The story of the li.c and deeds or
old st. Valentine is an old story. The
sending OF Valentines Is To celebrate
MS kindly acts to his neighbors. Very
lew OF us ever think OF the real mean
ing oil Valentine DAY.
There arc three classes of Valentines.
those which are sent for true love or
friendship. those which are sent in mere
fun. and those which arc sent To Insult
people.
Let us sec how each one of these
serves in the real celebration OF tho
day.
First. those which arc sent from true
friendship: st. Valentines deeds were
deeds OF love. 50 no one will deny that
this is the noblcst way OF celebrating
ms day--scnding words Of love and jos
to those who are dear to u.s.
Second. those which are sent In mere
huMor: St Valentines life WAS life
that chcered and frightened the lives
OF others. IL We send messages which
bring a little laugh or "A broad grin to
some one. we are following the example
of the great man whose delight II was
to make others happy.
Third. those which are sent to insult.
ST. Valentines spirit was a spirit that
sympathi2ed with and encourage the
hopes and feelings Of others. What n
different spirit we show when We send
those little comic cards which are al
ways apt to injure the feelings of some
one We can we'll do without these
last ones, which show us To BE- unkind
and bad tempered, and there is AN
abundance Of those which show US to
be honest and good naturcd.

FRANKS Valentine.

Frank crept quietly up the steps,
And laid his valentine on the floor,
he looked around ana saw no one
And with bang he hit the door.
He went again and again,
Only to he caught:
He wrote the names OF some of his
friends
on the valentines which he had
bought.
ON one aNlentinc was the picture OF u
tramp,
And one with a heart so red,
When all at once out hoped 4 buckle

Which fell right OF his poor head
He cried and ran right straight home.
To tell his mother of the time,
W hen the bucket Of water fell on his
head.
Since then he has never sent another

A. this season Of the year the fur.
nlshiugs for the allycarround house
or summer bungalow form an eX.
trcmely fascinating subject,
Though there may be constant dis
Cussion between the house owner and
the apartment dwehG.of the compare
tive advantages 81 tie different man
uers Of living, It seems that once again
people are yearning for their own
homes and bit Of garden 70 care for
aud enjoy. Architects have responded
10 the call for small houses so that
these small places have been perfected
with all the new comforts and con-
veuienccs, Fortunately the American
people are giving more thought to real
comfort and less to pretense and show.
Possibly there are more kinds OF
stucco houses built now than that Of
any other material. The tiniest apart
ment, as well as the most palatial resi-
denCe should be an index 10 the char
Rcter Of the person by whom It is
arranged.
To successfully attempt the interior
decoration Of a home and to give it
that liyeable atmosphere with just the
right honey aspect, one must give
chief attention to definite planning.
Each room should be planned SO that
the whole will have an effect Of har-
mouy and unity. Harsh contrasts
should be strictly avoided between
rooms as well MS parts Of rooms. just
Hs all the hangings and furniture
should bear close relationship
If you are considering furnishing
your rooms in period furniture, you
will find the study Of the different pc
riods and styles most interesting For
those whose tastes incline to simplicity
the Colonial scheme is most satisfac-
tory. If you possess real antique heir
looms you can not value them too
highly. If not there are such excellent
