If you renlly'wish an answer to your letter, please read instructions head-ing this department before writing. Dear Miss Brooks: I have never written to you before, but have always been a reader of the "Between You and Me" corner and think your answers to questions are a great help to everyone, so I am golnrr to ask you a question myself that has been pustzllni? me for a long time. Why are you, and not only you but In fact all the elder generation so opposed to petting? In your answers to questions you say No! No! No! do not let the boys kiss and hug you, and our fnlks preach the same thlntrs to us, "DO NOT LET THE BOYS I'ET YOU." I have always let the boys pet me ever since 1 have gone with them, and can not see what harm a few kixnes and hugs will do. In fact I feel slighted If the boye do not pet me and think they do not like me well enough. Boys do not care for, or at least they do not seek the company of the girls who will not be petted and they laugh at them and make fun of them because they are "slow." and most of the girls I know think the bovs are "slow" if they do not pet them. I like for the boys to "love me up." If there is anything makes me feel like screaming it Is to get out with a boy who is afraid to give you a few kisses or even put his arm around you. Most boys nowadays are termed as "swell Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low, But cheerily stlU; and said, "I pray thee, then, Write me as one who loves his fellow-men- ." The angel wrote and vanished. The next nitrht He came agafn with a great wakening light. And showed the names whom God had bles'd, And lo! Ben Adliem's name led all the rest. Leigh Hunt. Dear Miss Brooks: I appreciated the splendid answers you gave me to the last questions so much, that I am writing again. You certainly were of assistance to me. (1) What Is the proper height and weight for a girl 17 years old? (2) Does the name of Naomi have any meaning or significance, if en what is it? With oodles of best wishes. ," Ut. It is gratifying to know. that I have been a real help to you. my dear. T!ie average height of a girl 17 years old Is about five feet and two inches and the weight 113 pounds. Naomi means "pleasant." To LILA CLEAVES, Garland, Ut. Your letter of April fith, was answered at some length and mailed to you. It returned to me June ltith, marked "Un-known." If you still desire the Infor-mation you requested please send an addressed stamped envelope. Dear Miss Brooks: At last you have given me a chance to thank you for the wonderful enjoy-ment I have received from your little sunshine corner by sending to you three of the songs requested by your most Interested readers. I also wish to thank you for the many good points I have gained from your answers. I hope these songs may be of use to you. As ever your friend, "BROWN EYES," Summit, Ut. And now I am fully repaid for what-ever pleasure or information I may have been able to give you through my corner, by the receipt of your three sonrs. At least three persons will be lovers," and if they are not swell lovers the glrle avoid them, the same way the girls who will not pet or be petted are avoided by the popular boys. I know, for I tried being "nice" once Just to see how It would go, and It didn't work at all, and any way 1 like to be petted, so again I ask the question, WHAT IS THE HARM IN PETTING? JUST A QUESTIONER, from Idaho. I am printing the above letter be-cause I believe it was written In good faith and expresses a sentiment which makes the question Involved a vital one to a great many people and because It was the original purpose of this cor- ner (and still Is) to serve its readers by giving out information not easily obtained otherwise, and not a medium through which to express my own in-dividual views anu ideas on various questions, I am now anxious to give the readers of this corner an oppor-tunity of expressing themselves on this particular question. I am particularly anxious that persons of all ages and both men and women, boys and girls, take advantage of this opportunity. As many letters received on this sub-ject as possible will be printed, in order that the little lady, as well as others may read for themselves what others thing on this most important question To you at this time, dear Miss Ques- tioner, I will only say that when I have advised against the practice of prom- iscuous "petting" I have at the same time endeavored in some degree to ex-plain why I did not think It wise. If you feel I could give you any further reasons or advice I ahall be onlv too happy to write you personally If you will but let me know. Personally I am Intensely Interested In the bovs' and girls' problems and certainly have no desire to deprive them of one joy, but let me write the rest to you. Dear Miss Brooks: What a handy corner this Is! I would like to ask one more favor of you There are two poems I would like very much to get. One I think Is entitled Abou Hen Adhem's Dream." The other Is. "The Convict's Christmas Eve Hoping I am not asking too much I remain. A. B., Idaho. I am very glad to print one of the poems you wish, the correct title being "Abou Ben Adhem and the Angel." The other one you request I have not found under the title you give and do not a poem which would suggest such a title, but we will hope some reader may. and If so you are sure to receive it sooner