first American valentine. She was Esther y.

and energy for she not only made fortune
for herself but established new industry in
this country.
1t was two years after her graduation and
when she was back in her home in Worcester
that Miss Howland conceived the idea of the
American valentine The earliest fancy valen-
tine to come to this country from England fell
into her hands in 1S49. 1t had an elaborate
border of fine lace paper and was decorated
with coored flowers cut out and pasted on.
In the center was a small pocket. containing
a red edged note which bore love message
