While the child is thus at the board, they either lay itflat on its back, or set it leaning on one end, or else hangit up by a string fastened to the upper end of the board forthat purpose ; the child and board being all this while car-risd about together. As our women undress their childrento clean and shift their linen, so they do theirs to wash andgrease them. The method the women have of carrying their childrenafter they are suffered to crawl about, is very particular;they carry them at their backs in summer, taking one leg ofthe child under their arm, and the counter-arm of the childin their hand over their shoulder ; the other leg hangingdown, and the child all the while holding fast with itsother hand ; but in winter they carry them in the hollow oftheir match-coat at their back, leaving nothing but thechilds head out, as appears by the figure.
