some thick cardboard and fasten them to the match boxes by means of pap r fasteners, as shown in our diagram at A. To make the -carriages," fasten tne trays to the match box covers by inserting them In the ends, as shown at J»Then cut out some pieces of cork, of tne shape shown in the diagram at C, ana glue them in place.
