What shall we do now? Five hundred games and pastimes: . they are covered.(See above.) Foot-StoolsSeveral small pieces of cork may be covered to makefoot-stools. Standard Lamp A serviceable standard lamp can be made by taking a small empty cotton spool, gilding or painting it, and fixing the wooden part of a thin penholder firmly into it. On the top of it glue a round piece of cork, on which a lamp-shade, I DOLLS HOUSES 231 made of one of the little red paper caps that chemists put onbottles, can be placed. Bedroom Furniture — MaterialsYou will need — Two large wooden corks of different sizes. Some pieces of chintz, of cotton material, flannel, linen, oil-cloth, and alittle cottou-wool. An empty walnut shell. Several wooden matches with the heads taken off. Pins of different sizes. Wool, silk or tinsel, for the backs of the chairs. A tube of glue. BedsTo make a bed, take the inside of a match-box and cutaway the bottom of it. Then take two matches and gluethem to the two corners at the head of the bed so that a Match-Box Bedstead tion sticks out below the bed for legs and above the bed for arailing. Cut two more matches to the same length as theseothers, less the part of them that serves for legs, and fasten 232 WHAT SHALL WE DO NOW ^ these at equal distances from each other and from the twoothers already glued in position. Mong the top of theseplace another match for a rail, and the head of the bed isdone. For the foot of the bed repeat these operations ex-actly, except that all the upright matches must be a littleshorter. Then cut off one end of the bottom of the box andfit it in to form the part of the bed that takes the bedstead, when made, should be like the one in the ac-companying picture. A little mattress must now be made tofit the bed exactly; it can be stuffed with cotton-wool orbran. A pillow, blankets, sheets, and a fancy coverlet mayalso be made, and a very thin and tiny frill should be putright round the bed
