HOW TO MAKE A GOOD GAME. Here is a game that you can make quite easily and one with which you can have plenty of fun. Oct an empty cardboard box—it must not be a very deep one and must have a lid. Take off the lid, turn it upside down and glue the two portions of the box together, as shown on the loft-hand side of the diagram. Then make a hole in the front for the shooter to pass through. This shooter can easily be made by bending a piece of cardboard into a cylinder and glueing the edges together.

Then cut a row of holes on the opposite side of the box—these are for the matches that you shoot to pass through. Each hole must be numbered, for that is how you score. Xext glue another lid of a box to the end of the game, marking off a section across the centre as shown. Should the matches you shoot hind in this strip, you double your score. Your game is now complete, so try your hand at this match shooter, remembering that the highest score wins.

HOW TO MAKE A DOLL'S DRESSER. Some empty match boxes, two pnper fasteners, a little fancy paper and glue are all that is required for this fine doll's dresser. Take the trays, out of two boxes and glue the covers together, as at "A" in the diagram. Now take two more covers and glue them in position as the uprights, as shown at "B." The trays of the iirst two match boxes are .used for the drawers, but before you put them in place you must fix on the handles, an shown in the circle. The handles are actually two paper fasteners pushed through the ends of the trays,

head outwards and the prongs bent back flat on the inside, as indicated by the dotted lines. The trays from the boxes you ireed ae uprights should be glued, one on top of the other, to the back of the flat part, as you sec in the diagram at "C." The dresser is now complete with the exception of a neat little frill of shaped paper on the top—you should glue this in place to prevent it falling off. Now, to make your dresser look nice, paint it a pretty colour and your model is finished ready to take its place in vour doll's hoiuse,.
