A VALENTINE PARTY.
Some Novel IdeaG That Will Prove Enter.
tanning.

If you are gcing to have valentine
party, here are few hints which may en-
liven the evening: You can go in for deco
rations as deeply as you choose and find
plenty Of appropriate symbols that will
suggest the sentiment Of the holiday. A
flying Cupid with bandaged eyes may be
suspended from the chandelier.
Roses Of deep red, loves own color, may
be distributed around rs freely as you
choose or as your purse will allow. Drape
the mantel with smilax, caught up with
red ribbons tied in truo lovers knots.
Pastsboar6 hearts pierced by gilt arrows
can be bought or manufactured at home,
and form most attractive decorations. A
pair or two Of turtle doves should not be
forgotten, for they add much to the gen.
eral effect.
In pairing off your guests for the even
ing you can manage to have q lot OF fun.
One method which is sure to put every
one in good humor and break down all the
barriers Of formality Is as follows:
Hang sheet in doorway between two
rooms. With charcoal or ink draw gro.
tesuue face on cne side and cut holes fol
eyes. Let the ladies 60 into the room be-
hind the curtain while the gentlemen re-
main in the other. Then let the ladies
each stand behind the face on the curtain
and look through the apertures. The men
are then allowed each a chance of guess
ing who is the owner of the eyes which are
peering through at them. The guessers
whisper the name to the unknown fail
one, and if it is right, she retires and he
has found his partner for the game OF
hearts which follows. If not, the lady
winks saucily, and he must try his luck
another time. Underneath the face you
may write something like this:
I'm looking at you, love,
With eyes that are true. love.
If you guess these eyes are mine,
will be your Valentine.
Another novel way of mating your
guests Is to got as many card valentine:
as you Lave guests. Havo them in dupli
cate pairs, and put each in an envelope
one of q pair In an envelope for gentle
man, the other in one for lady. AS the
guests arrive hand each an envelope ano

ST. VALENTINES DAY.
How 1t Used to BE Celebrated AMI How
1t Is Now.

How 1t Used to BE Celebrated AMI How
1t Is Now.
When we were children, st. Valentine's s
day ranked with Christmas and Fourth of
July in much anticipated pleasure and in
the simple delights that were attendant
upon tho coming Of the lovers saint The
little girl who did not have at least half
dozen valentines to show was considered
very unpopular indeed, and so strong was
this feeling that parents fearing lost the
youths of the neighborhood might not. be
blessed with sufficient money to favor ev-
cry little girl and knowing what disap-
pointment the absence Of the postman's g
knock would mean to their small daugh-
ters, would prowl out the night before and
buy up paper hearts and gay little Cupids
presiding over verses that brcathed OF love
and darts rhyming with dove and hearts,
The elder ones regarded the sentimental
side of the affair only and did not mind If
but one missive were received, provided 1t
was from the one, fact which was gener-
ally speedily discovered, despite the dis
guised handwriting and other mysteries
attached to the delivery Of it. ToGay the
hideously ugly penny dreadfuls and the
paper stage scenes have given place to
moro substantial offerings, and the day Is
celebrated in quite different manner.
Now large and beautiful boxes, filled
with bonbons and tied with ribbon on
which some sentiment appropriate to the
day is painted, arc the gifts generally ex-
changed A candy Cupid presiding over
q bouquet of lovely blossoms, or sprays Of
flowers tumbling in artistic disorder from
a silver or gold heart or quiyer and ar
rows of tiny buds, arc all the up 20 date
gifts of the modern valentino.
In the country the lads and lasses used
to hang baskets of carly spring blossoms
on each others doorbells, or If winter had
fingered until the day Of the mating Of
birds paper flowers were substituted. To-
day they give valentine, luncheon or
party, and the tables take the shape OF
hearts, the candle shades become opening
roses, and little pink Cupid bearing its
own valentine is the souvenir for the
guests.
The simpler forms Of entertaining and
celebrating on every occasion have given
way 10 the more extravagant and the more
artistic modes, and in nothing Is this more
noticeable than in the evolution Of the
valentine and the gayeties that mark the
day of which it is the leading feature.

