A Genuine Match
It is surprising how universal is the law of love! Even two plain pieces of wood are unable to resist the impulses of the great passion.
Take out the bottom of a match-box, and split it into two pieces. Double over the ends at about a quarter of the way up, as in [Fig. 16]. On one piece make the rough sketch of a girl, and upon the other a similar drawing of a man, and then place the pieces together, as shown in the illustration.
Fig. 16.—Drawings in position.
If you pour a few drops of water over the joints of the two pieces of wood, you will find that the two figures slowly and surely rise up to meet each other, and will eventually press their two faces closely in a long kiss. They may be some time about it, but then pleasures delayed are always doubly enjoyable!
