THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1896 | color, because I have never heard of the word | before, and just guessed at it, but I am sure | that the word to be found is valentine. Yours other, as both boys and_girls pressed for- ward for their turn. When she reached VALENTIN | a beautiful one and is such a| treasure that no matter how tempting the offer 1 should be | loath to part with it. [ts purchase price was not high, becanse 1 know that a certain little bank contained but a few paltry dimes. The materials of which my priceless treasure is wovenare only paper, wood and celluloid. I do not wonder that you are amazed when I call it “‘priceless.” The secret lies S came tome. Tt is | that I was, with a quick rush of the red | night, blood all over my face, even to the roots of my hair, “I've heard, too, that her daugh- ter, when at my age, was just the comeliest | maiden possible—so modest, so sensible | and loving, with bair resembling flax, These words caused grandmother to come closer, and scrutinizing my face she asked, “Why, what’s pat Mary Ball into | your head, child?"’ And not waiting for | reply added, *You cannot deceive your old graudmother. You might as well give | up now as atany other time.” And point- | ing to the still unopened valentine, while | N A e for the dark green gloss on the large leaves acted as reflectors, while suspended from the ceiling’s center were several rows of pink satin sash rib- bon, each piece hanging so gracefully that L | when the ends were fastened about four and cheeks like May blossoms.” | 1 eet below the cornice the ceiling was as effective and beantiful as the most critical fresco-painter could desire. Where each end was fastened there was a large bunch of magnolia leaves and candles assimilat- ing a side chandelier, and in the center of the ceiling there were magnolia leaves in profusion. No sooner was T in the drawing-room than my friend George Washington gal- lantly advanced and begged me to do him the honor of being his partner in the co- tillon, After that there followed many other dances, all of which he would ask me to dance; but Idid not forget he had sent me a valentine the night before, and, therefore, I decided to tease him by danc- ing with some of the other boys, especially with my particularly kind friend, young Custis. We had reels, cotillons and schottisches almost without number; but the dance just before supper wa anged for the occasion and called S lentine. Our | | hostess suddenly appeared in soft, fleecy white stuff, with spangled wings, as Venus, the goddess of love, her mother explained. First dancing one of the plan- tation dances that her old mammy had tanght her, she sang a song about valen- tines; then taking a gilded basket and coquetting through the drawing-room in the most graceful of reel steps, she gave a valentine to each guest. Then again dancimg another of the plantation dance: she as gracefully withdrew. George Washington I listened closely. She told him he would ride 1n a coach and six, and that “‘we’ve nuver seen such wondrous time as ‘Mars George 'll have’.” When the fortune-telling was concluded, Ilearned that it was already considerably | bevond the time to start home, and there- fore speedily made my adieux; a few moments later found me in our high- stevped carriage rapidly rolling out of the Oakland grounds. ““And thus ended the episode which I promised to tell you,” said Martha Wash- ington, the wife of the commander-: chief of the Continental army and Presi- dent of the United States, to the French officer De Grasse at the peace ball given in Fredericksburg. “Pardon, madam; not ended, but rather begun,” was the courtly response. ““Oh, what a lovely party!’ was the ex- clamation from many of the attentive lis- teners. “And why couldn’t we repeat it now?” was the immediate question. “Indeed I shall,”” said one of the girls, with a decided shake of her long curls. “My very next party will bean old Vir- ¥inia evening—dresses, dances, games and :}il.’LEmmu J. Gray in Harper’s Round Table. DONALD SERIES—NO. XVIL FOR TINY BOYS. Our funny little boy has made a garden, and I'm sure never before was garden made as his, and I feel certain that you will think just as I do when you read how he made it. One day, not long ago, his mamma gave him a small plat of ground “all for his very own,” and she also gave him a hand- ful of seeds, two kinds, nasturtium and sweet pea. As the ground was o soft after the rain, Donald scon had made many little holes 1n his plat, into which he poured his seeds, leaving them mixed. The next day the little boy received a present of asilver dollar, so the very first time he went uptown after this he spent bis dollar for a set of garden tools—a rake, nllwe and a spade—with good, long han- dles. Just as soon as they were delivered Mas- ter Donaid went to work. They were fine! He placed the spade on the ground, put his foot up on one side of it, pressed hard, and brought it up just full of dirt. Then he turned it over and chopped the dirt with the side of the spade, exactly as he | had seen Patrick, the garener, do. Well, in a shorter time than I can tell | you, Donald had his garden all spaded. |~ When little “Rags’ saw his master | workin hard he wanted to work, too. So every time Donald turned his back the doggie would dig as fast and as hard as he | could with his two front paws and his hiny nose besides, making the dirt fly ail over the yard. Donald did not like this atall.

