NOVELTIES IN VALENTINES
Mechanical contrivanees Indicate That
Lovs-Lcrn Are Keeping Pace
With tho AGE.

The local stores are exhibiting many
pretty valentines. and the indications
are that Wilmington's lovelorn will
ma plenty Of appropriate messages to
send TO their friends this year. one
local man, not so very long ago, was
looking over a supply Of valentines at
local store, and he carefully read
each motto, or inscription. Finally
he laid them all down in despair. com
planning that they were not strong
enough There won't anybody he
troubled in finding cards sufficiently
strong in their expressions Of senti-
ment this year.
Valentines have taken on. fresh
phase In their newest development,
they have adopted mechanical contri-
vances. which in many instances are
quite ingenious.
Product Of Inventive Aqe.
This is an inventive age. and such
lovers messages, Of necessity, must
march with the times and Undergo
progressive alterations and improve
ments. Before long. indeed. the va!-
entines o. yester-year will be. to all
intents and purposes. as much out OF
date as those of the early sixties.
Novelties, above all &hings. are in
demand; and. inasmuch as valentines
some time ago reached the efnaxinnum
of imaginable elaborateness and gor-
geousness, there was nothing possible
TO be added except mechanical de-
vices. The more ingenious these, the
better, Of course; and not a few Of
those prepared for the coming holiday
are really quite extraordinary.
Oddly enough, the most beautirtn
and elaborate valentines nowadays arc
not made in this country but are i'm
ported from Gernany-just like toys in
which children delight. This remark
especially applies TO the mechanical
ones In fact. it seems as though
Saint Valentine, like the good Christ
mas saint had Of late taken up his
permanent abode In the vaterland. The
Teutons are extremely ingenious at all
sorts Of contrivances in the way ~
playthings; so Il is not surprising that
they should have undertaken this new
line OF business.
