A number Of the young people of the
city are looking forward to ST. Valen-
tines Day and are also very busy plan
ming celebration for this day.
An ancient custom on st. Valen-
tines Eve was the valentine box into
which was dropped an equal number
of names of both sexes. Then every
one drew out name which was sup
posed to be his or her valentine and
was regarded as a prophetic omen of
felicity in love with wedding to fol-
low.
To the small boys and girls this is a
delightful day, full of numerous sur
prises. The following is the descrip-
ton OF pretty party to be given from
four until six o'clock on the afternoon
OF Valentines day, the invitations to
be written on the backs of heart
shaped valentines OR post cards. When
the little guests have arrived there
will be search for candy hearts.
which will be hidden in all the rooms,
In out Of the way corners.
When time is called each child is to
count the hearts, and the boy who has
the most will be crowned king, and
the little girl who has the most will be
crowned queen. These two will then
be privileged to choose the games to
be played for half-hour. At o'clock
the grand march will be formed to go
to the dining room.
The table center-piece is to be
large heart-shaped box from which
ribbon leads to each place, where 1t is
to be fastened to an old-fashioned lace
paper valentine with Cupids and blue
for-get-me-nots
The supper is to be simple, but so
dainty and wholesome. Chicken sand
wiches of white bread, brown bread
sandwiches with chopped raisin filling,
both cut heart-shape with a tin cooky
cutter; delicious cocoa with whipped
cream; an apple and nut salad sprink-
led over with tiny red seets cut>with
a vegetable cutter: the dressing Iling
made with whipped cream stirred in
mayonaise. Last of all pink heart ice
cream with wee heart cakes all iced in
pink with a candy Cupid ornament on
the top of each.
When the feast is over the ribbons
will be pulled and out will come
heart-shaped bon bon box filled with
little heart peppermints.
This party could easily be arranged
for children Of larger growth by sub
stituting heart puzzles for the heart
hint and adding program of love bal
lads.
II one does not wish expense, or can
not get the individual heart-shaped
molds for ice cream, buy the ordinary
brick cream. cut into slices, then cut
each slice with a tin cooky heart form,
and the result will be all to be desired.
At the ordinary candy shops Gu
pids" may be obtained, also gilt ar
rows and many accessories for the ta-
BILE appropriate to the day.
