FIT was not until late Saturday after
 noon that MT. Justwed remembered
 that the next day was St. Valentines Day. When he did recall that senti- mental fact he jumped as though eiectri- fed. The morrow the one day of the year especially dedicated to love and Iove-mak- ing and his Blossom without a valentine from himl That would never do!
 So he damned on his hat and coat and rushed out of the bank to the nearest florists. Of course 1t would be violets- for what other flower is SO delicately, fragrantly suitable for the tender expres- sion of the tenderest thoughts as the mod est violet
 The florist must have held the same oplnion-judglng from the price he asked but a little thing ike that didn't stump Mir. Justwed one bit. Not for a | minute! He handed 1t over like a major and he corrailed 200 of them! Your cardY' Queried the florist as be : finished writing the address. { Just a minute, here IT, Mr. Just 1 wed replied-and then be stopped short, 1 Yes, by lingo! He would do 1t! It would ! be the cleTerest and sweetest of remind CTS of his implicit faith in the complete , ness of her love for him.
 . Never mind," he finished, "tust send them without a card. She'n know who !, they are from. And be sure and send them right awayP'
 All the way back to the office Mir. Just wed chuckled and gloated and enthused ! over the finesse of the compliment. Of course he didn't need a card The Ideal A man sending flowers to his own wife and enclosing his card. Who else would dare send flowers to another mans wife Why, she wouldn't be In doubt one min ute as to the identity of the sender of the flowers Whew! It was a narrow escape Blossom sure would have been offended if he had enclosed his card As if she |, wouldn't know instantly who they came from
 And Mfr. Justwed chuckled again.
 Two hours later MT. Justwed entered his apartment to find Mrs. Justwed stand ing in the middle of the cozy little living room with the box of violets in her hands they had just arrtyed) and the most beatifc smile on her face. Her eyes were Hmpid pools of joy and her cheeks scar let with appreciation.

 A little aftermath that is really novel ard interesting Is as follows:
 At each plate have a place card, taste fully drawn and lettered, somewhat as shown in the illustration, on heavy, white cardboard, such as is used for tally cards. At the head of each card put the name of the lady by whom the place will be occupied. Arranged on each card, each below the other, are certain questions.
 Explain to the guests that these ques- tions all refer to the brlde-elect, in whose honor the luncheon Is given. and that each question must be answered with the name of some fower-all of which grouped in a cluster naturally make 'The Valentine Brides Bouquet" Allow a certain length of time for the guests to write their answers on the reverse side of their cards. then collect them. Award one. two or three prizes to the ladies having the largest number of questions answered correctly. In case of a tie, cut cards to decide. The answers to the questions are:
 l. American Beauty.

Simple Dry Clearing.

YTHOMEN who must economize in AkH dress viii find that gasoline Is " preferable to anything as cleans ing fluid. By its use many pretty gar rnents may be restored to their original freshness. Light colored laces. ribbons and galIoons have faculty of soilinG very easily. If they are not worn or frayed they may be dyed with oil paint mixed with gasoline. The effect produced in this manner Is very good.
 All kinds of clothing can be cleansed with gasoline by the careful hOusekeeper Of course, much care must be exercised in It's use. If possible. the work should be done out of doors and never in room where there Is fire or an artificial light For blouses. gloves. silks and neck wear 1t is an effective as well as an inex- pensive dry cleaner.

BULLET in Head;
j 7 STILL LIVES
FLORENCE MAN SHOT WHILE ON
CHRISTMAS SPREE.
Portion of His Brain Is Gone and Sew
eral Operations Have Been Perform
ed in the Hope of Saving His Life
Will Die.

JACKSON, Miss, April 21-With a
bullet hole through his brain, running
from the left side of the nose upward
and out just to the right and back of
the central top of his head, inflicted
during the Christmas holidays, Walter
Quin, a young farmer of Florence, a
few miles south of Jackson, still lives,
and although now confined to his bed
with a relapse. he has actually been
up and about his fathers farm for
some time.
Since the shooting, which resulted
in the removal of a good-sized bunch
of brain matter, an operation has been
performed by Jackson physicians in
which large quantities of pus has been
removed having accumulated and
causing a species Of epileptic fits.
Later he has developed spasms, and
there now appears to be no hope for
his ultimate recovery.
The shooting was done by a neigh
boring farmers son at. Florence, on
Saturday night either before or after
Christmas, shortly after the two had
returned home from Jackson. Both
had been drinking here and Harrell
had become unmanageable. There was
prayer meeting in a church ner by
and Harrell insisted upon going up
and disturbing the meeting Quin and
some other companions tried to dis.
suade him, but he persisted and all but
Quin left him. Quin, after trying vain
ly to manage Harrell, finally decided
to leave him, remarking that if he
would insist upon making a fool of
himself he would leave him alone
Harrell, angered by the remark, struck
him with his fist. Quin then began
pulling off his coat for a fist fight
when Harrell pulled his pistol and
fired.
For a time it was thought Quin was
dead, and for weeks there was nc
