Yesterday was Valentines Day. We got one. l. was the first one iD maybe thirty or forty years. That's one reason we appreciate it. It was not burlesque, for it had violets on it and little verse about "Violets are sweet and so are you" It was sent by a sweet faced lady who likes us. She must like us or she would not have sent ~the valentine. Now, don't get excited, our wife saw the valentine and said it was nice. We like that lady with the sweet face. We always have liked her since we first met her some ten or twelve years ago. We like her better now than we ever did before, because she sent that valentine. We shall not tell her name, because other folks might be jealous. All the same we were glad to get that valentine from the sweet faced lady.
