Here is a way to raaike something useful for your doll's house out of matchboxes. To make a wardrobe, the lower part is made with half a box stand- ® ing on four small beads. Now the ' cupboard is made by removing the top of a matchbox case and then fixing it back again with paper hinges. This makes the door of your wardrobe. Tlie tray in the lower part makes a useful little draw for dolly's frocks. Now here is a little trick that you can do while, you are having a pic-
Nic on the beach. All you will need for it is a bucket of water, a tumbler, and a small handkerchief. Tell your chums that you will put the hanky in the glass and put it right under the water without wetting the handkerchief. This sounds quite impossible, but if you tuck the handkerchief tightly into the bottom of the glass, then turn it. upside down and press: it into the water,, mouth downwards, you will find that you can force the tumbler right under the water and still the. hanky remains dry because the air in the tumbler will not allow the water to rise as far as the top.
