Is tempted to ask, When reviewing the
weeks sociabilities, If there can pos
sibly be any connection between st.
Valentines day and the number Of
leap year parties participated in; the
interest at which affairs conferred round
The usual "postoffice," love-making be-
ing thus made comparatively easy for
Inexperienced maidens. These same
postoffices did q thriving business,
whether at church socials or at private
parties, and many pretty novelties in
The Valentine line passed through
them.
It is rather curious to note the clever
way In which the art dealers, who
do not carry ordinary comic valentines,
have catered to that class of patrons
whose delight lies in sending valentines
Of that nature.
There were funny little japanese fig
ures standing upon squares Of card
board bearing the words, eff you smile
on every man you see you'll be picked
before you're twenty-three." Another
sad-looking youth from Japan offers
"$1, 900 for a kiss" Still another bore
the significant words, ga broken match"
At the feet of an offended appearing
couple, in unique Japanese costume,
Jay the match" broken quite In two.
At many Of the card parties valentines
were used as score cards, and they fig
ured extensively as favors at the brill
liant cotillion given by Mrs.D.R. Noyes
Monday evening at Lifts hall in compli-
ment of Miss Whitney.
Some Of the very loveliest tokens Of
the day, sent and received, were sim
pie clusters Of white or purple violets,
whose fragrant little faces were beau
hful reminders that Lent is close at
hand, and that after Easter day one
may safely begin to indulge in thoughts
Of spring and the sweet-faced field
giolets which grow in such profusion
about the Twin Cities.
