Cigarettes are delivered attractively and with dispatch when the winch of this miniature well is turned to draw them up out of their container. Lowered back into this desk or table decoration, they stand with their ends almost flush with the "brick" wall.

From 1/2" stock cut five rings 4" in diameter and with 21/4" holes, and paint them brick red on the outside. When the paint has dried, clamp them together and make 12 parallel, equally spaced saw cuts along the cylinder so formed to a depth of about 1/16". This leaves a series of white marks showing through the red paint and, when the rings are staggered, stacked, and glued I in the final assembly, will represent I mortar. For the mortar between 1 courses, cut rings of white cardboard, as in Fig. 1. If the cardboard isn't as thick as the saw cuts, use two or more pieces between each row of "bricks."

Make the base from 3/4" stock and recess in it a 21/4" diameter hole to which is fitted a disk that will pull easily through the well. The winch may be lathe-turned, or two rings cut from 1/8" plywood may be glued to the ends of a dowel. Slot one end to take a right-angle bend in the wire of which the crank is formed; then assemble the winch between uprights mortised into the "brick" wall. Knot a cord, pass it through a counterbored hole in the disk, and attach the other end to the winch. These part are shown in Fig. 2.

The roof is made of four light pieces of wood put together as in Fig. 3. Tack on strips of cardboard that have been cut with a razor blade to indicate spaces between shingles. Strips are put on the ends to rep-resent clapboard.

Paper-Dolly "Snowflakes" Add A Christmas Note To Windows

Cut from the centers of simple lace-paper doilies that can be bought at any 10-cent or department store, frosty-looking snowflakes like those shown at right are a decorative novelty that will dress up your windows for the Christmas season. Choose doilies from which eight-sided flakes can be cut, or take them from several different packs to get a variety of shapes. Glue a snow-flake to the center of each small pane, or attach them in irregular patterns on full-size panes.-
