Despite the fact that almost all the g00d old customs which were formerly attached to St. Valentine's day have la- mentably fallen into disuse and out of fashion, the little boys, and little girls, too, for that matter, managed to extract considerable fun out of the anniversary of that oc v fur confi his siste entines of all descriptions, loud of color, with distorted figures, bear- ing verses that read as if they had becn her in a sausage mill, were sent r sred v their friends with valentines caricatur- ing their slender and angular shapes, their corkscrew curis, their fondness for tea, cats and parrots and their hopeless yet persist > after horrid man.

Their valen- v pointed out the dreariness of their forlorn lives and advised them to forsake single ssedness’” and enter into the joys of married life. But even the senders of valentines are not consistent, for after sending valen~ tines to malds and bachelors criticizing m for the lonely lives which they are ling they sent valentines to the poor unfortunates who have been enticed into the married state. Husbands were ad- viged by the jovial senders of the valen- tines to stay home more o' nights, while the wives were given sundry hints not to piay the shrew and to be a little more lenient with their ““hubby’s” faults. People in all walks of life were the re- ciplents of valentines. Lawyers were twitted for their endless tongues, doctors and the dispensers of pills were advised to be more careful with their “dope.” Politicians who recelved valentines to the effect that their .work was coarse were forced to grin and bear it In the schools the small boy and girl had the most fun. When the schools were opened in the morning the teachers’ desks were piled high with comic valen- tines. Many a boy and girl took occasion to show their teachers how much they loved them by sending them valentines. The letter-carrier was the only one who did not appreciate the funny part of St. Valentine's day. His bag was simply loaded down with the ludicrous circulars. For the most part, however, St. Valen- tine’s day was one of mirth and good feeling, and those who receiwed valen- tines enjoyed the intended joke as much as the sender. ed wi v the — B. F.
