With a pack of cards make houses in this manner. Place two on their
narrow ends, fixing the tops level.
[Illustration: Fig. 75.]
On each side of the opening stand a card longwise.
And place two other cards at the end of the last pair, to form a square
surrounding the triangle.
[Illustration: Fig. 76.]
[Illustration: Fig. 77.]
Each side of the central cards lay two more, flat upon the outward pair,
like a roof.
[Illustration: Fig. 78.]
On this platform rear cards like the first pair, and continue till the
whole pack is used; with care many of the under cards at the side can be
removed to continue the structure.
