When mother lets us make paper box furniture

DINING TABLE.

Reading edition

Use a deep box and the cover of another larger box. The cover must be about the same shape, but enough larger to project over the box like the top of a table.

A correspondence card box may be used. Quite deep and strong boxes for this purpose may be got from a drug store or dry goods store.

1. Place the box bottom up.

2. Place the cover on top and put fasteners through it into the box. A piece of cardboard may be used, if you haven’t a cover of the right size.

3. Cut the legs as shown in the picture.

4. Paint to match the other furniture.

THE FAMILY AT DINNER.

Put this arm chair at the head of the table, And into it put father doll; Before him place the platter for meat, And play that he serves them all. At the opposite end, where the tea set stands, Of course mother doll should be, And on either side of the table, Their little children you’ll see.