Possessed of engaging manners and not too far advanced in years, a young woman, aided by her charms, imagined a new and successful way of gaining a dishonest ing. Her way was to stroll carelessly along, taking care to ogle the drivers of the delivery vans of the big shops. When she had fixed on a suitable victim she would ask him which way he was going. No matter to what quarter of the city his business led him, iv always happened to be the direction in which the fair maiden desired to go. She would ask him pressingly if he would object to taking her with him, and so save her the trouble of walking. ne times out of ten the coachman consented. The deceitful damsel then jumped up be- side the accommodating driver and made herself excessively agreeable, wheedling herself into the man’s favor that he quite forgot to keep an eye on his money bag at his_feet. Not so the female thief, for while keeping up the blanishments she would gr;u?uallv transMr the contents of the bag to her own pocket. The vehicle was then stopped and she would disappear, after gayly wishing her conductor good- day. It'was only when too Jate that the coachman discovered his loss. Unfortu- nately for the continued success of the plan, mademoiselle had a bad memory and did not remember faces. Recently she accosted a man who had already suf- fered from her depredations. He promptly accepted her requestand drove herstraight to the nearest police station, where he gave her in charge.—Paris Letter. — St e Miss Caroline B. Hendricks, a daughter of the late A. W.

A group of merry girls and bovs were talking with Mrs. General Washington one February evening when one of the number suddenly mguired: **Did yon ever get a valentine from the President To which came the ready reply, “Of course I did!” as a conscious smile rippled over the still beautiful though now elderly face. “And did you ever go to a valentine party when you were a girl?” “Why, of course I did,” and Mrs. Was| ington straightened herself more particu- larly in her ¥ back chair. *‘Oh, do tell us all about 1t!” And as she responded with a most in- auigent smile they gathered close to her.

Then the. youngest boy took one of the chairs made vacant by the girls. After seating himself it was noticed that he put a big coat over his lap, and making a big sewed on a button. And the hostess asked, “What does Charley represent?’’ The children could hardly reply for laugh ing, for the boy looked so demure and in- dustrions; but aiter a moment's hesitation tll.ere came the vigorous answer, “*A bach- elor.” Then Aunt Charlotte, an old negro woman, entered; she pretended to be a fortune-teller. And I afterwards learned her coming had been all arranged by the hostess, to whom I had been foolish enough to teli of the advent of my valentine. She approached me first, and prostrated herself, face downwards, on the floor. “Why, Aunt Charlotte!”’ I exclaimed, “do get up.’’ “Lor’, honey, I never specs to see de greates’ ladie in de lan’.’ “Well, stand up,” was my agitated re- ply, “and explain what you mean.’’ “‘Bless de chile!

One day a small boy named Delmore started for town. He had not gone very far when Longlegs | sawhim. Soon went Lonzlegs’ boot and away he strode after Delmore. Our little boy saw Longiegs coming, so he crawled under a rock that was near by; there to hide unti Tonglegs had passed. As nglegs came down the road he | | | | | made the earth shhke so much that Delmore was afraid the rock would fall on him.

A good fairy had seen all that took place, and, going up to the rock said, “‘Dear rock, because of your kindness to little Delmore T will reward you by caus- ing to grow near you the most beautiful flower in fairyland, and it shall be know all over the world as the California | pobpy.” As the fairy said these words she struck the earth with her wand near the rock and a beautiful golden flower sprang up. Since thattime we have found the poppy all over our hills and valleys. Salinas, Feb. 14. A Cradle Song. Tell me what shail we do, baby byey youand I?

When he walks he glides along with such a funny motion that even the most sedate have to laugh. Most people say, “Poor Wiggins,” he must be in misery you not cut short his days? But hisli mistress protests against such talk for she knows Wiggins is happy and enjoys life. When food is placed before him’ he performs most curious antics, for he is very greedy and tries hard to getall in sight before his com panions surpass him, but owing to_nis co struction when he bénds his head he oft misses the spot for which he nimed, especially when he gets a little excited by seeing his mates devour so much. But he never loses his patience; he only gives forth a chuckle, which scems to mean “Wiggins will get tirere.” When we first made his acquaintance he was very timid, and if one put their hand on him he squawked like aspoiled boy. Now he sits in the lap of his mistress, eats from her hand and they chatter away most knowingly. Can any of your little CALL readers guess who Wigginsi5? Well, he 1s my young Wyan- dotte rooster.
