Although college girls are supposed TO SHIN
at Cupid and statistics show that the devotees
of higher education make marriage q sac
issue, it was a college girl who invented the
first American valentine. She was Esther A.
Rowland, a Mount Holyoke girl. who was
graduated in 1847. Yet at that time she pos
sessed the modern college spirit Of enterprise
and energy. for she not only made a fortune
for herself, but established a new industry In
this country.
1t was two years after her graduation and
when she was back in her home in Worcester
that Miss Rowland conceived the idea OF the
American valentine. The earliest fancy valen-
tine to come to this country from England fell
into her hands in 1849. It had an elaborate
border Of fine lace paper and was decorated
with colored flowers cut out and pasted on
In the center was a small pocket, containing
a red edged note, which bore a love message.
Miss Howland's father, who was q sta
toner, imported a few of these valentines. His
daughter, on seeing them, felt she could i'm
prove ON them, so she manufactured two out
Of lace paper, colored paper and paper now
ers. Even the s~coffers had to admit that they
outclassed those of English manufacture and
she was encouraged to make a dozen more.
She induced her brother, who travelled for her
father, to take the samples with him on his
next trip to see il he could get any orders.

self with a valentine factory on her hands.
She began to import colored pictures ana
other ornaments from Germany, but as It was
a tedious process to cut these out BY hama
she had a set Of dies made to shorten the
process. She next conceived the idea OF en-
bossing the little Autograph ornaments ana
wrote to the firm in Germany, outlining her
plan and proposing to have the cutting and
enclosing dies made and sent to It at its
expense. II declined Miss Howlands oner,
however, and speedily had dies made IN ls
own country.
The American valentines. or the Worcester
valentine, as it was known, rapidly gained q
reputation all over the country and the bust
ness increased so much that in a few years
Miss Rowland was sending out 100000 worth
of goods. In spite OF generous offers from
manufacturers to take over her business, Miss
Rowland stuck to IT, even after the accident
that necessitated her confinement to q wheel
chair for several years. When her father be-
came Ill, however, and required her constant
care she sold out her business to the hrm
which conducts It to-day in Worcester.
But the Mount Holyoke girls do not forget
that it was a graduate from their alma mater

tines" in the guise of post girls, and other por-
trayals equally suggestive of tender sentiment.
Valentine day party decorations are obvi-
tously an important consideration. Red and
white should be the predominating colors and
even lamps and gas jets should be equipped
with shades of pink crepe paper or silk, in
order that they may induce a subdued illuml-
nation, as is BETTING an occasion so senti-
mental. Although not universally known,
mistietoe Is almost as appropriate as an adj
junct of Valentines day as it is of Christmas.
Preferably it should be placed on a chandelier
or In a doorway in such manner that it will
not be readily noticed save by sharp eyes.
Often the mistletoe is intertwined with a bow
and arrow or a little plaster Cupid.
The ingenuity of the hostess will readily
suggest many ways Of including the m~istletoe
in the decorations so as to be a source OF
many delightful surprises, making a most
amusing feature of the entertainment. The
st. Valentine mistletoe, it is needless to ex-
plain, carries the same privileges for the
young swain as does the Christmas mistle-
toe.
No phase of the Valentine party gives a
hostess better opportunity for the display OF
originality than the form of an invitation.
Cards adorned with water-color sketches Of
hearts, Cupid's bow and arrow are often used
and some hostesses have sent through the
mails to their prospective guests heart-shaped
pieces of cardboard with the invitation penned
on the face. The present day fad for souvenir
postal cards has also provided another me-
dunn for summoning st. Valentines subjects.
Important as are the decorations and invt-
~tations, to provide the merriest and most
unique plans for entertaining her guests is, of
course, the chief ambition of every Valentine
hostess. The true traditional ceremony of st.
Valentines day was the drawing of a class of
lottery, followed by ceremonies not unlike
that generally known as the game of ~forfeits
and some notifications of the old English
pastime is a prominent feature of many pres

On his return he handed her orders
amounting to $4,000. She was aghast. She
had hoped for orders representing 500, but
$4,000 meant work enough to keep her busy
for several years. She was In a quandary un-
til she thought of asking her friends to help
her. They consented willingly. Embossed pa
per was ordered from England and colored
pictures from New York. from the only hthog-
rapher in this country. One friend cut out the
pictures and kept them assorted in boxes.
Another, with models before her. made the
background Of the valentine. passing it to still
another, who put on the adornments. Thus 1t
went from hand to hand, each one celebrating
1t q little more, until it was finally turned out
a thing of more or less coquetry and beauty.
At last the big order was completed.
The next year Miss Rowland looked about
for novelties and gave her brother a still
larger assortment Of samples when he started
on his trip. Many OF these were quite costly
and among them was the first message OF Dan
Cupid on satin or silk. A tragedy hung on
the introduction of this novelty. The young
woman who painted these valentines formed
the habit of moistening the brush with her
lips, thus absorbing so much paint that she
died from paint poisoning.
The second year the orders were SO nu-
merous that it was necessary to double the
working force. Miss Rowland soon found her

A game which may always be de- V@
pended upon to produce much merri-
ment among the younger guests is a
modification of the well-known don
key party game, in which a large cut out
heart of turkey red calico takes the place Oh
the long-suffering donkey. In the corner OF
the red heart is fastened a small heart OF
white calico or other cloth. Each guest Is
provided with a cardboard arrow with a pin
in it. AS each one takes his turn he Is
blindfolded, turned around several times IN
order that he may be confused as to location,
and then left TO pin his arrow on the white
heart If he can. He must pin the arrow at
the point where he first touches the sheet and
is not allowed to feel his way to the goal.
After all the guests have tried their skill a
prize is awarded to the one whose arrow Is
nearest the center of the white heart. while
a consolation prize is bestowed upon the

is a fancy cake with pink and white frost1ng
which contains a ring. Each guest is allowed
to cut his own slice from this cake and the
finder of the ring, it is prophesied, will be the
first to be married. Music is almost invari-
ably a feature of Valentine day parties and
usually the choice falls upon the old-fashioned
love songs.
