81. Valentine
Still Reians

AS hale and hearty as ever Is old
st. Valentines day.
Who has not in a moment of ennui
glanced into the windows of the shops
and stores on a Valentine day and
sighed, thinking the time long passed
when these tokens were at the height
of popularity? Talk with the dealer a
few minutes and you will soon see that
even if you have ceased to take inter-
est in the day the young generation is
just as Zealously concerned as you
ever were.
1t seems that the valentine inventors
have nearly reached the limit of their
ingenuity. At any rate the display
windows and counters this year afford
ed no strikingly new, novel effects.
They were mostly the same old lace
and celluloid affairs, heads, hearts,
flowers. birds and miniature repre-
senatiOns of noted paintings. When it
came to the finest of silk, satin and
lace in artful combinations, then you
paid as high as $3.50 for your valentine.
Some of the dealers had enough con-
fidence in the community to stock up
pretty well on articles of this class and
the fact that there was any sale of
them at all indicates that the senti-
ment of the day is still thriving.
1t is not frequently that youth has
the heart to deposit six dollars in a
valentine, though so far as the money
is concerned it is not so hard to find
plenty of men who can flash gOodly
sums. The ordinary run of young
man of the mellow age is quite willing
to spend from fifty cents to $3.50 for
one of these tokens. 1t is of this trade
that the stores are principally busted
though the. school children flock like
birds around the tables on which are
stored the valentines which bring all
sums from one cent to twenty-five and
keep their pennies and nickels flying.
AS for the older folks, they have

practice pretty faithfully followed in
seasons past. 1t has not yet found
favor in Lincoln. The sale of friend
ship hearts is about the same all the
year round and there was not the
slightest leap of trade i'm this or kin

say, this is the dullest time of year
and that anyhow there are only three
or four days in the fall and winter and
spring season when people make it an
especial point to promenade into their
stores for gift articles.
AS an average, the valentine days
did not show a slump in the trade COM
pared with the previous season. Some
dealers claim they had less trade and
lay the blame to bad retail conditions
generally, saying that the responsible
ity lies in the sparse crop of corn
harvested and in the prevalence of
smallpox which has kept many people
from the city who might otherwise
have been here. Others say that their
business has been larger and the class
of 1t better than ever before. Truly
the windows We're as we'll filled as ever
with the choicest of valentine art, the
comics were as colorful and scandalous
as ever and the pOstmen as weariIy
laden.

attentions and win away their money.
They are either married or about to,
or else are confirmed celibates. That
being the case they buy only to send
to expecting children or little friends
whom they know will be more than
delighted to be remembered. Yes, and
they do think considerably of the
comics. Surely among their acquaint-
ances there are some whose foibles can
be exploited and made subject of jibe
vestments in these amount to n good
deal Far cheaper than the fancy
article, the amount of money put into
them is fairly equal to that bestowed
upon the costly valentines. One man
estimated the Lincoln trade i'm valen-
tines altogether last week as nothing
short of $4,000, and others, though they
could not say with any assurance of
definiteness. thought that it was much
more than this.
There Is no house in Lincoln which
makes a speciality of jobbing in valen-
tines during their season though two
or three of the largest dealers attend
to a little wholesale business on the
side for the accommodation of the
more remote shops and stores. The
rule is that agents of the valentine
houses journey out to the various
towns several months ahead of the
valentine season, taking orders. Within
a couple of weeks of the fateful day
the dealers begin to put their pur-
chases on display. The people take a
slow, gradually increasing interest in
them, struggling buyers coming to. the
front at first, until, within four days of
the Fourteenth, it comes time to hire
ments and rush ensues until the final
day.
Those who have thought, upon look
ing into the windows of the stores the
day after, scanning the apparently
undiminished stock of valentines, that
but few We're sold are not reckoning
with the host. The valentines on dis
play after the last day of the season
are but a small percentage of the
stock with which the dealers started
out. Suppose all their stock were
placed in view on the start, With all

woven fabric in blue-a dull, odd
shade, which reminds one of the blue
peasants costumes in the pictures of
Breton and Dutch humble folk the
painters send from abroad; also in

For some time past the male con-
dor at the London Zoo has been wild
owed of his mate, who departed this
life at an advanced age, says the
Westminster Gazette. A new lady
condor has just arrived to take her
place. The pair together form really
one of the finest exhibits at those gar
dens; their large size and the per-
fectly white ruff. which is literally q
feather boa, surrounding the neck.
give to this bird very distinguished
appearance. The condor has also the
additional distinction of being the
largest of living flying birds, and, like
Rome, seems to have been built al
most for eternity. The condor lives for
a very long time. 1t charms the ex-
pert ornithologist on account of the
paradox that 1t has put on the garb
of the vulture but is not actually very
nearly related to those birds of prey.
