A Few Sticks of Wood and a Clothes Basket Make a Convenient Cradle for the Baby

A clothes basket on a simple but strong wooden frame, mounted on castors, makes a cradle which is as convenient and sanitary as many which are sold for five times its cost. It is light enough to roll out on the porch without difficulty, and may be padded and fitted with pillows until the most exacting mother is satisfied. The basket and frame should be painted, preferably some light color. The whole cost, not including pads or pillows, should not be over $2.50.—A. Switzer, Denver, Colo.
