OLD LOVE TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had a
Personal Touch.
Much Of the Romance of the Day Has
Passed, Though Sentiment Is
the Same as Ever.

Three hundred years ago young men
and women wrote their own valen-
tines, which consisted then only of
love notices, or declarations of affec-
ton, written In verse from very full
heart and on plain paper. Many Of
our great-grandmother saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines, old and yellow and
decaying, packed away in lavender In
the bottom of dusty trunk up In the
attic. Yet when these valentines were
grandma's heart did palpitate and the
bushes rise to her cheeks No mat.
ter how hating the sonnet, or ana
gram or triolet, 1t was the music Of
love to her. Heart" dart" and "art"
did rhyme sweetly!
The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per-
sonal touch, though perhaps some Of
them have gained from an artistic
point of view. Today it is only the
Interested grown-ups who find the GUS
tom of valentine making and valen-
tine giving the fascination that 1t used
to be. Why, even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to.
Now the modern young man drops
In confectioner's or florists shop and
orders candy or flowers sent to Her.
He scOrns the valentine sonnet
whereby the girls of today are missing
a heap of romance.
Ihls was the day when young man
might accuse some young woman he
admired of being coquette without
insulting her. In those days "co-
quette" had just such naughty
meaning as "vamp" has today. It
meant heartless trif1er.
If she thereupon sent him hand
made valentine on which were two
bleeding hearts made as one, it was
her answer to his accusation. 1t meant
that conquering the hearts of other
men than he, meant nothing to her;
that only his heart and hers In all
the world counted, that her heart was
bleeding for him just as much as his
was suffering for her.
The comic valentine is an outgrowth
or burlesque of the uper-sentimental
valentine and has almost died out. In
stead of pointing out the recipients
projections and charms it dwells vivid
ly and uncomplimentarily on his man
nerisms, clothes and appearance, In
colored caricature. Red hair, large
noses, blotched compilations, remark
able skinniness or avoirdupois are u.s.
ually the jocular themes. Because
valentines are sent anonymously, it is
possible with impunity to remark
scathingly on the physical character
istics or disposition of ones friends or
foes.

it with the greatest pride and interest,
