CLOCK.
Use the kind of box described for the tabouret, or box and cover of a peppermint box cut the right height and fastened together.
1. Use a silver dollar or end of large spool as pattern for the face. Mark the face directly on the box, or make it on white paper and glue it on.2. Cut the legs and openings.3. Make the pendulum of cardboard and long enough to extend up into the top.4. Cut hands of pasteboard or bits of tin.5. Push a long pin or wire hairpin through the hands, middle of face, top of pendulum and back of the clock. Bend the end of the wire down. You can then move the hands and swing the pendulum.6. You might put a fastener into the lower end of the pendulum and double the prongs out of sight. This looks attractive and also makes the pendulum heavier so that it swings better.

It surely would be lots of funIf our clock could really go;But let’s just push the pendulum,To make it swing to and fro.
