Beds for the hotel chambers may be made of small oblong boxes and their covers. To make the upper part of the bed, cut off the long rims on each side of the cover. This leaves headboard and footboard to be glued to the lower half of the box when this has been turned over to rest upon its rims. At each corner of the lower half of the box, cut a leg for the bed to stand upon. Remove the cardboard from between each. (To cut bed, see Diagram Six, _AA_, page 175.) Little dolls touring through Hat-box County stop at the hotel overnight. Drummer dolls, on their business trips to Boxville General Store, find comfortable accommodations at Bandbox Hotel too. As soon as the toy train stops at Boxville Station, you may see them making a bee-line for the hotel. There are splendid accommodations at Hotel Bandbox. The meals are always good. You only need to pretend what the dolls want and then give it to them. Some want their steak well done and are _very_ particular about it, but the waiter _always_ does right and everybody is _always_ satisfied. After dinner the guests take a walk over to Mirror Lake and watch the man who is fishing on the bridge there. Or else, perhaps, they sit on the hotel piazza and watch the people come to the Village square to get water at the town pump. Hurry, hurry with the scissors! Bring the glue-pot or some paste: We must make a Hotel Bandbox, The proprietor’s in haste! Touring through the Boxland Country, Penny dolls may wish to stay In this splendid Hotel Bandbox That we’re building here to-day! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ THE SHOE-BOX APARTMENT HOUSE =Material Required to Make a Shoe-box Apartment House=: one shoe-box with the whole of its cover, one small box about two inches long, and small boxes and spools for furnishing the apartment house. You may make a whole row of apartment houses. They are shoe-boxes that are placed to stand on end. Windows are drawn upon the fronts of the boxes as they stand. Each apartment house must have a porch and front door as well. Would you like to erect an apartment house? Find a shoe-box, then. Take its cover off. Stand your box on end with the opening at back. Let the bottom of the box face you. Mark off upon it three window spaces, each With its base five inches from the top of your box. See that end windows are equally distant from the sides of your box. Make each window two inches high and one inch wide.
