tinted cards adorned with tablcauX of love-
sick swain and maidcns IN frames OF
cun;ds and hearts, featured the day. Lacy
concoctions of much variety and fraglhty
bespoke the sender's true love-
In these more prosaic days sent'mcntal
valentines have gwen way 10 such verses
as;
For YOU alone inward pine,
Oh. come and be my Valentine
For Won the guest-room shall be done
In fresh wallpaper, curtains spun
From rarest silk, I'll buy car
So the rude trolley need not jar
Your femperament. And you can go
seven nights q week to the movie-show-
But give, oh Valentine, look
That means you'll be my honored cook.
Or this:
TO A srREETcAR CONDUCTOR.
oft YOU have spurned me and passed me
by
With cold contempt in your scornful eye;
Often. with loud and rsucous shout
You we insulted and ordered me about.
Yet still at your chariot wheels lope,
Driven on and on by the one mad hope.
That some day may, for a siX-cent fare,
Cling hv finger and toe-tips beside you
there.
Cupid is in fair way to have his wings
completely shorn.
