. Over these lay a piece of pasteboard about six inches long and four inches wide, allowing it to project beyond the front feet to form the apron; then build on the body of the stove, making it of spools two layers deep, as in Fig. 69. Cut a piece of pasteboard to fit over the spools for the stove top, and have it long enough to stand out a short distance at the back; then you can build on the stovepipe (Fig. 70). [Illustration: FIG. 71--The kitchen dresser.] Make the dresser of spools and strips cut from pasteboard boxes (Fig. 71). [Illustration: FIG. 72--The dining table.] For the tubs stand four spools close together, and set a little round box on top of them. Make the washboard of a piece of paper folded many times backward and forward, fan fashion. After carefully creasing the folds, pull the paper out slightly and put it in the tub for the next washday (Fig. 68). After cooking, =A Dining Table= will be needed. With eight spools and a piece of pasteboard cut from a box you can make a fine dining table; the legs of the table are four columns of two spools each, as you see in Fig. 72, and the chairs are made of spools with bent pieces of cardboard pasted on top. The decorations of the table are small spools with bright tissue-paper for flowers arranged at the four corners of the table, and the plates are the round pasteboard tops from milk bottles. When enough furniture has been manufactured, build =A Wagon= [Illustration: FIG. 73--Pattern of little wagon.] [Illustration: FIG. 74--The wagon of cardboard with spool for wheels.] Cut Fig. 73 from heavy paper or cardboard that will fold without breaking. Bend all the dotted lines and cut all the heavy lines in the pattern. Push a burnt match, or a wooden toothpick through one hub, then through an empty spool and the second hub. The spool forms the wheels. Screw a small pin cautiously through each of the two projecting ends of the match, piercing the wood and leaving the head and point of the pin standing out (Fig. 74). Tie a knot in the end of a string to prevent its sliding out and thread it through the hole in the dashboard. [Illustration: FIG. 75--A Sunday-school room made of spools.] By laying narrow strips of paper on a table or on the floor to form a boundary line, you may make a =Sunday-School Room= Leave an open space for the doorway at the opposite end of the room from the organ. Build up a column of four large spools a