THE SCoRCHER-BOUND TO BE POPULAR
eous faces of tho "comics, but he is an
adopt in painting pink Cupids, red hearts
always arrow pierced-and dainty forget
menots, lilies of the valley and other flo
raj decorations.
Artist Edgars is a man Of about 30, but
for Ii years he has been doing this sort Of
work. Consequently he has attained Won
derful dcxtority with tho brush. Ho can
take plain piece of cardboard or cellu-
loid, and with a few dabs of his brush
make it blossom like fairy garden. He
takes dainty satin covered card, spreads
the colors around on 1t recklessly for
minute, and, behold he has produced
something to delight the heart of some
pretty maiden.
In some respects Mr.. Edgars is to be en-
We'd He has more facilities for "getting
even" than any other man on earth. When
tho average man is insulted by an inso-
lent street car conductor, snubbed by q
saucy dry goods clerk or imposed upon by
butcher, baker or candlestick maker, he
can only address little feeting, eyanes-
cent profanity at the individual offender.
Not so Mr.. Edgars. He just keeps quiet,
smiles in bland, self satisfied way, goes
to his den and draws picture Of the man
or woman, and has q few hundred thou
sand Of them struck off. Thus does he
wreak his vengeance not on one person
alone but on all of that kidney. If he Is
angry, he can, by few strokes of his
brush, insult about 100000 total stran-
gers What czar or sultan could do moreP
And Mr.. Rignoy helps him out. He
takes the nightmare sketches and writes
verses for them-verses which tip the ar
row with gall and wormwood, which
make tho victim rant and tear and say
things.
But there is compensating side to all
this There are 100000 souls Of us in
Uncle Sans domain, and we probably all
know at least half dozen persons on
whom We would like to indict q comic.

The Branded Slave of Jesus.

AT the close of his Epistle to the
Galatians Paul says: "Henceforth let
no man trouble me, for l bear IN my
body the marks of the Lord Jesus
Christ" What does this mean? Let
me translate it for the reader more llt-
orally: "For 1 bear in my body the
brand of my master, Jesus Christ -
The word "k yrios," rightly translated
"Lord,n means in this connection the
legal owner or possessor-the husband
of the wife, the father OF the child, the
patron of his freedmen.
"Stigmata" is the common word Tor
the brand, or mark, with which mas
ters mark slaves, especially those who
had run away, or showed signs of so
doing. But there is much more 10 De
said than this. In the very numerous
records-on fragments of marble-of
manumissions found at Delphi and at
other shrines in Greece, we nave
learned the legal process by which a
slave gained his own liberty. He dld
not bring his master his earnings, and
obtain his freedom with his receipt for
the money. He went to the temple OF
lne ROu, anu tueiC PaiN NO '.Aoe1 "
the priests, they then with this money
bought the slave from his master on the
part of the god. He became for
the rest of his life slave to the
god, which meant practically free
dom subject to certain peridlcal rell-
gious duties. If at any future time
lis master or his masters heirs re-
claimed him, he had the record OF the
transaction in the temple.
But on one point these documents
are silent. If he travelled, if he were
far from home, and was seized as a
runaway slave, what security coulo ne
have? 1 believe that Saint Paul gives
us the solution. When liberated at
the temple the priest, if he desired it,
branded him with the "stigmata" OF
his new master, Apollo. Now Saint
Paups words acquire new and strlk-
ing application. He had been the
slave of sin but he had been purchased
bv Christ, and his new liberty con-
sisted in his being the slave of Christ.
Henceforth, he says, let no man at
tempt to reclaim me; / have been
marked on my body with the brand OF
NV new master, Jesus Christ. Proba-
bly he referred to the many scars he
bore of his prosecutions.
