Below the line you have drawn, make another, three inches farther down the sides of the box. This line forms the base of windows.
Next, make the windows that come nearest each corner of the box. Measure two inches from each corner. This gives the right spacing from the corner. Measure two inches more on your horizontal line at the top of the building, and this will give the width of a window. Make the end windows first. Then make the ones that come between. Space evenly, so that windows may come at regular intervals. Cut out each window on all four sides. (For cutting a window, see [Diagram One, A], page 166.) Arrange your lower story windows as you have the upper ones.
At the center upon the front of your building outline a large double door four inches square. It should come at the very base of bandbox. (To cut double door, see [Diagram Two, B], page 167.) Cut its top line. Cut its base line. Cut the cardboard between these two lines in half vertically to make the door.
When windows and door are made, then you may paste some three-inch squares of glacine paper back of each window inside the box. The window-glass is made this way. If you like, you may leave some windows open.
The building is ready, now, to stand upon the larger bandbox cover. As you see, this makes a porch.
Place the smaller bandbox cover over the upper part of your hat-box to make a flat roof.
Over the front door you may make a flat roof. (See [Diagram Three, G], page 172.) Use for it a narrow box cover. Glue one long rim of this cover to the cardboard over your doorway. Press a pencil point downward through each forward corner of the cover to make a pillar. The pencil points may be secured in the holes of two spools and thus keep the roof upright. If you wish, you may glue the spools where they should go.
Cut a narrow strip of cardboard and write the name of your hotel upon it. Glue this over the doorway.
Flower-stands for the hotel veranda are simple things to make. One spool will be needed for each flower-stand. Press the stems of some artificial flowers into the hole of the spool. If you have gilt paint, you can gild the stands. I painted mine with black water-color paint.
Penny dolls make guests for the hotel. They come already dressed, but you can take one or two of yours and dress them like men dolls. I inked mine. You can see them in the picture.
