[Illustration: Boxcraft Automobile made without hood.] A narrow box rim is glued between the wheel-guards to make the running-board. Two metal buttons are fastened to the front of the automobile to form the lamps. A toothpick is pressed into the front of the box to make the rod of the wheel for steering. The wheel itself is a round cardboard key-tag fitted upon the other end of the toothpick. The front seat of the automobile is the end corner of some small box that is fitted crosswise into the body of the car and glued in place. The rear seat is an end of a small box fitted in the same manner into the body of the car behind. Boxcraft automobiles are the best there are. They do not cost you a single penny! Repairs are always very easy to make, too. If you care to add a hood to the automobile, it may be made from the cover of your large box. Cut the front rim of the box cover down, and slant the long sides of the cover down to the uncut end. Paste an upright piece of cardboard about four inches high behind your rear seat. To its top, glue the higher end of the box cover. Two small strips of cardboard may be fitted under the hood above the front seat to hold the hood up in front. I painted the automobile that you see in the picture with India ink. You could scarcely tell that it was made out of a box when it was finished. Three cardboard boxes—little else— Have made a car for me: It is a boxcraft model, And it’s jolly as can be! The little Boxville people Can go touring in this car; They have splendid picnic parties Where the groves of clothes-pins are! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HOW TO FURNISH A DOLL-HOUSE =Material Required to Make Furniture for a Doll-house=: cardboard boxes of all kinds, especially flat letter-paper boxes, jeweler’s boxes, correspondence-card boxes. Pencils and spools may be of help in making some of the furniture. When you look at the pictures of my boxcraft doll-house, you will see how well it was furnished. All the chairs and tables, and the bed—all the things that are in the pictures—are cut from cardboard boxes. You have just such boxes as I used, I am sure. Every home has them. Shall I tell you how the furniture is made? First, I will tell you how I made the bedroom, shall I? The old-fashioned canopy bedstead is made from a candy box and its cover. The four posts are long pencils. One pencil is run through each corner of the lower half of the box and glued tight. Then the cover is placed upon the upper ends of the pencils to make a canopy. Lace-paper is pasted around the rims of the cover. I made tissue-paper sheets and a lace-paper pillow. You can do that, too.
