Grandma went to school that day
not thinking much about getting val

took her seat on the rude bench as
usual. Suddenly, as she was sitting
in her seat, some one showed the val

of the girls, blindfolded her with her
hands. When grandma was freed no
one was there but Rosaline. Grandma

HEART-sHAPED VALENTINE

Dear Aunt Laurie:
A long time ago when grandmother
was a little girl about years old she
and her grandfather went to the post
office. They got a letter addressed to
grandmother.
She tore the letter open and was
amazed to see nothing but a valentine
She ran home to show it to her mother.
Her mother took 1t. 1t was shaped
like a heart and had all kinds of little
figures on it. 1t had two angels on it
dancing around with a ribbon in each
hand. Grandmother showed it to every
body that came in. She put 1t away
down in the bottom of the big trunk
and kept it always.

Dear Aunt Laurie:
r WONDER what we children of to-
day would think of receiving a
- valentine such as my grand
mother did when she was small girl.
My grandmother was born in 1928, and
so did not know what it was to go to
the store and buy a valentine for q
nickel or a dime.
The first valentines grandma can
remember about were very simple
ones. One was written on paper some
thing like our scratch paper, and on
it were three verses in handwriting.
Each verse ended with the line You're
q little coquette."
The other one was made out of
paper good deal like our heavy wrap
ping paper. 1t was a square piece of
the paper on which a large heart was
glued. This heart was painted a
bright red and through it little dart

(HonorabIe Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
TN THE year 1925 my great-grand-
mother came to this country from
Il the Isle of Man with her two
children, a boy named Thomas, who
was 10 years old, and her little girl,
Mary, who was 6.
The Isle of Man, also called Mona,
is very small island, not as large as
some of the ranches in California. 1t
is located in the Irish sea, between
Ireland and Scotland, and is always
enveloped in mist. The people used to
be very superstitious, and the island
was supposed to be inhabited by many
fairies. Some of the fairies | may tell
you about some time.
Very soon after great grandmother
came over here she was left a widow.
AS soon as Thomas was old enough he
went out into the world, to seek his
fortune and earn money enough TO
help his mother. He stayed away
long time and the home seemed empty
without him.
on the 14th of February my great
grandmother received box which
contained the first valentine she had
ever seen, and / think one of the first
ever made, from her son Thomas.
Perhaps you can imagine how pleased
she was to get it, for it showed that
her boy had not forgotten her. 1t was
a simple one compared with those we
have now, but it was made of pretty

Letters to Aunt Laurie From Nephervs and Nieces
YOUNG BOY DRAWS VALENTINE
Little Girl Poses Unconscously for
Valentine Sketch
(First Prize)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
n the year of 1851 there lived in
Kentucky a little 10-year-old girl
named Betty. She lived near
pretty creek, which flowed past her
back yard to a shady knoll by a woods
where Betty had her dolls playhouse,
and from there on into the deep woods
About an eighth of a mile from Bet
tvs home an 11-year-od boy lived
His name was Thomas. Betty admired
him very much and he returned the
admiration, and thew were constant
companions. Most of their spare time
was spent at the little green knoll on
the creek. Betty uGed to like to hold
her only child, a rag doll, and gaze at
her reflection in the CLASSY surface of
the creek. She wondered why this i'm
age would not speak to her. One time,
as she was gazing into this CLASSY
mirror and not thinking of anything
else, an inspiration came to Thomas.
He was an artist and he would draw
her picture. So he commenced at once,
and when he had finished he had
beautiful sketch of a little girl clasping
a rag doll in her arms and gazing at
her reflection in creek.
He took the sketch home, and that
nlSnI, just as ne Udu secretly put IHe
finishing touches on it, Bettv and her
mother came in.
That night Betty and Thomas heard
for the first time in their lives about
st. Valentine, and how his birthday
had been used in remembrance of him.
Thomas grandmother told them the
story and ended by saying that Valen-
tines day was but two days off. OF
course both children were interested,
but later an idea came to Thomas
whereby he might be able to celebrate
Valentines day.
Two nights later a rap was --eard at
the door of Betty's log home. She went
to the door, but no. one was in sight;
before long, however, she happened to
see something white lying on the
threshold Betty eagerly picked it up,
explaining: "Oh! maybe it's a val
entine.'
At this all her brothers and sisters
crowded around her to watch her un-
wrap the little package. After she had
unfolded the newspaper covering, what
do you suppose she saw? A wonderful
valentine; a large gilt heart outlined
in red, and on the picture Betty recog-
nized herself as she was looking at
her picture in the creek.
"Oh how beautiful she exclaimed,
and then more softly, land it's from
Thomas"
Aunt Laurie. this Betty is my grand
mother, and in little trunk in her
attic you might find today the first
(now faded valentine that she ever
had remembrance from my grand
father. Your loving niece,

Dear Aunt Laurie:
H HE heading for this weeks story
reminded me of a stanza of an
- old song L have heard many
times:
Ny grandmother lives yonder little green.
Fine an old lady as ever seen.
She often cautioned me with
or all false young men to beware.
And then 1 thought of the story of
"Grandmother's First Valentine" as it
has been told to me.
Once, when grandmother was about
49, she had a very troublesome lover,
who persisted in paying attention to
her in spite of her evident dislike for
him. A few days before st. Valentines
day this young man told grandmother's
brother, who was a great friend of his,
that he intended to present himself
as a valentine to grandmother. OF
course, grandmother was told what to
expect, and she was prepared to ''giye
him his walking papers, as soon as
possible, but the opportunity came in
a way least expected. The young man
did not come during the day, but in
the evening, while grandmother and
her sister were in the dairy attending
to the milk,
He came to the house, and upon
being told where she was he went out

found this little valentine. She had
saved it all those years.
Her son Thomas is an old, old man
now, and is living in Canada. He has
probably forgotten about the little val
entine he sent to his mother SO many
years ago, but l think it is in the pos

Demand For Servants.

During the last thirty years the
demand for servants has doubled,
while the supply has increased only
by half-in the last decade only by
five per cent. In 1870 there was one
to every twelve; even in the recent
crisis, when the cities were filled with
unemployed, the demand still outran
the supply. And yet, during the
thirty years past, the number of self
supporting women-that is, the
actual labor market-has more than
trebled. Forty years ago a woman
thrown upon her own RESI- urces would
tend to select homework for living:
in fact, one woman in two did so Sc
