Little Lesson on the Unwisdom OF
Comic Valentines.


1t is extremely unkind to send a COM
ic valentine and extremely unpleasant
TO receive one, for, although it is very
foolish to be vexed on receipt of one, 1t
is very difficult not to be. When the
bright girl got hers she was very much
vexed. The rime said some insulting
thing about an old maid. and there
was an atrocious picture above ii. AS
the bright girl got hers she was very
much put out.
There was no reason why she should
have felt badly. but she did. She sat
down TO think of some way of finding
out who sent il. There was one girl
whom she suspected. but she knew bet
ter than to tax her with the deed, for
in doing so, If her suspicious were cor
rect. she would only be gratifying the
offender. She finally hit upon the plan
of sending the valentine back to the
suspect and awaiting developments.
The developments developed beauti-
fully. The original sender was SO an
CRY at the device and at the same time
so elated with the fact that she knew
who had sent her the valentine that
she never thought of the danger of Civ
ing herself away. She Immediately
sought out the bright girl and told her
that she thought she was a mean thing.
Then the bright girl asked her how she
knew who sent the valentine. The 9TH
girl perceived that there was a game
and that she was ii. She did not enjoy
the five minute conversation which EN-
sued as much as the bright girl did.
