the best thing about item Is that they

That Little Valentine Boy.

His other name is Cupid. That Is
what the old Romans called him.
He had still another name given him
by the early Greeks, Eros. But what
ever he may be called, he is the same
jolly little sprite that you paint, draw
or paste on your valentines as the
love fairy.
He looks very harmless with his
chubby-baby cheeks and his loving
eyes. But look at him closely and
you will find in those eyes sparks of
mischief glinting through the love,
like points of mica in quartz rock.
