these boxes is usually not hard to find
in any home where there are dbllies
wanting house of their very own.

sary in converting the hat box into
a doll house, that of detaching one
side (A) at the corner, and separat-
ing both it and the side adjoining OBJ
from the box bottom Fold back the
two detached sides in the manner
shown in Fig. 2, with side B in line
