old love TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had a
Personal Touch.
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 afIec-
ton, written in verse from very full
heart and ON plain paper. Many Of
our great-grandmotherS 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
first penned and put in her hand how
grandmas heart did palpitate and the
bushes rise to her cheeks! No mat
ter how hating the sonnet, or ana
gram or tTfOlet 1t was the music of
love to her. 'Heart," dart" and art
did rhyme sweetly!
The machinemade valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per-
sonal touch, though perhaps some of
them have gained fromA~an artistic
point of view. Today it is only the
school children and few open-hearted
interested grownups who find the GUS
tom of valentine making and valen-
tine giving the fascination that it used
to be. Why, even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to.
Now the modern young man drops
in confectioner's of'tlorists 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.
This was the day when young man
might accuse some young woman he
admired of being Il coquette without
insulting her. In those days SEQ
quette" had just such a naughty
meaning as "vamp" has today. 1t
meant heartless tritler.
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 super
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 ana 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. ~~.-- 81.

CUPID'S own DAY
Fourteenth Of February Belongs
to Him Alone.
With Memories of the Past and
Joy of the Present.

Frightening the dull, drab month Of
February and doing their very best
to cheer up and bring love into our
hearts, the valentines-the valentines
smile at us with their lace-and-forget-
ms-not daintiness from the shop win
0oWS.
There are elaborate "1nillionairer
valentines OF celluloid and blue ribbons
that come in big lace boxes, like
French dolls; there are valentines that
when pulled out like an accordion be-
come Cinderella coaches Of cardboard,
laden With Loves and Venuses and
Cupids. Others resolve themselves in
to airy pink-and-blue palaces-you
never know-peopled with delightful
goddesseS and doves.
But the best and most sincere, per-
haps, are the old-fashioned valentines
-viStas of foamy paper lace, through
which you look upon hearts redder
than lovers lips, in prospect Of viO-
let's and forget-me-nots. And hidden
away, like billet doux in a bouquet,
a little verse:
This heart, sweet love, I send to you,
Together with these violets blue;
And If you like this heart of mine,
l pray you be my valentine.
Could anything be more simple or
direct to the point? AS unerringly as
Cupid's darts or beau's rapier, the
verse carries it's message home. 1t
may be that the Elizabethan lyrics.
the love songs of Herrick and Love
lace and Sucking, survive today only
in the valentine.
And. ah, what memories these har-
-bingers of love bring with them! They
lead u$s back along the columbine-
bordered road to yesterday, over the
aSphodel meadows of Youth and First
Love and Childhood FancieS. and we
meet and kiss our first sweethearts
again-alas, 'they have gone out of
our lives these many years.
And so, dear little Valentine, accept
these violets and forget-me-nots, and
hug this message close to your heart.
for surely sweetheart is the sweeter
for valentine, and, as all wise men
know, it's love that makes the world
go round.
