Hearts to Let.

A delightful valentine game called
Hearts to Let" is played somewhat
in the same way as going to Jerusa-
lem. or, as it is also called, Clap In
and Clap Out.
The chairs are placed back to back,
and each one is labeled with the
name of one of the young men OF the
company, there being exactly as many
chairs as there are young men pres
ent.
The girls are blindfolded before the
labelling is done. They march in line
around the chairs to the strains OF
some good old love song, and when
the music ceases sit down in any
chair which happens to be handy
OF course, when the bandages are
taken from the eyes there Is much
sport over the seats and the girls who
have chosen them. 1t is understood
for the occasion that fate guides each
maiden to choose the chair Of the
man whose personality she is most
taken with.
The mems turn comes next Here
of course, the chairs are labeled with
the names of the girls. The men
are blindfolded and march around the
seats, dropping into the nearest when
the piano ceases playing. This, OF
course, decides the important fact oi
which girl is preferred by the man.

REDEEM YOUR PAST FAILURES
Never Yet Has Man Fallen to Where
He Can Not Rise.

You may say that you have failed
too often that there is no use In try
Ing, that it is impossible for you to
succeed. and that you have fallen too
often even to attempt to get on your
feet again. Nonsense! There Is no
failure for a man whose spirit is I'M
conquered. No matter how late the
hour. or how many and repeated his
failures. success is still possible. The
evolution of Scrooge, the miser, in the
closing years of his life, from hard
narrow. heartless, money-grubber,
whose soul was imprisoned in his
shining heap of boarded gold, to a
generous genial lover of his kind, is no
mere myth of Dickens brain. Time
and again in the history Of our daily
lives, chronicled in our newspapers,
recorded in biographies, or exhibited
before our eyes we see men and wo-
men .redeeming past failures, rising
from out OF the stupor of discourage
ment. and boldly turning face for
ward once more.-O. s. Marden In
Success Magazine. s.

If you can get together company
with a fair share of wit, ingenuity and
facility for rhyming there is no great
3r amusement than valentine party.
A mail pouch may be improvised from
l pasteboard box, in the decoration OF
which considerable ingenuity may be
displayed. Hearts, darts and all such
sentimental symbols may be cut out
Of colored papers and applied to the
;urface, or If the artistic ability OF
the hostess or her family extends that
far, figures of Cupids can be added
with effect-the more grotesque the
better. Each guest should be notified.
With the invitation, that valentines are
expected to as many Of the other
guests as possible. Among those who
have passed the first flush of youth
these illusions will rather naturally
take the form of pointed and amusing
but good-humored skits on various
members of the party, especially
among those who have lived long on
terms of intimacy. Whatever form
the entertainment should take-dinner.

mating point of the entertainment Will

Up to that time Jip, whose knowl-

But Jip seized the lady in blue and

He could never send his lady them.

As many tiny valentines as there

ten children have come the hostess
counts out the children to choose a

his last paper sold, and darted up the

across the streets for several blocks,

halted, painting, and pressed his nose
against the glass of little store win

colored pictures, the stereotyped
comic valentines.
Ups pointed finger jabbed at the
window glass promptly, and located
the valentine he desired. He breathed
a great sigh Of joy and relief and
danced for happy moment.
