From William Hennessey's 1954 book Things for Boys and Girls To Make (a remarkably unsexist collection of woodworking projects, considering the year it was published). Suitable for dollhouse use if made at 1/12 scale from popsicle sticks.

(UPDATE: Three nights later, I rolled over in the twin bed in my hotel room and fell out, hitting every single corner on the nightstand and accumulating a set of bruises on my shoulder and wrist that made my husband scowl when I got home. I am used to sleeping in a much larger bed).
Socialism is a scare word they have hurled at every advance the people have made in the last 20 years.

When Baldur the Wonder Dog and I finished at the library tonight, we were followed out to the parking lot by five little girls (and I mean little, the ramrod of the outfit was probably about nine). I explained that it was time to take the doggie home, opened the back door of the Blazer, and gave the command LOAD. Baldur jumped in.
So did five little girls.
(I had to bribe them with bookmarks to get them out).
