Get four boards about one inch
thick, nine inches wide and three
feet long, One board should be six
inches longer than the others to leave
ends sticking out at top and bottom
by which you can fasten the house
to the tree trunk. Now nail the
boards together to make a square tube,
but first cutting off the front board
to leave an opening four inches wide
at the bottom. Then nail a bottom on
the box and roof on the top. Next,
In the top Of the front make a hole
three inches across.
All that is left to do is to make a
drawer to fit tightly into the opening
made by the short front board of the
bottom. The only use of this drawer
is to make 1t easy for you to clean
out the house, or to see the baby
squirrels that are sure to come after
your bushy-tailed tenant has brought
his family and settled down to house
keeping. II you wish to make a rain
shedding roof simply saw the tops of
your boards In V shape before nail
ing the box together. When your
squirrel-house is done fasten It against
tree trunk up close to the lower
branches and pick out tree that is
high enough for your tenant to be
safe from dogs and cats and bad boys.
The next thing to do is to scatter
some nice oily nuts about on the grass
under the tree, and the first squirrel
that comes along will be likely to say:
well. this looks like a nice fiat ana

that the question is written a little

She then asks the person nearest
her Nv hat will you bring to the pic

round, asking each, What will you

For example, suppose one girls

donation is candy and bread. Then
she cannot go. for neither of her
names commences with G or b; but
If she took sandwiches and macaroons
she would be doubly welcome, for NJ
