Don't Worry
About ChiId's
Suffering

Your child's first words are
even more important than
you think. They're closely
connected with his emotions
and his feeling of self-con-
fidence, and nothing can help
or hurt him more than
parents attitude toward these
first attempts to make him
self undersood to others So
says the article WHAT A.
BOUT MY CHILD'S SPEECH?
In the current issue of PER
SONAL ROMANCES which is
compiled from the wide ex-
perience of the doctors at
NYU-Bellevue Medical Center
These doctors tell us that
children vary a great deal in
the age at which they start
to talk, and this is in no
way an indication of their
degree of intelligence. Some
children manage to convey
their wishes by signs and
motions and SO find no neces-
sity for words. If your child
from the age of two on is
like this, make believe YOU
don't understand him and
he'll find the words to ex-
press himself. If a child is
alone a great deal, he doesn't
hear much speech and doesn't
have the incentive to initiate
1T. If your wo-and-a-hali
year old doesn't speak, at all
or very poorly, you should
check on his hearing.
Suffering is a problem
which disturbs many parents
but the Bellevue doctors say
that every child shutters
somewhat between the ages
OF two and five. It doesn't
mean that he is nervous, fol-

Institute Has Pictures
PaintedWith> Stitches

Besides early samplers de-
picting many stitches in en-
broidery, pictures made in va
rying stitches with colored
silks and threads add much
interest to what one might call
"the art of painting with "Sti-
tches." Landscapes with fig
ureS were often produced to
portray local areas by skilled
needle-workers. Canvas foun-
dations were sometimes al
ready decorated with outlines
for embroidery workers, var
led subjects being put out by
experts for the trade. The
earliest embroidered pictures
generally depicted religious
themes, but the pictures made
during the middle Of the 18th
century vary somewhat. There
were some pastoral scenes en-
broidered on canvas and other
colorful subjects which were
framed and priced by one
generation after another. At
one time, scenes depicting Bos-
ton Common were very popu-
lar. One worked by Hannah
Otis in 1745, shows quite clear
ly surrounding buildings and
houses which have been iden-
titled. Schools were operated
especially for the purpose of
teaching young ladies the art
of embroidery. In 1742, a
Mrs. Condy, opened a school
supplying certain materials
"for the work she teaches"
She designed her own patterns
for making pocketbooks
housewives, screens, pictures
chimney pieces, escritoires
etc., guaranteeing that her
patterns were as good as any
OF foreign import. In 1757
an advertisement appeared for
lessons on drawing upon sat-
ms, canvasses and general
embroidery, by a David Mason
who was a Japanner by trade
There must have been quite
some demand for this type Of
art education as early news
papers contained a great MANY

lures had the sky and back

These were usually worked in

person. There are a few in
the Essex Institute which are
