Custom Borrowed From Nature.

The eradling system was borrowed
from Nature. Civilized and savage
rocked their babies. The American In
dian woman swung her papoOse to the
bending boughs Of the trees and 1azily
let the wind do the rocking. The In
dian mother had seen the cradle nest
OF the oriOle or perhaps the prehensile
nest Of the red-eyed vireO. It was an
easy suggestion, and the mothers living
next to Nature took quick advantage.
