most any stationery store, of doves

lovers, as Benedick and Beatrice,

OF course, the favors should be
heart-snaped, and the cakes and ices;
so far as possible the dishes may be
also in the shape of hearts. A heart
shaped table is very effective, and the
ribbons from the chandelier may be
fastened by small hearts of roses.
Pink and white are the colors to be
chosen and the lights may be in sill

should be something in silver heart

orange buds; the others are tied with
white satin ribbons, but no flowers.

of buttons, or a little work basket, as
he will have to learn the use Of them
in his bachelorhood,
Another game appropriate to the
day is Broken Hearts" Cut out CT
red cardboard as many hearts, about
six inches across, as you will have
pairs of guests. Then, with sharp
shears, cut each Of these into many
small pieces, square, crescent shaped,
wedge shaped, and so on, keeping the
pieces of each heart separate from
the others by putting them into an
envelope.
Now, from different colored papers
cut small hearts, two Of each, and put
them into two bowls. The players
then select one each, the girls from
one bowl, the boys from another, and
the boys then find their partners in
the girls who have hearts matching
in color those they have selected.
The envelopes are then distributed,
one to each couple, and they must
try to put the pieces together to form
perfect heart. The two who first
do this stand up and are crowned with
red roses made of paper, as this was
classic honor bestowed upon Cupid,
the god of love. If you prefer, the girl
may be crowned with roses and the
boy with a laurel wreath.
This diversion is especially good
fun. Get sheet of heavy cardboard,
twenty-five or thirty inches square,
and draw on it as large heart as
you can. Then cut the heart out
and cover it with white muslin to
strengthen it; it may also be braced
at the back by strips of wood.
Around the edge Of the heart paint
a border in green, about three inches
wide, which of course, gives you the
outlines of a green heart. Inside this
paint black heart of the same width,
and again third in yellow, fourth
in blue, a fifth in red, and in the cen
ter bull's-eye of gold paint, leaving
a space of white implanted.

search for the hearts, and the one
who finds the greatest number of pa
per ones, which are the real counters
in the game, wins the first prize.
The first prize should be something
in the form of heart, say a photo
graph holder, a charm, a locket, or a
bonbonniere. Some of the hearts
should be broken into two pieces if
candy ones, or torn if paper, and spe-
cial prizes offered to those who find
the pieces that fit together.
The player who finds most hearts
is supposed to be the one who will
first be married. To the one who
finds least, a consolation prize should
be given. If girl, suitable prize
would be a tea cup and saucer, or a
worsted kitten, as she is destined to
be an "old maid" A suitable conso-

You will meet your fate tonight.
All alone your years will mellow.
Should your arrow meet the Yellow.
If the dart go wide astray,
You will throw your heart away.

If you have Valentine day party

A very pretty way to send your

and pink roses for the girls, for pink
is the special color of the god of love.

names of some famous lovers of his

with the names of men to the carna-

women to the roses Such names
should be selected as Romeo and

History says that st. Valentine was
beheaded 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.
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;
If ever single, it is twain.
And till it finds it's counterpart
It bears about an aching heart
"They have o'erlooked me and divided
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
through;
IF you love me as love you,
No knife can cut our love in two"
With lead pencil draw zigzag lines
down the center Of each heart from
top to bottom Though the inscription
and with sharp scissors cut into two
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.
The table decorations can be as
elaborate as good taste and ones
finances will allow.
