ALL Lovers DAY
DRAWS NEAR AGAIN
Valentines This Year Are
More Beautiful Than
Ever
ALSO, THEY'RE
MORE EXPENSIVE

February IA is the mystic day. for
Il is the one time of the whole year
when all true lovers may give utter
ance to the desires of their hearts in
a silent and nameless way. which is
nevertheless as we'll understood by
the Lady Faire as If 81 love you had
been written in blazing letters across
the heavens. In the olden days, St
Valentine seemed to have peculiar
preference for the children and the
extremely young lovers who content
ed themselves with sending anony-
nous missives OF crude lace, Cupids,
doves, hearts and pictures.
Times have changed: the day now
belongs to everyone. from baby up TO
grandmother. and the shops this year
have shown that they are aware OF
the fact by the type Of valentine they
are displaying.
Like Christmas. st. Valentines Day
grows always more beautiful, more eN-
pensive and more elaborate. There are
cards of every shape, color and variety
but there are also a multitude Of gifts
Of much more pretcntious claims II Is
relief to note that the calendars, pos
tails. and novelties this season are more
artistic than ever before They possess
real artistic value. which is more than
could be said ior the old gaudy, over
elaborate creations which were it fol
/ the waste basket and which only served
TO collect dust. Everything is, OF course
heart shaped, or has a heart dangling
from IT, But the colors are delicate
many times hand-painted, and the verses
show a certain degree of originality On,
exquisite card, worthy OF fame, set fortl
