ANOTHER BOY FROM IDAHO. You are herewith admitted and alio welcomed heartily. (1) No, Boy, It la not necessary to Immediately and at onco take tho young lady to some place of amusemont. Chat pleasantly a few minutes, but there Is no nerd for such hei' haste, although It you are particularly anxious to take the little lady out, you could make an engagement to do so at some future time, If you so desired, tf I'm afraid to guoss your age afraid .i.a becauso I think you are too young to be making many dates with young ladles. la-dles. Now aren't you? Thanks, Boy, for your good wishes and also for tho song. Dear Miss Brooks: om I hope that I am welcome to your corner nnd thnt you will answer my questions. (1) What Is tho meaning of Grace, Annie, Mary and Florence? (2) When nn automobllo stops should n girl go to the car or should tho boyo come to tho girls? It. A. u., Spanish Fork., Utah. You are nit welcome, my dear. (1) Graco Is a Latin name and Annie Is Ho-,U. Ho-,U. brew, both moaning "grace;" Mary means "bitter," and Floronce means "blooming." I do not find that your ,1 other names have a spoclal meaning; ... (2) If a young man calls at your homo In nn automobile ho should come to your door for you. It Is very rudo for a boy to sit In his oar and expect a. girl to como running out when ho "honks" for her. A young man should t be courteous enough to call for a young t'tle slrI ot ner door. 0" Doar Miss Brooks: I am enclosing one pt the requested! songs, and would like to hnvo the song,' "As your hair grows whiter."

I do not How recall a song by the tltlo you request but we shall seo If some-k some-k ono olso recognizes It. I do not know the tttle of a poem I wish, but I can give the theme of It. It Is about n poor violinist. Whllo ho looks at his old violin, his favorllo ono, which I think ho Intends to sell, he tells tho story of the llfo It has gone through. Part of tho story Is this: A woman, of exquisite beauty, snt In a ' box sent by the stage. Her arms were . full of beautiful roses, He, tho violin-nil violin-nil lat, sees her and falls In lovo with her. He then plays "The last Rose of Summer." Ho ploys It so beautifully , that the lady In tha box cries nnd says, mo' "No! Nol Bee, tho world Is full of roaos," and throws her roses on the stngo before tho artist, Ono thorn clings to tho strings. If you can 11 nd these ploces for me I will not bo able r08 to thank you enough as I vnluo thorn both vory much. I thnnk you kindly for your kind and prompt attontlon.
