old Love TOKENS
q
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-
tion, written in verse from very full
heart and on plain paper. Many of
our great-grandmother saved these
old missiyes.
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
grandma's heart did palpitate and the
bushes rise to her cheeks! No mat
ter how halting the sonnet, or ana
gram or triolet, it 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
school children and few open-hearted
interested grown-ups 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 or florists shop and
orders candy or flowers sent to Her.
He scorns the valentine sonnet
whereby the girls of today are missing
heap Of romance.
This 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. 1t
meant a heartless trifer.
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-sentimental
valentine and has almost died out. In
stead of pointing out the recipients
perfections and charms it ;dwells vivid

nerisms, clothes and appearance, i'll
colored caricature. Red hair, large
noses, blotched compilations, remark
able skinniness or avoirdupois are us
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.

.CUP'||D's own DAY
Fourteenth Of February Belongs
to Him Alone.
Anniversary Brightens the Drab Month
i, With Memories Of the Past and
| Joy Of the Present.

Frightening the dull, drab month Of
tSebruary 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-
lme-not daintiness from the shop win
dows.
There are elaborate "lnillionaire'
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-
lets and fOrget-me-nOts. And hidden
away, like a billet douX in bouquet,
q little verse:
This heart, sweet love, ! send to you,
Together with these violets blue;
And If you like this heart of mine,
pray you be my valentine.
Could anything be more simple or
direct to the point? AS unerringly as
Cupid'S darts or a beau's rapier, the
verse carries its message home. 1t
may be that the Elizabethan lyrics,
the love songs of Herricll and Love
lace and Sucking, survive today only
In the valentine.
And, ah, what memories these har-
bfhgers Of love bring with them They
lead US 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 a sweetheart is the sweeter
for valentine, and, as all wise men
know, tits love that makes the world
go round.

NOT LONG AGO
AT one of the movies a child was
following the picture interestedly,
when the setting changed to an elab-
orately furnished room, in the center
of which stood a luxurious bed. The
heroine was just emerging from the
silken coverlets to flee, at the mid
night hour, from the scene of her
misery. AS she slipped into conven-
iently placed boudoir slippers and
reached for a fluffy negligee, the
child's disappearing voice broke the
tense silence. Mother she whis-
pered hoarsely. Mother, look at that.
