Rocking chairs are commonly re-

through the stage of makeshift rock

the form of an arc, to those which
constituted an integral part of the
chair, and from these to those mon
strosities of furniture called patent
rockers. That was the beginning of
their decadence, says the Boston Tran
script. Rocking chairs are made now,
but they are simple i'm construction,
