The Story Of the Day
And Suggestions for Its Proper Observance

History says that st. Valentine was
beLeaded by Emperor Claudius be.
cause the young people were so fond
of him. He had great power in max.
ing love affairs run smoothly and in
Strengthening out quarrels. When he
was overcome with misfortune the
young mourned him and met
secretly each year to pay
homage to his memory. On
these occasions they presented
each other with little tokens which
they called st. Valentine offerings,
and from this the custom of celebrat-
ing February IA has reached its pres
ent popularity.
q A clever entertainment for this day
can be carried out as follows: Tiny
pink tinted bristol board hearts are
prepared by the hostess, four or five
inches across the widest part; upon
these write suitable quotations, among
which the following will be found ap:
propriate:
- Love always looks for love again.
III ever single, 1t Is twain.
And till 1t finds its counterpart
1t bears about an aching heart"
"They have oerlooked me and divided
me;
One half Of me is yours the other half
yours,
And SO all yours"
"Tell me, now last, what love will do;
Twill hurt and heal a heart pierced
2 through;
If you love me as love you,
No knife can cut our love in two"
With a lead pencil draw zigzag lines
down the center Of each heart from
top to bottom through the inscription
and with sharp scissors cut intostwo
parts, following the marking. No two
hearts should be cut alike, as this
would confuse the quotations Punch
a hole near the top Of each section
and distribute the right hand sections
to the men and the others to the
women. The men then begin their
search to match their hearts and |
much merriment ensues The first |
heart matched is Joined by pink rib
bon, the others are tied with blue.
The reunited hearts become souvenirs,
which the gallant men present to their
mates In this manner the supper
guests can find the partner with whom
each is to be seated j
The table decorations can ue as
elaborate as good taste and ones
finances will allow.

Most Appropriate pay.

Feb. IA Is the most appropriate day
in all the year on which to announce
nuptial engagement, and cleva- hos
tesses are conceiving odd and novel
ways in which to convey the news to
ones most intimate friends.
One dainty way Is to present each
invited guest-as they enter the room
with a long stemmed flower, rose
or carnation, to which Is attached, by
a. green or pink ribbon, a little enye-
lope containing pink heart on which
the engagement Is written.
Another clever arrangement is to
secure unmounted photographs of the
couple and cut the background from
the heads. These are mounted on
pink or green cards so as to appear
as though growing from large scar
let heart. A photographer friend of
the couple can secure pictures that
will answer every purpose, and some
clever poses can be secured.
The clever hostess finds plenty Of
scope for her talents in various ways
for her st. Valentines patty, II she
can compose jingles, she may write
verse for each guest, to apply espe
cially. A caution should be observed
in such event, however, that nothing
in the least. calculated to hurt the
