TennysOn's "IdyIls of the King"
containing the story of Guinevere;
Paul and Virginia" The Letters of
Heloise and AbeGard" and "Eyange-
line" are suggested. Among appro-
pirate pictures may be mentioned the
common but veI-pleasing study Of
"Margherite; the pretty Puritan pic
ture, why Don't You Speak for Your
self, john and equally suggestive of
the festival of love, THE Chilly
Cupids," showing two cupids shivering
over a fire of faggOts in a November
wood. The consolation prize may be
candy heart, gayly decorated.
Another pleasant pastime for st.
Valentines night is a game of minia-
ture archery, with a floral heart for
the target. The heart, built from deep
crimson carnations, may form a part
Of the decorations. When the game
opens single white blossom is placed
in the center of the heart for a bulls
eye. This fragrant target is hung
from the center chandelier and for the
game each guest is in turn supplied
with a small bow and arrow and given
an opportunity to carry off the Grim
son heart as a reward for hitting the
white blossom. Suspend the target
by ribbons to a point at least two feet
from the chandelier, as the first shots
are apt to go wide of the mark and
endanger the globes above. Very
light arrows should be used.-Wash-
