Valentines In Verse.


To test the wits of her company the
hostess distributes pencils and paper
among her guests, offering prize for
the best valentine sentiment written
by lady or gentleman in the room.
The sentiment must be embodied in
verse. 1t may be addressed to any
person present or simply dedicated to
My Valentine. Half an hour Is al.
lotted for the task. The poem must
not be less than ten nor more than
twenty lines in length. The hostess
judges all compositions without
knowing by whom they were produc-
ed. A book of the worlds best poetry
makes an attractive prize.
Another way is to have each man
In the party write a valentine, which
ne addresses to some girl present
and vice versa. All compositions are
read aloud by the hostess, the name
of the person to whom each is ad.
dressed being given, but the name Of
the author withheld. Each man or
woman to whom a valentine is dedi.
Gated In this game may have copy
Of the verses made from the hostess
dictation, but in no case is the original
shown, as the handwriting might re.
veal the secret Of the authorship.
