GRANDMA'S
VALENTINE,
(By Georgia Custis.l


'Tbe postman! the postman!" cried
Dorothy. dancing excitedly about the
nursery. He is coming here; I hear
his whistle! Oh, nurse! please may I
go down and see If he has brought any
valentines?"
Not with your cold, dearie," said
nurse. shaking her head, and so Doro-
thy had to be content with peering
over the stairs, while Donald clattered
down and came back again with his
hands full Of envelopes, large and
small.
One, free, six for mel" he painted,
land one. free, seven for Dorothy"
And how happy the children were as
they tore open the envelopes and ex-
planned the pretty cards and verses
which they contained. And then Sis
ter Nell came in to show them her val
entine, great bunch of beautiful roses
and when Dorothy asked her if she
could guess who had sent them (for
guessing il half the fun on st. valen-
tines day), she grew quite red, and
said, why, no; of course she couldn't;
how could she?"
And just then dear grandma came in
to see what the children were making
such racket about. And, of course,
they showed her their valentines and
Nell pinned one of her most beautiful
roses on grandma's black dress; and
then, quite Unexpectedly, Dorothy
looked up into the sweet, placid old
face, and asked gravely: Grandma.
did you ever get valentine?"
Grandma did not reply for a moment
and then she stopped and kissed Doro-
thy on the forehead, and something
very bright and glistening fell among
the brown curls Yes, DEAR" said
grandma, softly, lots of them; but
had one which think 1 must tell you
about some time"
"Oh! tell us nowv' cried all the chill

derdonk"
She handed the envelope to Nell
who, almost reverently drew forth
the valentine. 1t was playing-card,
the Queen OF Hearts, and over the back
had been neatly pasted sheet Of
white paper, on which were written
the following lines:
MY Kate is surely Queen of Hearts,
And will swear she's queen Of
NINE
Let's play a game where Love is
trumps;
Sweet Kate will be my valentine?"
The children all declared the poetry
to be very beautiful.
But, grandma" cried Donald and
Dorothy together. what is that queer
round hole right through the middle
of the card?'
Sure enough, there was a hole,
which had pierced card and envelope
