seated in 2 bower, with a church in
the distance, and a few lines descrip-
tive of the tender sentiments of the
persons forwarding the same. The
designers of these amatory billets
seem to nave entertained rather singu-
lar notions respecting the proper at
titude Of the ladies and gentlemen of
whose feelings they sought to be-
come the interpreters. The lady was
invariably dressed in a scarlet gown,
with blue or green shawl; the gen.
tleman was attired in lavender trous-
ers, yellow waistcoat, blue surtout,
and green or crimson cravat. The eff
feet thus obtained was, as might be
imagined, somewhat striking; hut our
fathers and mothers were apparently
satisfied with these quaint produc-
tions. The introduction of the cheap
postage of today laid the foundation
of the present trade in valentines,
the manufacture of which now consti-
tutes an important branch of indus
trial activity, furnishing, directly or
indirectly, employment to several
thousand persons of both sexes.
Cheap postage is also responsible
for the introduction of the comic val
entine, that hideous bit of vulgarity
sold for cent in the United States
and in Great Britain for a penny or
half-penny, which still remains one
of the tribulations of the day. But
side by side with this monstrosity
grew up the pretty and fanciful cards
whose use in a modified form has been
extended also to Christmas and to
New Years.

INSPIRATION IN PEN IN NATIONS HEART
Some Thoughts on the GettyS-
burg Grafton, Well Described
as immortal.
men are created equal.

HE FACT that President Wilson
and then transcribes his notes on
typewriter has given rise to some spec
ulation as to whether this contrib
utes to the style of his state papers.
The variety of methods used by au-
thors makes it unsafe to dogmatize on
the subject. But that the writing out
of his messages by hand benefits the
style cannot be doubted. While short
hand suggests speed, it does not nee
essarily imply it when the writer is
committing his own thoughts to paper.
He might linger as long over pot
hook as over an ordinary character.
But the writer who uses a pen feels
a certain inspiration in it, and as he
writes various synonyms come troop
ing through his mind and he has the
time to select the one that expresses
his meaning with the greatest nicely,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
A magazine writer, in discussing
the presidents method, suggests that
when one operates typewriter the
cessation of the click of the machine
interrupts the continuity of the
thought. This disadvantage is not so
obvious as that arising from the fact
that the speed of the typewriter pre-
cludes careful selection of synonyms.
But either method of writing is pre-
ferable to dictation, for dictation
causes prolixity and the speed pre-
vents fine discrimination in the use of
words. 1t is also responsible for
many extreme utterances. The famous
letter General Egan wrote about Gen.
eral Miles affords an illustration.
Much of it's heat was generated in the
process Of dictation.
Lincoln's Gettysburg address is es-
teemed a model of conciseness. 1t
was the result of lifelong habit of
composition. AS a boy Lincoln had
neither slate nor scratchpad. He
wrote on a single with piece of
charcoal. The only way he could erase
his writing was by shaving the single.
We have the testimony of one of the
telegraphers in the war department
that President Lincoln, when compos-
ing a telegram, whispered it over to
himself before committing it to paper.
The telegrapher knew nothing of the
shingle, but we may trace the habits
of the man to his childhood. Is it too
much to argue that had Mr.. Lincoln
been accustomed to debating to
stenographer we might have never had
the Gettysburg classic? And is it not
possible that the limited library of
the Lincoln boy proved blessing to
him? 1t was composed of the very
best books in our language and he
read and reread them and then wrote
the essence of them on his single
and told them to his playmates in his
own language. The self-education of
Lincoln is one of the marvels of his
tory

Picture Post Cards

The picture post card, which so
revolutionized the observance of st.
Valentines day in the United States,
is a very recent idea. 1t was born
in Europe about seven years ago, and
from small beginning has grown
into a manufacturing industry that
employs thousands of people through
out the world. The first cards were
photographs or paintings of crowned
heads. prominent personages and ac-
tresses. Then came scenes of noted
places, excellent examples of art
nouveau, mezzotints, sepia work,
poster effects, and then sketches
done by artists of note. The puzzle
card being set of several pieces that
have to be pieced together to make
one large picture, almost set France
crazy for awhile. People would get
part of design and watch the mail
with great curiosity to see what was
coming next. The comic card has
had great vogue abroad, but has been
very much restricted in this country
on account of the United States post
Office placing it under a ban
