that Is propounded to him. j Also there Is the human equation that must bo taken Into consideration, 'so the advice that seems to fit your j l ' doesn't fit It at all when you try ilt. It may look a perfect thirty-eight in the advice shon. but when vou fret if It home, you find that something Is f wrong with your measurements and that it bags where It shouldn't bag and I It Is too tight across the breast, and I that it hikes up In the front and falls down In the back. "Never go into the grocery' business ' advises the man who has failed In it; but you may have the verv qualities that he lacked that will enable you to H make a fortune In It. "You will starvo r If you try to make a living writing" advices some poor, uninspired hack; t but you may have the divine flrt that I will light your way to fame and for- tune. "Don't marry' so-and so, you t will never be able to live with him, and I you will be poor to th end of your " days," counsels a mother; yet that i"i' ui-jl) mj uur uiiujjiivvi s tiuui iun i and th very man who i3 destlndd to become a millionaire. ! Of course the redeeming feature about giving advice is that few people take It, and most people who ask for id . Ice merely desire to confirm them t in llu- course they may have already f do. rmined upon pursuing. They simp- 1 lj want to be backed. Also the process :of being advised helps them to clarify r their own 'idea, and really decide up- tH on what they want to do quite inde- H pendent of your opinion. I Put all the same, the advising busi- tH I ness wastes a lot of time, and is a H I great bore.
