HISTORY 0F FIRST
 VALENTINE MAKING
Chicago Arts Club Has Curious
 Collection Of Originals

Chicago, March S.-A curious col lection of old valentines which the Arts club exhibited here recently re- calls the story of woman whom the students of Mt. Holyoke college toast every year on February IA. She was Miss Esther Rowland, who made the first American valentines and the first valentines in which printed verse was used. Her work is liberally repre- scented in the collection, which is that of Mrs. Emma B. Hodge, and which was loaned to the Arts Club for the purpose of the exhibit by the Art h. stitute of Chicago.
 Where First Made.
 Miss Rowland was graduated from Mt. Holyoke in 1S47, when higher education for women was an innova- tion. Valentines were first made in England and England had mon opoly of their manufacture for many years. In fact, a valentine from England, the first which she had seen, gave Miss HowIand the idea upon which she based her work. It was two years after her graduation when she was at her home in Worcester. Mass. The English valentine, which is in Mrs. Hodges collection, has an ella borate border of lace paper with flowers pasted upon it. A tiny note reposed in small pocket in the cen ter Miss Howland's father, who was i stationer imported a few of these valentines and his daughter thought she could improve them She made some from lace paper, colored paper and paper flowers, and persuaded her brother, who travelled for her father. to take them with him as samples. He returned to bewilder her with orders amounting to s5.000.
 Large Orders Come
 Miss Howland enlisted the aid of her friends to fill these orders. The following year she had doubled her working force. Soon she found her self with a valentine factory on her hands, and was importing materials from Germany. She made further Innovations, including the use of silk. She originated the idea of embossing Autograph ornaments which was util- ized by a firm in Germany Mean while the American or Worcester Valentine became famous, and in a few years Miss Howland was sending out goods worth s100,000.
 The traditions with which Miss Howland's work was associated are ancient as well as sentimental, for observance of St. Valentines Day has been held to be revival of the Ro- man Lupercalia, and bears the name of a Christian martyr of the third century According to one story the martyr wrote d message of love on the day of his execution, February IA, to his jsier's daughter and sign ed it Your Valentine" The day was long observed with various customs before commercial use was made of the sending on that day of amatory messages.
 Many Good Verses
 The verses on many of the valen- tines in this collection express do- mestc ideals, and the wasp whisted maidens depicted on them have meekly downcast eyes. Here and there, however there is an exception. In one case an upstanding amazon calmly directs Cupid as he aims at a languid youth, who, gl&ncing up from

 How many powders were con tained in the prescription" Barry ig nored her query.

 Barrys hand went to his pocket and he drew forth the little box and gave it to her. She seized it eager. fly.
 Yes, this is it, of course." Then she opened it and wave of aston ishment and horror swept over her face. Why, there are only six here; half of them are gone! If anyone had taken them all they would never nave aWdkehen.
 What would be the effect of 1 three?"

 "1 don't know yet, Barry replied adding in a significant tone: Did your hot milk taste all right last night, Miss Tudor?"
 The hot milk" she exclaimed "I don't think that it did, now that you remind me of it. It seems to me that there was a chalky quality in it and the touch of acridness that one some times notices in buttermilk like fermentation! But Laurel drank it with me. She took more than I Could those powders have been mixed with if, and killed herr"
 No, it would only have produced a sleep a little more profound than your own Barry replied. You may have suffered slightly from your share of it this morning. but I think something else was tho matter too. The symptoms you described to me are identical with those induced by q slight inhalation of the gas which killed your cousin"
 "Fay' Mrs. Tudor's gentle voice sounded from the porch. My dear, where are you?"
 Coming directly, Aunt Clara" Fay turned to the detective in swift dismay. "Oh, you see that I must go."
 Just one question more" Barry detained her with gesture. T thought that Captain Warren was a stranger to your aunt, as he is to the neighborhood. How does it hap pen that he dned here tonight?"
 He has offered his services to us

 "'In advance!'" echoed Barry. What in the world do you mean 2"
 That feller thats been frightening servants. stealing boat cushions and clothes, and getting In and out of houses without anybody knowing how he does 1t. He's the one we're after, and we moan to look out to nab him tonight If we can"
 Who's we?" Barry inquired.
 "The two gentlemen that are here for dinner tonight and Frank and me. You can come along If you want to-" Huse responded patronizingly. Tt seems that Frank has been scouting thinks he has found traces"
 The sergeant accepted Hulse's in vitation to the man hunt that eve ming carelessly enough. but as soon as dinner was over managed to elude him and enter the hall just AS the others emerged from the dining room.
