in differnt parts of the room in incOn-
ceivable places: but visible" Of
course, as children say. Now the hunt
commences and the fun of the game
consists in matching the right pieces,
for they should all be torn at the
same angle with merely variation in
the notches. This constitutes choice
of valentine for the whole even
ing. and the cavalier is expected TO
wait upon his lady and execute all her
commands
Every lady and every gentleman is
given a valentine upon which they
both write the names of their cavalier
or lady. Any time during the evening
these valentine may be sent in this
way: Let an arrow made of card
board, covered with gilt paper with a
| Worsted-needle securely fastened to
the point, be suspended from the chan
deller, and the one who sends val
entine to his lady must stick it on the
end of the arrow. This is Cupids ar
row and Love will do the rest" al
though each guest may look to see for
whom the valentine is meant. This
is carried on through the evening in a
semi-surreptitious manner.
Another pretty feature may now be
introduced. Give to each guest a heart
with the half of quotation on it, as
for example: Maid of Athens ere We
part" A, beginning reads his quota
ton; if he can guess corresponding
line Tin this case Give, oh. give me,
back my hearth he may keep the quo
tation; if not. the one next to him
guesses, and so on. The one who re-
spends with the right line receives the
heart Let the quotations be familiar
and of a sentimental nature.
Refreshments will now be in order.
If they are to be light place tissue
paper heart the size of the plate under
the cup of chocolate and little cakes
If of a more elaborate nature, many
pretty suggestions may BE- cleaned from
the dainty trifies displayed at the CON
fectoner's.
After the refreshments post
office would be jolly Between fold
ing doors if possible hang two lace
curtains. This can be arranged while
the guests are at supper Make it as
much like lace valentine as possible;
decorate the curtains with artificial
tissue-paper flowers, knots of ribbon,

will find that several cents postage is
due, and he will be obliged to pledge
himself to give her flower, a compli-
ment, a favor. a box of candy or any
trihe within reasonable bounds. The
postmistress has the right to refuse
any pledge which she does not wish TO
accept. Those participating in the fun
may also pass by the window to ask IL
letters have come and sometimes the
requests may be refused and at times
gratifed. For this the hostess would
provide two dozen envelopes sealel
and addressed.
A little cotton batting and sachet
powder inside add to the charm OF
these letters.
If through noting down these few
suggestions | have added to the happi-
ness and enjoyment of others
should be glad to hear from those who
have made a success Of this St Va1pn.

Alaskan Gold Fields.
Expert Cabell Whitehead
Tells About More Gold.

Washington. Oct 5-Csbell
Whitehead assayer of the mint and at
present acting as expert special agent
of the mint bureau at Nome City,
Alaska. in a report dated Sept 3, 10
George E Roberts. director of the
mint. says that the Nome beach has
been worked out practically and that
some of the sluices have not paid
expenses The entire beach pro
duct of the year is estimated at from
$3.50 900 to 100000 Much of the
gold dust in circulation IN Nome.
MIR Whitehead says, comes from
Dawson. Anvil creek, which has
been the greatest producer up to this
time. and which gives promise of
yielding good returns for some time
to come. has produced this year
about $3.50 600
"Of the new discoveries since last
season." says Mr. Whitehead.
"Topkaku, located on the beach, 60
miles east of here, easily takes the
lead From space not over 500
feet in length, along the beach to the
tundra, there was taken out this
spring between $500,OO and 5000,
600, all with rockers
The latest strike, and one which
is at present attracting most a,ten.
tion, is on the Bluestone river. in the
Port Clarence mining district, some.
thing less than a hundred miles from
Nome The gold run is said to ex-
ceed in richness anything known
heretofore, it being no uncommon
thing to get from $40 to $40 in q
single pan. The creek is entirely
taken up
"A source OF gold which is attract.
ing much attention at the present
time is the ancient river along the
head of Dexter and Anvil creeks
Some of these deposits are fabulous.
ly rich, nothing richer having been
found 10 the Klondike. am told,
than one of the claims along the
Nickksla gulch The exten, of these
deposits, however, has not been
proven and another season will be
necessary to demonstrate their value
"My estimate Of the production up
to this time is 81 500 600 with the
chance OF increasing this production
before the end of the season to 50,
600, 900"
