VALENTINES ARE SMILING
IN THE STORE WINDOWS
Day Marks the Return of Spring to
Nature and in the
Heart.

Valentines of all descriptions and COL
ors are today smiling as entrancingly
as inanimate things can from the store
windows all over Washington. 1t is
their last public smile! Soon they will
all meet one of two fates-either they
will be cast into envelopes and then
into mail boxes and finally into the
outstretched arms of Dolly or Polly, or
they will be put back on the shelves,
alas, to wait for Valentine day to roll
around again. So no one with smile
in his heart will disappoint Dolly!
That same great mystery that never
was a mystery, that of the anonymous
sender, that precious humbug, will do
duty this season at the old stand. He
who buys the valentine and she who
receives it-and. also, she who buys it
and he who receives twill pretend
that she will not know who sent it.
etc.-but she will. And he will. And
all will. ST. Valentine is a good old
saint who never fooled anybody.
Day of Personal Celebration.
st. Valentines day is peculiarly the
day of personal celebration. 1t is a
day hugged close to ones heart.
Christmas and Easter celebrations are
celebrations en- masse, as it were. but
ST. Valentine's-one person is quite
enough, thank you.
One person can put on the best little
celebration all by himself or herself
that ever was. For st. Valentines day
marks the return of spring to the year.
and of love to the heart
Even the glummest of persons warns
up bit these few days in the middle
of the shortest month to look around
him and think about some one besides
himself. If it isn't of sweetheart he
thinks, then it may be of a mother, or
a sister, or even of some good old pal
away off somewhere-it doesn't make
much difference in what form spring
returns to the heart. 1t is the return
that counts.
