New York Jan. 2l.-Americans may be,
and doubtless are, a practical, busy peo-
pie, but ST. Valentine has managed to re-
tain his hold on their hearts. Valentines
are as popular as ever, and dealers and
manufacturers declare that the making
of valentines has never been such
recognized industry as it is to-day.
We are not limited to,the old-fashioned
lace valentine such as your grandmother
can show you in it's mbossed and yell
lowed envelope, although you may buy
exactly such an one, for the call for this
style never seems to grow less.

1t is not the scent meant,
But the heart to you SENT
Another called the "Queen of Hearts,"
has only two leaves. 1t is shaped like

When you depart
lis twilight there"
If you are an artist take simply sheet
of fair, heavy cream-laid note paper and
illustrate the above quatrain; in the
upper portion of the page paint sunrise
with two figures watching it, hand
clasped in hand; on the lower part of the
page, a cloudy, twilight sky with here
and there star and but one figure gazing
upward, that of the disconsolate lover.
Write the verse between the two. On
the second page write the second verse;
"Then love unbars
The door Of dreams for me
And hts the stars
OF memory "
Below this sketch shadowy door with
the little god of love in the act of unbar-
ring it. In the foreground a rapturous,
ardent kneeling Romeo notes the process
of unclasping
So long as Shelley, Robert Herrick and
Lowelrs love poems live, swains may tell
their love in words glowing or tender as
best BELTS their moods.

again tell or listen to the old, old story"
because of the dead love that lies buried
IN your heart; then remember the chill

up as when they receive a valentine
though it be only from mamma or papa or
Bridget.
If there is "shut-in" among your circle
