round pasteboard box can be used as
a foundation for this. 1t is covered
with white crepe paper and a big red
heart pasted in the centre. 1t adds
to the appearance if the edges of the
box are touched up with a line of gold
paint, as shown in our illustration.
For serving refreshments at a val
entine party there is nothing lore
effective than heart and arrow ice
cream or charlotte russo boxes, and
the best thing about them is that they
can be SO easily and quickly made.
Buy some rather thin bright-red
pssteboard at a stationery store, and
also a sheet of white pasteboard.
Then get some of the ordinary pleated
paper cases that are used for char
lotte russo, BISCUIT glace, etc. An
arrow is cut out of the white paste
board, painted gold or covered with
gilt paper and pasted across the large
heart that has just been cut from the
red pasteboard. A circle is then cut
out of the heart, through arrow and
all, the ice cream box inserted in the
opening and held in place with a little
paste.
The paper baskets can be even
more quickly made, the foundation
being the same sort of pleated paper
case. In making the red paper basket,
this is given a handle formed of
wire, with red crepe paper twisted
npnund If and n h0ovt and r.ou
pasted at the top. The paper itself
Is simply covered with a frill of red
paper, held in place by Just a touch

of paste, and a twist of baby ribbon.
The white ice cream basket is made
in exactly the same way, with the
substitution of white paper for red
and a little %pasteboard Cupid stuck
on the handle in place of the heart
and arrow. The favors for a valen-
tine dance, children's party or cotil-
lion are simply fancy paper hearts
fastened on slender sticks, wound
with paper and decorated with ribbon
streamers. The candle shade makes
a most effective table decoration. 1t
is of white paper, decorated with
red hearts and gold arrows, and the
top and bottom of the shade are fin
ished with twists of the paper touched
up with gold paint.
st. Valentines Day was originally
the day dedicated to the incoming Of
spring. The Romans kept it in honor
of Pan and Juno, and the festival,
which lasted several days, was called
"Lupercalia." The early Christian
church, desiring to effect a change in
this much-abused feast, very adroitly
reconstructed the old practice Of the
lottery of lovers names. In place of
The names of real youths and maid
ems, whose applications, written on
slips of paper, were drawn by the
young people of the time, the church
substituted the names of the saints.
The idea had it's own beauty, and the
notion of dedication was thus pre-
served in a more spiritual sense than
n the old Roman festival. This feast,
md not the existence of the real St.
Valentine, is the origin of the gallant

For February festivities that take
place on or near the fourteenth of the
month, there are this year a host of
charming novelties. The old-fash-
Toned valentines are, of course, out of
date for everybody but children, yet
the sentiment of the day still fingers
in the hearts and darts and paste
board Cupids used on the candy
boxes. What, for instance, could be
a prettier remembrance for any young
man to give his "best girl" or eve
a young woman for whom he had no
particular regard but to whose family
he was indebted for invitations to
dinner or tea, dances or other func-
lions of the season, than n OF these
c~andy-boxes? Two different styles
are shown on this page-one covered
with bright-red paper and decorated
with a big bow Of red ribbon, having
in the centre Cupid himself, with his
bow and arrows; the other simpler,
but just as effective, covered with
white crepe paper and decorated with
a gilt arrow pierced through two
hearts. If these boxes are wanted
for souvenirs at l%uncheons or parties
they can easily be made at home by
a clever girl, for the crepe paper is
very simple to manipulate. The heart
shaped pasteboard boxes can be
bought ready-made at most stationery
stores, and the hearts and arrows cut
out of red and gold paper respec-
lively, declares McCall's Magazine.
Even easier to make is the little
round box shown at the top of tn
1eft-hand corner of this group. Any

being mean and stingy. You want

test, which will not cost the hostess
but a few dimes, is to provide each
girl with a length of colored satin
ribbon, suggests The De%lineatior.
This is the only apparatus needed
for the game of Tying Love-Knots. "
Each mai is to be the timekeeper
for each girl and he must talk to her
all the time she is tying an artistic
love-knot out of the ribbon.
He keeps his watch in hand, and
tries to divert her attention and make
her answer his questions. Three
minutes is the time limit, and if she
succeeds in making the knot, he must
wear it through the evening, pinned
to his cravat. If she fails she must
keep at it until she succeeds.

ANOTHER BLOW TO
ORGANIZED LABOR
Court Holds 1t Responsible For
Damage Caused by Boycotting.
REvERSES A CIRCUIT DECISION
Section 2 of Antitrust Act Award.

Amount of Damages Sustained

ing to Complainant Three Times
Amount of Damages Sustained
by Highest Court.
Washington, D. C.-The Supreme
Court was unanimous in holding that
the section of the Antitrust act
awarding to a complainant three
times the amount of damages sus-
tanned by a combination in restraint
of interstate trade can be invoked in
the case Of a boycott by organized
labor.
The case was that of D. G. Loewe
& Co., hat manufacturers, of Dan
bury, Conn, VS.. Martin Lawlor and
200 other members of the United
Hatters' Union, of that city.
The decision of the court was an.
nounced by Chief Justice Fuller, and
it reversed the holding of the Circuit
Court of Appeals.
I'm our opinion" Chief Justice
Fuller said, "the combination de-
scribed in the declaration is a combi-
nation in restraint of trade or COM
merce amongthe severa States in the
in which those words are used
in the act. The combination charged
falls within the class Of restraints of
trade aimed at compelling third par
ties and strangers Involuntary not
to engage in the u of trade ex-
cept on conditions that the combina-
ton imposes, and there is no doubt
that, to quote from the well known
work of Chief Justice Earle on trade
unions, at common law every person
has individually, and the public has
also collectively, a right to require
that the course of trade should be
kept free from unreasonable obstruc-
tion.'
But the objection here is to the
Jurisdiction. 1t is said that the re-
straint alleged would operate to en-
tirely destroy the defendants bust
ness and thereby include interstate
trade as we'll; that physical obstruc-
ton is not alleged as contemplated,
and that defendants are not them
selves engaged in interstate trade.
We think none of the objections are
tenable, and that they are disposed
of by observation-disclosures this court"
The suit was instituted by Loewe
& Co. in the United States Circuit
Court for the District of Connecticut.
The company, alleging damages by
boycott against their factory to the
extent of $4,000, asked for a judg-
ment for $4,000 in accordance
with the terms of the Sherman act.
Not only the members of the Hatters'
Union, but the American Federation
of Labor, of which the union is a sub
ordinate organization, was included
in the bill.
In the complaint it was alleged
that the labor organization had IN
dertaken to compel the manufacture
ers to unionize their factory, as a
large majority of other hat factories
in the United States had been forced
to do, and it was asserted that when
they failed in this effort the union
hatters withdrew and induced other
employees to do so. This act was fol-
lowed by the declaration of q boycott
against LoeWe's hats wherever they
were found, and as the firm con-
troHed an extensive trade throughout
the country the boycott extended to
many States.

Remember that you want to enjoy

rules:
Don't fret and worry every hour of

goes wrong.
Don't rush your games too close on
each others heels. Young people
like to talk.
Don't seem to be making an effort
to entertain them at every moment.
Suggest the games when the talking
grows a little less spirited.
