ST. VALENTINE CARRIED

Mushy Messages Of Love Are Thing
of Past.
Today is st. Valentines Day.

Today Is ST. Valentines Day.
The fair young things who got up early
expecting to get mushy messages were
deeply disappointed. You probably could
not have found one oid-fashioned yalen-
tine. with picture of a. pink Cupid on
IL and lacy trimmings. in the whole
town They're simply out OF style.
The military spirit fills the country
and so they even put kewpies in khaki
The stores had all sorts OF stunning
valentines yesterday. and nearly all re-
hected the military spirit. There were
whole troops of uniformed little doll boys
and doll girls for favors for valentine
parties. There were kewpie colonies and
kewpie majors and kewpie generals
The idea about valentines has changed
entirely in the past several years.
This year. more than ever before, the
young fellows were buying flowers and
little gifts for their girls instead of
scraps of paper"
The general run of people who send a
valentine as a remembrance simply
bought postcards yesterday.
The mushy love MESSAGES seem TO be
entirely OF the past
