"Not a bit," said Billie. "We're just getting ready for Hallowe'en to-morrow night, and those were our false faces, you know, and I wish you'd all stay with us and have some fun."
"We will," said Uncle Wiggily. "I'll put my auto in the barn, and we'll stay."
So they did, and in case the little wooden dog with the pink-blue nose doesn't bite the tail of the woolly cat, I'll tell you next about Uncle Wiggily having Hallowe'en fun.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S HALLOWE'EN FUN
"Oh, dear, I wish it were night," said Susie Littletail.
"So do I!" exclaimed Sammie, her brother. "Then it would be Hallowe'en."
"And both of us wish the same thing," said Johnnie Bushytail, as he and his brother Billie went skipping about the room of their house.
"Oh, don't wish so hard or night might come before I'm ready for it," said Uncle Wiggily Longears, the old gentleman rabbit. "I've got to decorate my auto yet and get my false face, you know."
"What kind are you going to have?" asked Susie.
"Oh, I think I'll dress up like an elephant," said Uncle Wiggily.
