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
owe notices, or declarations of affec-
ton. written in verse from a very full
heart and on plain paper. Many of
our Observation-Disclosures saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines, old n yellow and
decaying. packed away In lavender In
the bottom of n dusty trunk up in the
attic. Yet when these valentines were

The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per

them have gained from an artistic
point of view. Today 1t is only the

away, like a billet doux in a bouquet,
a little verse:
This heart, sweet love, | send to you.
Together with these violets blue;
And IL you like this heart of mine,

MALE QUARTET ID
 APPEARMON[)AY O|u
 HE RI-Y COURSE

The third number of the Hi-Y lec- tUre course is the Cameron Male quartet, which will appear next Monday evening at the high school auditorium at S:15 o'clock.
 The thought of a male quartet in- stantly brings memories of the army, bivouac or forest, campfire or mid night serenades on the river or under darkened windows. of rollicking joy rides of cozy club corners; of the sacred. sad hours of farewell and the unforgetable days of long ago. The gamut of American life is expressed in the music of our own land by the Cameron Male quartet with a sym pathy and fine understanding of the spirit of it's audiences.
 The Cameron Male quartet repre- sents the artistry and understanding of musicians of years of training, the harmony and blending of voices that comes only from careful selection and long association.
 Among the various selections of fered during the program will be found masterpieces both sacred and secular, arranged for male voices, catchy college choruses and old home favorites, rolliclxing character songs with a hearty laugh in every line. However, the program is not com posed of vocal selections alone, for fir addition there will be instrumental numbers throughout the program and many novelty numbers, including readings of new stories and snappy dialogues. All in all 1t will be . program of delightful variety, full ot l excellent music.
 Tickets can be secured at the ' M. C. A. or at the door.

 to be liberally responded to. "Peck's
 Bad Boy" is a classic in laughs. re-
 counting the adventures of the fam
 ous fiction character which has fur
 nished laughs for the American
 younger generation for many years.
 But fiction though the original char
 acter be, it is very much alive as
 presented by Jackie Coogan. Every
 stunt he pulls is crammed with
 laughs and he overlooks nothing in
 furnishing the fun. With the able
 assistance of his boy pal and his
 dog Tar Baby" Jackie furnishes enough laughs for months in the sev-
 eral reels utilized in telling the screen story. From beating his way into the circus to putting fleas down his pas back in church, 'Peck's Bad Boy' is a continuous round of rous- l ing laughter. the pest klnd or a tonlc, and entertainment value par excel | lence.
