St. Valentines Day.
That valentines are not obsolete was
proven by the crowd out selecting them
81 yesterday.
ss8}s There was much merry-making among
1 the valentine buyers. Some inclined TO
Il the sentimental idea, and could not nave
loo much of the Cupd.forget- me-not
type The humorous type appealed TO
81 that portion Of humanity always fond OF
# making its meaning clear through the
Il medium of Il joke
ES One worthy gentleman, whose spouse
il Is fond of going through her husbands
4 pockets after he is snoring peacefuliy
nbed at night, sought anxiousiy until
n Ills eye lighted upon 4 comic sheet, which
Il exactly reproduced the picture he had in
his minds eye. He gloated over the
Il fun he expected TO have ct his wlfe,s
expense, and procured an envelope 20
4 enclose his valentine Offering carefully
directed on the typewriter, SO that there
might be no clue, by means q hand
III writing to the sender.
There were schoolgirls intent upon
II choosing the rosiest-hucd valentine on
4 the sales courier, and there were young
men in plenty selecting something upon
(which soft eyes might light With pleas
TIRE.
H At the florists the prettiest valentines
were ordered sent, many young men
choosing the faNorite flower of their best
beloved. and making their offering to
Saint Valentine III roses, llics-of-the-
valley, carnations, violets, orchids or
sweet peas.
~ At the confectioners there was every
thing that artistic fancy and ingenuity
could suggest in the way of valentine
! novelties and devices The most beau
tiful heart-shaped boxes for holding
sweets, with lunches of flowers he'd in
place by ribbons, and inside conserved
y roses and violcts encircling a little love
with an arrow in his hand and a heart
for a background
For one day the world stops to be
foolish and sentimental and young again,
and the world is all the better for even
this brief worship at the shrine of Saint
Valentine.
