VALENTINES.

Lacy Effects And Old Time Comics.
valentines is the sign seen now in
the windows OF book stores. indicating a
readiness of the proprietors to cater to
the taste OF those who observe the season
of February IA. There are some new de-
signs and many Improvements and ad-
ditions to designs OF former years. but the
popular standby is the lace valentine.
II is said that many purchasers do not
consider it properly valentine unless the
offering is built up of filmy lace paper.
layer upon layer, in heart shape or with
a heart somewhere about il, and, of
course, containing verse or verses
breathing the spirit of love.
One of the newest designs is a patriotic
one-an American flag on an easel val
entine. surrounded by blue field studded
with gilt stars. The flag is in colors. OF
the combinations of celluloid there are
the familiar designs OF banjos, guitars
and other musical instruments, most OF
them combined with torchon lace pat
terms in paper. Cards are in q myriad Of
sizes and designs. some being simple
ones with Japanese figures, embossed or
otherwise. and each bearing an appro-
pirate verse. Others have sachets. Civ
ing them sweet scent as well as low
ing sentiment.
The old-time comic valentines. with
their sometimes sharply pointed verses
and cartoons in caricature. have been
improved by series Of Don't" comic
valentines. These are appropriately
illustrated and bear such advice as this;
Don't get q swelled head" "Don'l
wait up for your husband" Don't be
a public hog" Don't lie to your wife.
"Don't borrow money from your friends
Don't fiir." Don't be afraid oi
