You are most welcome, loene. The daisy is a familiar and favorite flower of Europe snd America. The typical daisy is pure white and single, wth a yellow or brown ccnUr. Wthout any care or attention thii little flower will grow and spread and choke out other plnnti, so to the farm-r or gardener It is a reed, the white-weed, but to the florist it i ".he popular Marguerite. Some of l"s relatives re the shaita daisy, the black-eyed Su'an and wild atV rs. and there is a great variety of colon. In the days of chivalry the daily was the emb'm of love and tfuVlity, but in the modern flower language it represent simplicity, simplic-ity, innocence and mxity. (2) See answer to A. C. Salnia.

I accept the compliment compli-ment and I am sure you mean ever? word of it I can readily understand how anyone in your preMint uplifted mental condition could see things just that way. I wish you the greatest sucensi and cannot believe you will fall to win the young lady's heart. Of course the song you mention might help, but 1u-t In the way of a suggestion, don't you think If "The Shirk" were added to your list there could then be no question as to h?- utter collapse, or (pardon me) rather, the ciuiderl of her heart would be stormed in such a manner that she could res lit you no longer? Thanks also for your good wishes.
