When Valentines COun /

THERE are lot OF people in
- this world who never harm
anyone. They are what 1
call "passively good" Yet I can
count on one hand the friends
who are what L call actively
good" the people who remem-
Der your little likes and dislikes,
the people who do the little
thoughtful things, the things
which warm your heart and
make you feel that life is good
after all. And they are not great
big, heroic deeds. They are Just
the simple little notes Of thanks,
the unexpected birthday card,
the little gestures which show a
nature turned outward toward
society, not inward on selfish
ness and desires of self.
Surely the world would be a
good deal happier if there were
more of these people, ard surely
it is a characteristic which can
be inculcated into our children

and so o.. But 1 loved them,
Then after breakfast I started
my serious business of making
valentines. Plain, white paper,
plain red paper, a pattern of a
a heart, a pencil, and white
squares. I pasted the hearts
on in different patterns for
hours at time. Then in the
afternoon l put the valentines
in basket and we started out,
slipping one under the door of
each friend, which included,
remember, a negro down the al
ley, my grandmother, the fam
lily dentist and our landlady,
who had nine children but who
had never gotten a valentine
until I gave her one. A hetero-
geneous collection of folks, to
be sure. but it is surprising the
happiness a bit of paper given
by a little child can bring to
older people who feel that TO-
nance has gone and that valen-
tines will come no more.
And I remember that mother
always had me try to think of
someone who would be very sur
prised to get one, some old per
son or sick person, who didn't
expect the Saint to stop any
more. Surely this was one of
my first lessons in looking out

and it is one 1 value.

ness and help them give happi-
ness to others.
I love Saint Valentines Day,
and I think this is because it
was always such a happy day
when l was child. Money
was the thing around our house
that there was the least Of
thank goodness! Little things
we made each other, little cakes
we stirred up, little flowers we
gathered in summer time and
bedecked the table with all
constituted anniversaries or
birthday parties, and such hap
py ones. And on Valentines
Day! Oh my, but I was a busy
individual.
Mother started the day by
dressing re, of course, and this,
although I always knew just
what to expect. never lost its
excitement or JOY. For in each
sleeve. in a pocket. in each
stocking and shoe was a note

angry face. And she didn't
have to live in a little old back
street the way I do!-the way I
do-and then you boast of all
the money you're making, you
tight-fisted--"
Words failed her, and so did
her voice. Choking on the
Jumps that seemed to be rising
in her throat, she jumped up
and flew into her bedroom. She
locked the door behind her and
threw herself on the bed, cry
ing and sob5ing into the pillows.
She heard Tom come to the
door. She heard him say some
thing about crying over moth
ing at all" She heard him
rattle the do9rknob and ask her
to let him in.
But she paid not the slightest
bit of attention to him. He
went away presently.
An hour later when she I'M
locked the door he was sound
asleep on the sofa in the living
room. He had his overCoat
over him for a blanket. She
let him sleep there all night.
On Saturday afternoon he
came home with two pieces of
news for her.
He had opened a charge &C
count for her in the best furni-
ture store in town. And he was
going to Allen Alderson's to a
poker party that night.
AIS having some men in for
dinner and a game" he told
her politely. "Aline's gone out
of town over the Weekend"
Lovejoy wondered where Aline
was. She had said nothing to
her about going out of town
for the weekend.
We'll, Tom, you promised me
you'd take me to the movies
tonight" she said sharply. But
l suppose you forgot that the
minute Al asked you over to
his house"
Tom shook his head. NO"

been at that telephone for over
an hour, making engagements
for tomorrow. I think you're
working too hard-and besides
I wanted to go to the movies
tonight. I said I did, before
dinner"
Tom nodded, dropped down
into his chair in front Of the
fireplace.
Yes" but you've often told
me that you want some money
too" he reminded her, reach
ing for his pipe and his box
of tobacco. And if I'm going
to make money I'll have to
work nights every once in a
while. You could have
taken Mrs. Bennett to the NOV
les with YOU"
Mrs. Bennett" Lovejoy
echoed with SCorn in her voice.
She's my idea of nobody"
The BENEFITS were a couple

yellow house that was the twin
of the Nicholson's green one.

he answered, IT forgot it last
night when you told me you'd
rather stay home on Saturday
night than go to the MOVIES
with me-"
Lovejoy bit her lip.
"All right. Go ahead then"
she said. She did not speak to
him again that evening.
He left the house at seven,
going out by way of the back
door.
At two minutes after seven
Lovejoy was telephoning Steve
Oglebay.
Steve, if you're not doing
anything special tonight I'd like
to see you" she told him. III

He said that eight o'clock
would be all right, and Love
Joy rang off.

She was tense with excite
ment as she dressed She
could hardly believe that she
was doing this. Getting dressed
to go out and meet Stephen
Oglebay. Getting dressed to
keep a tryst. Cheating.
I'm a bad wife. she told her
starryeyed smiling reflection in
the mirror.
She didn't care whether she
was a bad wife or not that
night All she cared about
was getting out of the house,
just then.
I'm not going to be left alone
on Saturday nights when every
body else is having a good time
somewhere, she thought. back
ing Toms car out of the drive

to sit alone and twiddle my

Mr.. Bennett was pale, quiet,
young man who had some kind
of a little store of his own
somewhere. Mrs. Bennett was
small and plain and badly
dressed always.
She had three children who
went to school. She made all
of their clothes and did her
own homework. She did it as
if she enjoyed it. Sometimes
Lovejoy would hear her sing
ing at the top of her voice
when she came out into the
back lrd to shake rugs or
hang clothes on the line.
We'll, cheer up, I'll take you
to the pictures myself tomorrow
night" Tom promised her
Soothingly. It'll be Saturday
night, and I can stay up late.
And afterWard l may go so far
as to buy you a soda. Wen

He laughed at his mild joke.
But Lovejoy ground her teeth
The worst Of it was
that that was exactly Toms
idea of a good time. To take
her to the piCture-shoW and
have a chocolate soda at SChu-
ler'3 Drug Store on the way
home.
mo thanks. l don't care to
go to the movies on saturday
night" she snapped at him.
If I can't do something really
gay and startling on Saturday
night 1 don't want to do any
thing! I'd rather stay at
home and read a book or go
to bed!"
She stood up and stalked off
to her bedroom now. her eyes
bright with angry tears that
he did not see.
After ten minutes she came
back to him. She had put on
her nightgoWn, and she looked
like a lovely half grown girl
instead of a mother and a
help-mate. Her face was
flushed and her gray eyes
seemed to blaze i nthe fire
light.
Tom" she said and dropped
down on the floor at his feet.
Tom, do you ever wish we had
taken Aunt Ems advice and
waited for a year or two be-
fore we married each other?
I think I do, Tom. I wish
I hadn't settled down so Soon."
She laid her head on his
knees so that he couldn't see
the tears that were coming
into her eyes once more.
She felt his hand on her
hair, moving over it gently.
You don't care for me any
more, do you, bOVejOy?" His
voice was very low in her ear.
You're sick and tired of me-"
He seemed to know it.
But LoveJoy shook her head.
