Many among us who love the pic
turcsqueness of olden time customs,
rejoice in the continuance of st.
Valentines day. For the pretty val
entine idea has not declined with the
decadence of the old-fashioned paper
love token.
Valentines, hundreds of them, are
still sent every year. The message
they convey is i'm every way as senti-
menta! rs that of the cupids and
doves of a hundred years ago.
Almost anything pretty and fanci-
fUi makes an attractive offering for
the 1dth. Many such dainty tokens
can be manufactured at home. The
shops, too, suggest practically limitless
possibilities.
Many men who observe st. Valen-
tines day in this more advanced age
indulge their fancy for flowers Violets
and potted plants in bloom are count
ed among the favorites for these
dainty remembrances. This year pos
tai cards with suitable verses and cuts
played an important part as there
were over three hundred different de-
signs put upon the market.
