is easy to erect. Push two forked sticks into the ground and on one bind an upright slender branch ([Fig. 509]); then lay a pole across from one crotch to another (Figs. 510 and 511).

Procure some bright-colored flowered material, or cloth of any kind and hang it over the central pole. Stretch out the four corners and peg them to the ground ([Fig. 512]).
