Resale.
Rosalie and Rose appear to be
of the same general root, the more
euphonious name OF Rosstlie be-
ing French extraction. A curl
Gus point is that the color rose is
irrevocably associated with the
name Rosalie, as well as Rose.
The history OF the name Rosalie
is most interesting. 1t first was
given to fair women of France and
it was there that st. Dominic ar
ranged a series of devotions by
means of telling beads upon a
string. These formed the rosar-
ium, or rose garden. or freely
translated, delights of devotion.
The Rosarium has day to itself
in the Roman calendar and may
possibly have named the transat-
lantic saint Rosa di LUNA, which
gave rise to Rosita. Switzerland

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am girl
almost twenty years of age. Since
last summer have kept company
with a nice young man of 81. l
love him dearly and it would break
my heart to give him up now as we
have been engaged a short time.
My parents object to my seeing
him and refuse to let him come to
see me. They do not know we are
engaged and l am waiting fer a
good opportunity to tell him.
l have met his parents and they
like me very much and have no
objection to our marrying. If we
get married now, as my friend
wishes, We can make our home with
his parents until We wish to go to
housekeeping. Would you advise
me to marry him now and live with
his parents for time, or wait a
year or SO until we can have a
home Of our own?
AS my parents object to my see
ing him we have met each other
without their knowing about it.
We can't see each other often
enough and so my friend wants to
marry in the early spring. Would
you advise me to do that? l have
thought Of doing it, but / think |
would be turned out of my home.
! am sure he will make me happy
and give me good home and SO /
would be willing to lose my home
and marry him.
Do you think my parents are nm
just to us?
Would be taking a misstep II l
told them about our secret engage
ment and then married him yery
soon? HOpEFI-I,
Unless your parents have some
very good reason for doubling the
young mans character, 1t seems to
me their opposition is unjust.
Wait q year or two until you can
have a home Of your own. To mar
~ now and live in the home of your
fiance's parents would give you a
wrong start. They may like Won
very much. but difficulties are
bound to arise II you try living to-
gether. You and the young man
are both to young to marry any,
way.
1t seems to me that you will he
happier II you tell your parents
about your. engagement. II the,
