An Inverted Solid-Bottom Chair with Attachments Used for a Child’s High Chair

Where a high chair is not at hand or available, an ordinary solid-bottom kitchen chair can be used instead, if rigged up as shown in the illustration. The chair is reversed, and the back is used as one support, while two pieces of wood fastened to the sides form the other. A seat board is fastened to the upper side rounds, and a table board to the two lower side rounds. A small piece is nailed to the two back posts for a back.—Contributed by J. S.
