OIden Valentine
Proving Popular
| In Alexandra

If Alexandria youths are deluged
with old-fashioned leap-year Valen-
tines tomorrow, it may be because
Mrs. Walter Nicklin gave the girls
the idea by putting copy of VAL
entine of 60 years ago in the Win
dow of her drugstore in the George
Mason Hotel. Since it has been in
the window, dozens of girls have
been busy copying it to get a line
on something they'd like to know.
A plain sheet Of writing paper has
eight small colored bows pinned on
it, and under each bow is an appro-
pirate verse. A yellow bow says, If
you are some other girls fellow
return my bow of Yellow; the blue
bow is more hopeful, with IF to me
you will be true, return my bow of
blue; under red bow reads. If to
me you will be wed, return my bow
OF red; another, If to me you
won't come back, return my bow OF
black" Others read: If you have
turned me down, return my bow OF
brown and If with me you will
elope, return my bow of heliotrope. /"
One of Mrs. Nicklin's contempo-
raries wanted the Valentine to send
to girl" who sent him a similar
one so years ago, when he was g.
He returned the bow of yellow and
proved his point many years later
by marrying another girl.
Wartime shortages gave Mrs.
Nicklin the idea Of reviving olden
times by using her drugstore win
dow to show homemade things
popular in grandma's day.

traditions, even while paying lip
service to them"
Mr.. McKeldin said these pei sons
have not yet learned Lincoln's OBJ
servation that you can't fool all of
the people all of the time"
