MATCHBOX COTTAGE.
Ask mother to let you have a new matchbox so that you can turn it into a cottage for her. It will look far prettier than It did before! Cut out a piece of white paper four inches and a half long and two inches and a quarter wide and fold it in two so that you now have a square with two inches and a quar- < ter sides. Gum the two big" sides of the cover very carefully and stick the piece of folded paper on them so that one striking side is uncovered completely and the other has a "roof" over it made by the folded part of the paper. When this is perfectly dry you can draw in windows, doors, roses, bricks, water butt—in fact everything that will make the matchbox into a cottage. Then paint it. The result will be perfectly charming. Just try it and see!
