Suggestion for St. Valentine Ever;nr

Although ST. Valentine day is still a
fortnight away, the hostess who would
entertain on that day devoted to lovers
must arrange her programme early. A
81. valentine entertainment should be
pretty affair-all rose colored and
symbolic of love tokens and Cunids
The most successful one that I ever
attended was where there was not one
kind of entertainment alone. but a
number, each appropriate and sugges-
tive OF the date. One of the most
amusing was a heart hunt Several
hundred tiny paper hearts had been
scattered all over the house, and we
each had to hunt for them in every
nook and corner possible, and occa-
slonally we came across a candy heart
or a peppermint heart or one made of
chocolate. These were trophies. in
deed, and their own reward, for the
prizes at the end of the hunt were
awarded only to the one who had found
the most of the small paper hearts. But
especial prizes were given to anyone
who had found both parts of a divided
heart. A number of halves were con-
cealed, and yet not one of us found
two parts that fitted together. After
the hunt came a contest Of shooting
with arrows at target heart. The
souvenirs of this contest were the pref.
ty individual bows and arrows. Sup
per came after this, and it was an at
tract1ve feast. There were sandwiches
tied with rose bows, and others cut

1t behooves him to be faithful. The Ro-

and friends of the Tilted maiden wait
upon the inconstant lover. argue with
him, plead with him. Then, if he still re-

who is also the economical woman, is
too wise to select her precious new
spring bonnet so early in the year as
Easter Sunday. even though that
Easter falls, as it does this year, on
so late date as April II.
Capricious even in the Southern
states, April in the North is positively
hysterical. One never knows when
she is going to turn from laughter to
tears, or from tears back again to
laughter, and even her heartiest laugh
ter has a touch of frost.
1t is not surprising that Easter is
closely associated with spring bonnets.
for ''the Lady Moon" herself fixes
yesterday, and one cannot conceive of
even a celestial femininity not being
interested in bonnets. The first SUN
day after the first full moon after the
21st of March is Easter Sunday. BY
this arrangement Easter may come as
early as March % or as late as April
25.
Since Easter falls on April II, Ash
Wednesday this year falls on March 4.
Lent is to be especially fashionable this
year. That does not mean that the
penitential season is to be a season of

PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.

with which many of the new and sty-
1ish gowns are trimmed is a heavy
Cluny in old conventional wheel de-
signs and wide insertions. Sometimes
the material beneath is cut away,
while many prefer it left uncut.
The fancy for white runs from the
satin slippers to the hat of the fash

white textures are built into gowns,
coats, hats and accessories.
Among the little things that add so
much to dress, tassels and cords of
every sort are seen, lacing, confirming
and dangling from modish gowns,
coats and even hats, or wherever it is
possible to use them for utility or

these cords and tassels on the newest
fur stcles. or on waists that are de-
signed with a jacket or vest effect.
