at the OsceoIa club Friday night. You

great big valentine, really. Big val
entines We're in the windows and from
the walls and ceilings fIuttered red
hearts-Iong. graceful festoons Of them.
Cupids with their bows and arrows
We're practicing their Workmanship,
and red and white balloons We're float
ing from everywhere. Testoons of
southern smilaX were among those Of
hearts, and crimson shaded lights
made rosy glow. The throne for the
king and queen was n fitting setting
for the royaIist of the royal Embow-
cred in greens and florals with fIut-
tering hearts and Cupids darting from
behind almost every flower, it certainly
was throne of Love and Beauty. On
either side were lovely little swings
of scintillating jewe-s, seemingly
where the little Cupid gods of love and
beauty perched themselves to guard
the perfectly adorable little Cupids
were taken by Marjory Yonge, little
daughter of NJ. and Mrs. Malcolm
ouge, and Master Thomas Johnson,

was-you. never could, she was so like
a valentine, one of those lovely old
fashioned ones with white lace paper
pantaIettes, perky little valentine hat,
AMI completely concealed by her mask
and airy red mantle, but-there's just
one girl in the younger set who has
that certain something" about her
that even a mask and valentine cos
