HOW CHILDREN MAY CELEBRATE.
The children, at least, will not allow
the festival of st. Valentine to fall into
disuse, but perhaps it would 90 no
harm II their elders, as well, should
little relax their cares on this day,
and consider the claims of Eros,
A few suggestions for the appropri-
ate celebration of the day may not
come amiss. st. Valentines tea, for
example, may be easily made very
charming little festivity. The guests
should consist of a few bright young
people, and the whole affair should be
conducted in a spirit of fun and in
formality. A sentimental quotation
should be written on the name card
at each plate, taking care that it has
some appropriateness to the guest. The
prevailing colors in flowers or other
table decorations should be white and
pink. All the dishes should be suit
able to the occasion, at least in name.

gestive couplet, to be read aloud by the
server.

quantity of white celery stalks. cut in
half-inch lengths. To one beaten egg
yolk and one teaspoonful French mus
tard, tablespoonful of salt, dash Of
cayenne, a gill of cream, and three
tablespoonfuls of sharp vinegar. Beat
well and pour over the salad. Garnieh
with celery tops. The verse for this
may be-
The eye that flashes, the lid that fut-
ters,
The fan fiirtations, the murmured
phrase,
How slight magic their meaning
utters
Beside lobster with mayonnaise."

roll these under the palms until they

Can you keep the bee from ranging?
Or the ring doves neck from chang

No, nor tickle love from dying,
In the knot there's no untying."

slant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled
orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise var
