Some specimens of the old-fashioned

this advanced day, and father gets some
attention in this class But moi much
The comic valentine Is ION its way
however, and in a few years the species
will be classed with the dodo bird. the
mastodon. and other extinct thingss The
fad now runs more to dainty things in
sachet boxes and nosegay boxes. that
one may pay considerable sums of money
for, and the old-fashioned card embeI-
lished with paper lace and "curlycues'
has been displaced by cards decorated
with more simple and artistic designs.
