_BB._ Triangular cardboard pieces cut to fit the ends of a box and hold
a gable roof.

[Illustration: A SINGLE GABLE ROOF. BOX CUT DOWN TO HOLD GABLE ROOF]
=Diagram Three.= Gable roof. This is a piece of cardboard cut oblong and
folded through its center, lengthwise, to make a slanting roof. A deep
box may be cut down to hold this roof and make a gabled building. Cut
where heavy black lines indicate.

CARDBOARD TENTS FOR CAMP]
=Diagram Three.= Roofs.
_D._ Round-pointed roof cut from cardboard. Lap edges _x_ to _x_. This
makes a tent also. The Indian Wigwam is made this way.
_E._ This is a wide box cover folded through its center, rim cut up to
the top on each long side. Bent, it makes a tent or tent-shaped roof.
This is like the kennel roof.

=Diagram Three.= Cut Where the heavy black lines indicate.
_F._ Ramparts are cut from the rim of a box cover.
_G._ A porch roof may be made by taking the cover of any shallow box and
pasting it over the doorway of your building. The porch pillars are long
pencils run through holes cut in each forward corner of the box cover.

[Illustration: BRIDGE AND R.R. TUNNEL]
=Diagram Four.= By cutting the ends or sides of boxes, tunnels or
bridges may be made. Cut where the heavy black line indicates.
_A._ The bridge is made by cutting a semicircle from the long sides of
an inverted box. The box cover, turned upward, forms the bridge railing.
At each end, cut the corners. A cardboard strip is pasted to each end
rim to complete the bridge roadway.
_B._ The tunnel is made by cutting a circular opening in the two ends of
a deep box which has been inverted.