or later. made glad by receiving the three songs; and I myself had three separate and distinct thrills of gladness and pleasure at receiving them and your cear little letter. So you see it is really worth while to try to help one another Isn't it? Thanks, Brown Eyes. Dear Miss Brooks: I am very much In love with the cor-ner "Between You and Me:" the an-swers you give are so helpful to girls and boys. May I ask some questions? (1) If one's hair Is inclined to be curly, what can one do to make It more so? (2) Are the . bandana colors, or I be-lieve that Is what you call them, going out of style? "Oodles" of love. "TRIXIE.", Spanish Fork, Ut. Thanks, Trixle. Awfully nice of you to tell me about it. (1) To encourage the hair to curl twine It about your finger and brush It there, leaving It this way If possible. You do not give me your age so I do not know how you could wear It. Braiding the hair will often straighten hair that would other-wise be curly if given a chance. Damp-en the hair about the face and make ringlets, and emphasize the waves over the head by forming them with the fingers while the hair Is damp. (2) 1 believe the original name for the style you mention is the Paisley designs and colors which are not quite so popular perhaps at present as are the Egyptian designs, although both are very pop-ular. Just how soon these two will be supplanted by some still newer design or fad, I cannot say, "REDDY," Idaho. And once more one of our readers has sent us another of those dear old songs, and I hope many will enjoy It with you, Reddy. I'VE A LONGINCJ IN MY HEART FOR YOU, LOUISE. I. I've a longing in my heart for you, Louise, And I wonder If you also think of me; For your sweet face haunts me ever, dear LouIbc, And In dreams 1 kiss your sweet lips tenderly. I seem to hear the old church chimes as in the bygone days, I seem to hear the whlppo'will's sad lay; And it brings me back to you, my dear Louise, And the gentle waving cornfields far away. I've a longing In mv heart for von ABOU BEN ADHEM AND THE ANGEL Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe Increase) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw within the moonlight of ths room Making: It rich, and like a lily bloom. An angel writing: In a book of gold; Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold. And to the Pretence In the room ha aid, "What wrlteet thour The vlalon ralad hli head, And with a look made all of sweet accord, Anawerd, "The names of those who love the Lord." "And Is mine onef' said Abou. "Nay not so," Louise, And for the dear old sunny southern home. You can scent the honeysuckle and the grasrant Jeesamine, I've a longing In my heart for you. Birds were singing 'round the dear old southern home, And a dark-haire- d maiden sits beneath a tree. Thinking of her true love, many miles away. And she's wondering If he'll ever con- stant be. When soft upon the summer breeze she hears her name, Louise. It thrills her heart that beats for him alone; Then he takes her In his arms so ten-derly, And he says: "I've come to claim you as my own." i Dear Helen: I hope that I am welcome In your Interesting corner.

Patriotic motives finally In-fluenced him to enter Into an agree-ment with the Memorial Foundation. Montlcello was Jefferson's home from 1770 till his death, July 4. 181W, and therefore famous. Hut with Its passage out of the possession of the Jefferson family a little more than a century ago, It was all but forgotten by the public; not completely, how-ever, because In 1805 the legality of the will of Commodore Uriah Phillips Lvy, leaving the estate to the federal 'or to the state government for use as n agricultural college, or to Hebrew charity organizations, was contested In the courts by his family. In 1012 a bill was Introduced In congress by Representative Martin W. Littleton providing for the purchase of Monti-cell- o by the nation. Although the time was propitious because the Dem-ocratic party had Just returned to power, the bill was not pnssed, nor was It In 1017 when It was revived. Jefferson, as every good American knows or should know, was third Pres-ident of the United States, 1801-01- He was born In Virginia April 13, 1743. He was graduated from William and Mary college In 17(52 and admitted to the bar In 1707. He was member of the Continental congress, 1775-1770- ; member of the committee Jefferson, Adams, Sherman, Franklin and Uv-Ingst-to draft the Declaration or Independence; one of the signers; a leading member of the Virginia legis-lature, 1770; governor of Virginia, 1779; member of congress, 1783; min-ister to France, 1784-178- secretary of state. 