Winter Shelters A Story for

Now you know, old snow, that
you can he very, very cold if you
want to be.
You know, too, that you can be

fall where you will be a shelter
from Mr.. North Wind.
"Mr North Wind, we know, is

But we will tell you what to

Here, in the woods, you fall

the holes and hOllOws where the
rabbits can get shelter, but fall

No Change in
Heart Appeal
of Valentine

In days Of old girls got their thrills
From Valentines all fred with frills
While we go in for simpler stuff,
Tell 'em nothin'; treat 'em rough.
But we are none the less sincere:
Come be my Valentine, oil dear!
There you have 1t! The Valen-
tine greeting of 1881 and one which
If seen by grandmamma would send
the shivers down the poor old crea-
ture's spine. For when she
was a girl maidens lisped and faint
ed at even the mere thought of a
Valentine from the favored one
but times have changed and
no more do handsome swains send
their lady loves turtle doves in
lacy nests by Cupid's arrows. .
The sweet passionate symbolism
and lifting rhymes Of the quaint old
Roman custom started for lovers
centuries ago have gone into the
chest of forgotten things.
Valentines today are overfowing
with messages of frank brutality.
They are far from sugary and their
frankness and sophisticatiOn is
supposed to result at least in a
companionate marriage if not in a
temporary affair. For instance let
us compare a rhyme of the By
ronic era with one of today. The
earlier one went:
If love were what the rose Is
And | were like the leaf
Our lives would grow together
In sad or springy weather.
Then this one:
How delicious is the winning
OF a kiss at loves beginning,
When two mutual hearts are sigh
ing
For the knot there's no untying.
For the boy friend who is irked
by the high hattishness of his IA
vored one this is a dandy little
token Of affection a la 1881:
Your conceit and assurance
Hand me quite laugh,
For your friends say you haven't
The sense of calf.
Heaven help us. 1t Is an age
where there is no romance. Not
even in a Valentine. Focus your

The point is aptly illustrated in
the picture, which portrays a

for this costume is sheer wool

this costume is brown, as are also
the dainty kid shoes which are of
the fashionable one-strap type.
There are several especially in

about this crepe-wool ensemble,
one of which is the fact that hand
fagoting gives an air of distinction
to both the sleeveless frock and to
its matching jacket. Note also the

He belonged to one of the earliest
of the Christian families and was
terribly ambitious in the church.
There was, however, a vilainous
creature residing in Rome at the
time. one named Governor Cal
purnius, who was pagan, and
threw Valentinus into prison for
his religious undertakings. The
inevitable happened. Valentinus
fell for the keepers daughter. All
the time he was in prison he
amused himself by cutting curious
designs out of paper, on some Of
which he wrote pious exhOrtatiOns
and assurances Of love to the lady.

mails can creep inside"
Now the snow decided it would
do just as the fairies had asked.
1t fell steadily all day.
Snow banks. snow drifts, every
where there was snow. The trees
were heavy with it. Little boys
and girls who had put away their
sleds until next winter brought
them out and began sliding down
the hills as quickly as they could.
But the little birds and the little
animals couldn't get warm sliding
down hill.
They couldn't get warm like
grownups who could wear heavy
coats and wraps.
They couldn't get warm as horses
could who had kind masters to put
rugs over them as they waited in
the streets.
AS soon as the little creatures
felt Mr.. North Wind and saw that
ii was beginning to snow, they
trembled and shook all over.
They thought that they would
feel the cold so much after the
warm weather.
But to their great surprise, they
didn't feel cold at all They found
all the little holes and hollows
protected from the snow.
At first they went inside, always
looking out to see that the snow
didn't bury them.
When the snow saw the squirrels
in the parks whisking their
bushy tails and heard them say:
THE snow is really lovely and
not hit cold" and heard the lit
tie birds whispering:
This is wonderful, we don't
shiver at ALL" then the snow was
ever so glad ii had fallen as the
fairies had asked.
And oh, it felt so nice to have
the cool snow again and the fresh
clear air.

IN THE days of good Queen Anne
there lived lovely peasant
maid in the village of Lanreath
which lies on the emerald bosom
OF Cornwall, midway between those
gems of traditional lore, Looe and
PolperrO. Her name was Lacy
and there was not single swain
in all the community that would
not willingly have laid down his
life for her-eXcept one; the one
who loved her, perhaps. most of
all. His name was Richard. Men
smiled with a cOntemptuOus curl
of the lips when he passed by.
He wore no sword; he was gen.
tie; lover of peace; reader of
books. 1t was so he came to be
called a seeker after soft living
in a day and age when the creed
of men was everlasting strife and
bloodshed.
And Lacy loved Richard; loved
him for his Ssensitiveness; loved
him for the romance that lived
within him, manifesting itself in
glowing words and tender, pas
sionate little verses which he would
bring her often on bended knee
But Lacy, loving Richard. would
not assure him of it. Not until he
proved himself the superior Of all
her bold and swashbucking suitors
in that mental province known as
bravery.
1t must be remembered that Lacy
lived in a time when to WOO and
capture wOman'S love was a mat
ter of mettle rather than mind.
One night Richard and Lacy
strolled in the velvet dusk on wide
Lanreath moor, faint stars above
them presaging midnight brilliance.
1T is said that Greatover rode
the moor last night, Richard" Lacy
said, a sudden decision forming
within her mind.

is fully dark. Perchance he will be

The day was once the Roman
Lupercalia, the festival at the be-

had the right to express his affec-

sentiment such as pervades the
valentines popular in America,
which read "To Baby" ITO Moth

THERE is a disposition on the
l. part of millinery fashionists to
combine different materials and to
contrast cclors. Either they use
a fabric with a straw or they work
one fabric with another or one
straw with another straw. At the
same time colOrs are apt to be
contrasted, or If preferred, accu-
rately matched.
Black with white Is again i'm

ise that navy blue with white will
be as popular this spring as the

have been during the preceding
