It is evident that there is still a
market for comic valentines, although
the era of their popularity has long
sislce passed. Time was when anony-
NOUS senders experienced keen delight
in mailing uncomplimentary, hideous
caricatures to those who could only
guess from whom they came. A young
woman who was unmarried at Is might
in those days have received something
like the following:
'You awkward, skinny, lanky thing,
You chase Tom, Dick and Harry,
But they're too wise for you, old girl,
Don't think you'll ever marry"
The accompanying picture usually
portrayed hornely, ill-drawn figure of
an elderly spinster.
Unfortunately, anonymous letter writ
ers still flourish. Usually they indite
their malicious epistles on typewriter.
Few persons in the public eye escape

The victim chuckled. Cali wrong.
I'm six feet, have brown hair and gray

1t might be added that when the
salesman discovered he had been hoaxed
he apologized for annoying the artist.
Some one with slight talent for draw

maker and endeavored to prove it by
making sketches. This IS just another
