st. Valentines Day is at hand. To-
morrow morning Will usher in this
glad day, and all day lovers will be
crowding the stores and filling Unoie
Sans carriers with packages OF love
for their sweethearts.
Among tho latest designs and tho
rage this year Is the Japanese and cell

sist of papier mache figures OF tiny
men and maidens huggiug each other
mHdly. swinging in bamboo hammocks
with arms entertained or raped in
the ec5tacy OF kiss.
The figures rest on bases of thick
cardboard, adorned with appropriate
sentiments. Some of the celluloid
designs are useful as we'll as ornumen
tai, and arc In the form Of small
pockets and other handy articles.
Others are in the form OF yoke,
bearing this declarations:
It's not In joke,
Isend this yoke,
or you | fontly dream.
If you W II mate,

And we will make team.
