Fig. 5.—A portable tent.
A portable tent is made from a few sheets of brown paper glued together to form a huge square (A, A, A, A, [Fig. 5]), the paper cut out to the shape described (B, B, B, B, [Fig. 5]), and folded at the dotted lines, C, C, C, C.
The whole is then arranged over three poles, crossed and tied together at the top, an opening or entrance being formed by the segment cut away.
Outfit for Highwayman
A highwayman’s mask will prove easy of construction, and a thing of delight to the average boy. Moreover, it will often find a place in charades.

Fig. 7.—Highwayman’s leggings.
On a width of black sateen or any other suitable material a design is drawn as shown in [Fig. 6], marked with chalk and cut away to fit the face. A piece of thin black tape is fixed to either side, so that the mask may be tied round the head just above the ears.
