SOMETHING TO MAKE
The top you see in' the picture is a good spinner, and so easy to make that every boy or girl could have one. First
yon need a large cotton-reel, which you must cut in halves right across the centre. When this is done place the two pieces together back to back, so that they form the shape of a top. Any roughness may be trimmed away with a pocket-knife. The spindle is just a piece of meat skewer or other sharpened wood, pushed tightly down the hole in the reel. If you want a better top you can hammer in the broken end of a knitting-needle for a peg on which the top will spin. . " ;
