Charm of Valentine Day,

II seems curious that whereas some
wise and useful customs are permitted
to die, one that is founded upou so
unsubstantal a thing as lace paper
and the kind of affection that lace
paper typifes should survive. And
who that helps to keep alive the val
entine habit Knows anything about its
origin. or can intelligently answer
Lambs questioning apostrOphe to ST.
Valentine: immortal Go-Between.
who and what manner Of person art
thou? Art thou but a name. typify-
ing the restless principle which imDels
poor humans to seek perfection in
union, or vert thou indeed a mortal
prelate with thy tippet and rochet, thy
apron on and decent lawn sleeves 2"
There is one phase of the valentine
festival, however, which is suffering
much to be desired decadence, and
that is the old form of the comic" +"
The comic spirit still survives, and
while its expression is not noteworthy
for subtle wit or graceful fancy. it
has lost its former vulgarity. A valen-
tine in the form of peach or a daisy
carries its own t1attering assurance
while an intimation that the recipient
is setting her cap is set forth in an
accompanying miniature bit of head
gear. Allusions to matchmaking are
accentuated by genuine parlor match
es, and the announcement that a send.
ers love is slow but sure is gracefully
emphasized by snail 1t will thus
be seen that valentine humor has not
yet reached its high water mark. but
it is enough to know that it has passed
the line of coarseness. Valentines
day has little meaning for elderly
hearts, but who would begrudge it's in
that are still young?

other commodities which the farm did
not yield. the coveted prize lay tan;a-
lizingly before my eyes. AS time went

adorned its center began to fade; fly
