A popular Topeka girl entertained
at tea last evening for three young
men. She asked if they wanted her
not! The supposition is, that they are
getting fearful as leap year draws
into February. For they were mos
eligible young men whom any girl
would marry with half a chance. They
represent money, mind and military
medals and some z J. them :? all three

There is probably no day in the en-
tire year which is so popular for en-
PERTAINING as st. Valentines day. Now
the simplest part of any luncheon.
The illustration shows a table set with
a paper cloth much decorated with
red hearts and gold ribbons. Paper
streamers from each place are at
tached to the chandelier, forming a
canopy over the huge heart-shaped
Jack Horncr pie in the center. This
pie. which is filled with favors. is
guarded by a kewpie doll dressed as
Cupid. Ribbons are attached to the
favors and the guests pull them out
at the end of the feast. A fortune may
be attached to each favor or some
little prophetic saying as to the heart
affairs of each guest. Little heart
shaped baskets at each place may hold
small after-dinner candies or salted
nuts.
OF course all the dishes served at
the luncheon or party supper should
have some sort of heart decoration
or be in some way a reminder of the
occasion.
Here are descriptions of a number
of attractive dishes from which you
may select the menu best adapted to
your needs.
Tomato soup or bouillon with heart
shaped croutons. Dreamed oysters or
Large red apples followed out and
filled with a mixture of apples, nuts.
celery and salad dressing.
Cupid's Salad-Cut out heart-shaped
pieces of tomato jelly that was
hardened in a large. flat dish and place
on crisp lettuce leaves Prepare a
cupful of stoned olives, sliced and
chopped cucumber pickles. mix with
mayonnaise and place a little heap
upon each heart.
Love Sandwiehes-On a thin slice
of buttered bread lay a lettuce leaf,
spread with mayonnaise dressing and
sprinkled lightly with grated cheese
and finely minced English walnuts.
Law another slice of buttered bread
over this mixture ami trim into heart
shapes. Or hard boiled eggs cut in
thin slices may be used for the filling.
Gingerbread may be baked in thin
layers and cut in heart shapes, then
frosted deftly so that only the upper
half of a Cupid's dart is seen. giving
the impression that the other half is
buried within. Gelatin also can be
prepared and served in heart-shape
molds and colored with strawberry or
grape juice to make it quite realistic.
St. Valentines Nectar-Afelt six
rounding teaspoons of grated ehoco-
