MYERS, Ph.D. Frequently parents have writ- ten me to inquire if they should spell words for the child when he is writing a letter or doing written homework. Always have urged them to do so, Here are my reasons: If we say to the child, 'Go look it up in the dictionary," he may not care to take the trouble of doing so; he prefers to guess at its spelling, often spelling it wrong. Don't we want to help the child acquire a spelling conscience? On the other hand, we wish him to be self-reliant and acquire good dictionary habits, 1 have said, however, that when we parents are ourselves doubtful of the spelling we night well look up with the child its spelling and gradually try to encourage him to do so alone, Of course, when we spell a word for a child at home we parents cultivate a companion- able relationship with him.

The buttoned boot and laced and strapped shoes made their appearance, with heels about an inch and a half high. At the beginning of the 20th | century, Mrs. Brett says, the emphasis shifted from skirt.to hodice. Skirts, except for some back fullness, became smooth and simple. STILL BONED The 1890s saw the popular- ity of the leg o' mutton sleeve and the. fitted bodice give way to one with soft folds and draperies. It wasn't any more comfortable, however, The trimmings were attached to a lining that was still fitted and | boned. Karly in this century the lines looked much as they had almost a century earlier--ver- | tical, basically simple, with a slightly high waist In the period before the First, World War the hobble skirt 'appeared. Mrs. Brett says it wasn't as hard to walk in as it appears to be. Un obtrusive pleating or a subtle cut allowed the wearer sone freedom. The biggest innovation of the time was the "disappear- ance of restrictive underpin- | nings in clothes.
