Baby’s Sleigh.—In Fig. 1 we have the sleigh as it looks when it is finished. To upholster it would add to our difficulties, so we will depend upon an abundance of cushions for baby’s comfort. In Fig 2 we have a piece of strong board A B C D 3/8 of an inch thick, two feet long and one foot wide. From C to E is three inches, from C to G seven inches and from D to F three inches. The curve from A to G must be drawn according to the taste of the young joiner. When this side has been cut out it is easy to make the other from it.

Now for the backboard. In Fig. 3 A B C D we have a piece of wood fifteen inches square. The inside lines at the bottom are one and a half inches from D and C. E and F are three inches from A and B. Put your compasses at I for a centre and draw the curve E F. If your compasses are not large enough a piece of pencil tied to a string will serve. The front board may be made like the lower half of the back board. Nail or screw the parts together and put on a bottom that fits. Inside, the seat rests on two strips, one screwed upon each side. These strips are of wood three eighths of an inch thick, an inch wide and eight inches long. The seat may be about a foot wide. The runners come next. In Fig. 4 A B C D, we have a board three quarters of an inch thick, three feet long and seven inches wide. The distance from D to E is eight inches. From A measure eight inches along the upper edge to G, then two inches to H and from H draw the line H F. Draw the curve A H. F should be three inches from the line B C.