1790-170- undr- - Washington ; vice president, 1707-180- 1 In the ad-ministration of John Adunis; founder of the University of Virginia; mar-ried, 1772, Marthn Wales Skelton; died July 4, 1820, at Montlcello; left one son and five daughters. While President, Jefferson pursued a vigorous policy of economy; hence the phrase "Jeffersonlan simplicity. He made many political removals from office, the heirlnnlno-- nf tha "......n.. Montlcello Is peculiarly fitted to be a Jefferson shrine because he himself planned and built the mansion. Its location Is about three miles from Charlotte, the seat of the University of Virginia, which Jefferson founded. On every side from the spot which Jefferson selected as the site of his home stretch great reaches of some of the n.ost beautiful country In the United States. The stto of Jefferson's birthplace, Shadwell, Is only a short distance away. He himself selected the site for bis mountain home, drew the de-signs and plans for the house, select-ed the stone and timber used In the structure, looked after the construc-tion of the brick and 'he nails made by his own servants, devised advanced and Ingenious contrivances for com-fort and convenience, designed the decoration of the Interior and per-sonally selected the furnhhlngs und ornaments, and not only planned but gave personal supervision to the lay-ing out of the various buildings on the estate, the gnrdens, the walks and the roadways. Work was begun on the bouse In 1704. When Shadwell was destroyed by fire In 1770. Montlcello was far enough completed for the family to move In. Two years Inter he brought his bride, Martha Wayles Skelton. there, al-though a greater part of the house was still unfinished. Irdwd, through-out his life, Montlcello continued In minor ways, ns his biographer Itnynor puts It. 'o he In a state of almost constant edification and re edification. In 1S03, there were still rooms to be plastered. In 1SOS the main house It-self might be said to be completed, but hng after that he experimented with garden temples and other small-er buildings. Though architecture was only a hobby with Jefferson, today he Is ac-claimed a great architect. Anyway Montlcello Is not the only example of his work; he Is responsible for the long extending coastal plains to the east. The appearance Is of one story and entering the hall one Is still de-ceived, for Jefferson disliked stair-cases to such an extent that he shut them all up In closets. The hall shows only a gallery on which the bedrooms open. In the dome Itself Jefferson planned a billiard room, but a law was passed by the state before It was completed, forbidding the game and so It was left In r.n unfinished state. The wings of the house end In octagonal projections; the northern one containing the dining room, tea room and two guest rooms, the south-ern forming Jefferson's private suite, sitting room, library and bedroom. Under the dome on the west Is the great drawing room, famous for Its parquette flooring of native woods and Its pillared portico. There were 1552 acres In the estate. More fiotahle of the architectural features of the house Is the hiding away, of all signs of kitchen, laundry, stable and the many workshops nec-essary on a plantation cf that period when almost every article In dally use was manufactured on the estate by servants and slaves. The sharp declivity of the mountain made It pos-sible to have these offices all at a lower level than the house. A tunnel from the basement leads right and left to one-stor- y pavilions, used by the sloves. Ity this contrivance dish-washers, cooks, butlers, maids, troops of slaves with wood for fires, cans of ashes, palls of hot or cold water did their work without disturbing the tranquillity of the family and their guests. An oddity contrived by Jeffer-son Is a dumb-waite-r for hoisting wine from the cellar, with a capacity of but one bottle. Montlcello, undoubtedly the finest mansion in thnt section of Virginia, cost Its nwn.T, according to his ac count books, about $7,200. The orna-mental stone was brought from Phil-adelphia to Illcbmond by water and - - ft - ejriMIB system" of Jackson's time. The prin-cipal events of nis administration were these: The war against Tripoli, because of piracy against American vessels; the Louisiana purchase from France; the passage of the twelfth amendment to the Constitution; the duel between Hamilton and Uurr and Burr's trial for treason ; the Lewis and Clark expedition; Tike's expedi-tion to the Kocky mountains; Eng. land's assertion of the right to search American vessels for Rrltlsh desert-ers; the embargo act; Fulton's Cler-mont In regular service between New York and Albany; an act prohibiting the slave trade. uiuiiuic in rrvriiu jiiner plantation houses In the neighborhood and took great delight during his last years In planning the buildings of the Univer-sity of Virginia and overseeing their construction. The exterior of Montlcello "Little Mountain" Is In the Doric order of architecture. The Interior Is In the Ionic style. A portico, the full height of the house, with stone pillars and steps projects 25 feet. It Is a brick mansion 100 by 100 feet, with whlto pillars, cornices and balustrades sur-mounted by a dome, standing In the midst of a lawn overlooking river, woodland and fertile valley, with a view of mountains to the west and of n mi lea irom lllchmond In carts. When Jefferson In 1S09 completed his second term as President, he has-tened to Montlcello; there he Imped to find privacy, freedom and leisure. In a measure, perhaps, he realized them. He enjoyed society, but he did not relish the Intrusion of Idle, curi-ous fellow countrymen who came to stare and finger. Capt. Edmund Itaker, for 20 years Jeffersrn's overseer and man of busl-nes- s, said that Jefferson's visitors "ate him out of house and home." Any-way, on Jefferson's death the estate was so Impoverished thnt his heirs were compelled to part with Monti-cell- Salt Lake City Firms To auiire prompt serrico and Quick returns to thwt advertisements mention the, name of I10Y3 WANTED Between 8e of 8 and 16.
