a very acceptable present for any little
friend.
An examination of the drawing will
show that the various parts are joined
by carefully cut joints. To anyone
who reads this article and thinks the
project too hard because Of the joints.
let me say that the drawing of the bed

And the fatter we grew. and the
more milk we drank. the thinner and
ieaner she became. But she never
complained. as she was used to fasting
through the winter. and then her
stomach had cnance to rest, which
was something you know. that she
ought to have been glad OF. When
we were not lunching or sleeping. our
mother taught US to box and wrestle
and before long we had muscles in
cur arms that stood out in knots
The more we romped and played. the
more heat was generated, SO Of
course. our snow walls kept melting,
and our room got bigger and bigger.

er than the summer. Our days and
nights are not like they are in other
parts of the world either. for about
six months. the sun never does quite
set. and the other SKI months 1t does
not rise at all. But shut up In our
snow house we were just as warm ana
comfy as if we lived in steam

our bodies could not get out. as there
were no windows or doors. and just
one tiny little hole that led up through
the snow to the surface.
This is how we got air for breath
