THE WORLD: SATURDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 1905, and Unb lor th Sh Sy UPID“has been busy with love tokens and C sentimental rhymes for so long that one would think that he would weary of both, but bleeding hearts and tender verses are as much in vogue as ever, with Cupid and St, Valentine the arch congpirators. A look from brown eyes into blue, A kiss, a blush, a sigh or two, And all the world seems made anew It is sentiment of this sort which for one day in the year, at least, most appeals to maldens,and cavallers, The day when fate and fortune may be foretold, although maids no longer have license co haunt thelr lovers’ windows, Ophella, in her madness, sings, ‘And I a maid TA a Jf wat your window, to ‘be your Valentine.” “But every damsel on the early morn of St. Valentine's Day must look through the Keyhole of the house door, If she sees only a single ob- ject or person, she will remain single all the year. If she sees, how- ever, two or more objects or persons, she will have a sweetheart, and that at no distant time. The maiden who desires to know the oecupa- tion of her future lege lord and master must grate a nutmeg, @ ‘hazel nut and a walnut, mix with butter and sugar, and partake of the mystic confection before retiring.

The name of sweethearts may be discovered in various ways, One method is to write different names upon slips ot paper, roll each one in a bit of clay and throw them Into a basin of water. The true sweetheart rises first To dream of one’s love on St, Valentine's Eve all one needs to do is to pin a bay leaf to each corner of the pitlow and one in the centre, and then, just before retiring, to eat a hard boiled egg, with salt placed where the yolk had been, If i" *RETANE” HAT IN _ Brack NEAPOLIT. in dreams, no lover appears bearing a cup of water to appease the thirst of the maiden, then for another year, or until St, Valentine again comes round, a loveless Ife she must lead, An entertainment for St, Valentine evening is a heart party, for which in- vitations should be sent out on rose- tinted stationery, with ‘Hearts’ writ- ten in one corner. The game of cards called “Hearts” should be the special feature of tne evening, and the prizes offered should be heart-shaped; a bit of jewelry, sweets In neart-shaped boxes, and the like, For the dance, partners are chosen in the following manner: Suspend by ribbons two pure white doves or carrier pigeons, and hanging , from thelr necks, by pink and blue rib- bons, place small envelopes, each con- taining half of a familiar quotation, Girls take the blue, men the pink and holders of complete quotations are “artners, Cupid's messages this season are more beautiful and expensive than ever, Several attractive and arrtistle examples of them are reproduced on this page,
