Alasi the good old days are gone
forever, and even Valentine day is not
what it used to be. In the days gone
by. when you and 1 were young, Mag
gle, we carried two or three valentines
to school, slipped them surreptitiously
into the valentine box, addressed to a
few whom we admired and who adj
mired U.S. Those valentines modeStly
went to their destination anonymously,
and half of the fun of valentine day
was in guessing the names of the
senders of those fearful and wonder
full creations of celluloid. paper lace
and squashy verse. You remember
that there were only a few in those
days that we counted worthy to re-
ceiVe so marked a token of regard as
those valentines But now the boys
and girls come home from school,
each with an armload of them. And
every valentine is signed, with full
name of the sender. and in addition
has initials hung all over the blank
spaces Any number of them carry
with them the engraved card of the
small dude or belle who sends them.
