Valentines and
Valentine FaVOrs.

mGEBRUARY I4tf, St. Valen-
HI tines Day, according to an
eOD old legend, was the day upon
which birds choose their
mates, and from this was evolved
Valentines, or tokens of endear-
ment sent (from one to another)
amongst loving couples. Year after
year the practice has grown, and
the missives have developed into
thousands of pretty and unique
forms with appropriate verses
some being hand-painted and really
works of art.
This year Cupid sends his mes
sages in every style and form inn
aginable-dainty cards in heart and
other shapes, novelties from abroad,
lace valentines for little tots-copy-
right platinum pictures mounted on
folders and in frames. The last is
a particularly new idea; and hosts
of others too numerous to mention.
Our nth street windows will
give some idea of our immense dis
play.

he was in cordial sympathy with the move
ment started for the preservat ton OF the
falls. and would do all he could to pro-
mote 1t. He referred to the discussion OF

she is president take up the matter with
the New York members of Congress ana
urge them to introduce and press meas

s. KineIess'' Potato Held raud.

A special to the Recoru-nerald says
that fraud order has been issued
against the Vineless FoIato Company
OF Pullman, LII. Inc company advert
used to sell territory or individual
rights for a vineless potato, which
would grow in bins above ground in|
sixty days. After investigations BY
tne departments of Agriculture, just
tice and Postoffice, the fraud ordel
was issued and w. D. Darst, discoyl
erer OF the wonderful process, will be
excluded from the use of the mails
He proposed in reply to INQUIRIES pro-|
soked by his advertisement to license
i LOT szo any Individual to grow vinel
less potatoes, and said that for S1Od
ne would sell unlimited territory. ia
also onered "potatine" at $3.50 a pack
age. Because his "potatine" was
merely sulphate of potash, worth al
cents, and his vineless potatoes worth
less commercially, the order was
issued.

A NEW UNDERGARMENr

nearly to the shoulder over the fore
arm, where they are loosely tied with
a succession of ribbon bows. In lin
gerie garments the square neck is
preferred to the round this year, and
this is always finished with band of
lace or embroidery.
The empire form is, of course, very
fashionable for chemises, but, while
it is pretty cut, it needs to be made
Of very fine material else it's straight
form will lie in folds beneath the cor
set. Most chemises nowadays are
shaped in under the arms so as to do
away with this extra width at the
waist-line. A pretty finishing to take
the place Of sleeves and shoulder parts
on a garment to be worn with decol-
lette dress, consists of ribbons which
tie on the shoulders and may be un-
tied and slipped beneath the bodice
when worn with the evening gown.
The Japanese nightgown of quite
loose cut is a decided novelty. This
has rows of little tucks descending
from the shoulder and extending half
way down the figure. A double band
of insertion starts at the foot of the
gown, passes by the side of the tucks
over the right shoulder and around
the neck at the back, meeting in the
centre of the front at the waistline.
The sleeves are loose and flowing as
BELTS garment of this nature. Few
nightdresses have collars, most Of
them being finished with straight
bands of embroidery or lace.
CHARMING DRESSING SACKS.
Some very jaunty little dressing
sacks of silky batiste or nainsook are
being constructed. These are entire
ly ACCORDION pleated, except for por-
tion of the sleeve. Lace and insertion
surround the throat, and for those of
Empire cut, band of the same marks
the high waistline in back and in
front rises over the bust to be fastened
with ribbons. Some of these lingerie
tea jackets have broad and elaborate
collars which reach over the should
ers.
Another new conner is the blouse
waistcoat of embroidered linen, batiste
or mousseline de sole. This is made
without sleeves and drawn in about
the waist with tape to adjust the full
ness in front. These are designed to
be worn with lingerie suits of which
long or short jacket forms part
Lingerie petticoats are of increasing
daintiness. They are for the most part
deliberately trimmed, the top portion
being of sheath-like cut and fitting
without a bit of fulness. They are
completed with broad f1ounces of
tucks, embroidery and lace. Some of
these flounces show several frillings
of lace or embroidery. while others
are elaborate with hand-embroidered
designs.

SOME NEW PARTISAN LINGERIE.
Colors in Blouses Very Fashionable,
Especially the Delicate Tints.
BERTHA BROWNING.

In the new Paris lingerie, the
fashion is to have sets of chemise,
drawers and short petticoat of the
same material and type, and all
trimmed in the same manner. Main
sock and very fine batiste are the ma
terials usually employed for their con-
struction, the mode of silk underwear
being for the time abandoned. There
are two new fabrics called silk MAIN
sock and silk chiffon, both cotton, but
OF very fine weave, and which do not
lose their glossy appearance in wash
ing. These materials have much the
appearance of silk and in garments
made of them lace is profusely used.
The lace composes much of the upper
portion of the chemise and the sleeves
which are of bell shape reaching al
most to the elbow. These are open
