Tho old Stylo of thing, in tho line of Cupid's missives appropriate to the season, has gono out rather suddenly, and has been succeeded by an entirely novel fashion. In tho first place, tho long familiar comic valentines havo "gono out" entirely. Of course, ono may buy thorn at tho "penny stores" on alley corners, and, in all probability, .blml lar ones will bo sold in such places centuries hence. But they aro only for tho vulgar and tho very vulgar at that. Tho verses printed on them are usually abusive and often nasty, and persons who send them through tho malls are commonly inspired by mo tives of malice. The now style of humorous valentine appeals to tho tasto of decent people. It is really funny, and not calculated to injure anybody's feelings. Their only purposo seems to bo to engender cheerfulness and merriment, and such verses as accompany them aro not turned in a spirit of ridicule. They mako no fun of tho old maid favorite object of tho old-fashioned "comic" and aim no envenomed shaft at the physical peculiarity or moral weak ness of this or that recipient. Some of these new comic valentines aro pasteboard jiugle-jacks, cleverly designed, which nro made to undergo amusing contortions by tho pulling of a string. There Is a German hoy jlnglo Jackg with a satiBago In ono hand and a pretzel in tho other; an Irishman Jlnglo Jack, a schoolgirl Jln glo Jack with a slate In her hand, and a Topsy Jlnglo Jack carrying a slice of watermelon. Each ot ttyom bears on its breast a heart, with the Inscription, "To my Valentine." A delightfully comic goose, wear ing a nightcap and a shawl, with an umhbrclla of the "Gamp" pattern under Its wing, bears tho Inscription, "If you say no, and lot mo loose, you will be a great big goose." In an other valentine two pussy cats, at tired as howling swolls in pantaloons and dross coats, aro making lovo to a fashionably drcssod young Tabby in i skirts. This is called "Tho Rivals," ! and is particularly cute. i "Love's Telegrams" aro decidedly a novelty In tho line of valentines. They ! aro got up much after tho stylo of renl tolograms, nrd a printed warning at tho top state, that if thero bo any doubt as to tho accuracy of tho mes sage, "it can bo repeated verbally by tho sender on receipt of ten kisses." A flguro of Cupid carrying a pen thrust through a pair of hearts adorns tho telegram, which Is, as a mnttor of oouritj, written In verso, for oxamplo: To Jlv Valentin : Wire date can't wait be quick; I.ove-8lok no Juki- -heart broke. Quito as amusing lu its way Is the Valentino passport, which is got up in tho style, of tho documents lsauod by the department of state in Washington for the convenience of American citi zens going abroad. Tho seal on it bears tho words, "Department of Love." with a )air of hearts thrust 1 il MISSIVES through by an arrow. This kind of passpprt, is granted by tho Union of Ilenrts, and is nddrcssed to "My Sweet Valentino." At is signed by Hymen, and reads as follows: "I, the undersigned, secretary, of state of the Union of Hearts, do here by request nnd require, lu tho name of St, Valentine, that you allow (blank) to pass freely through tho realms of Love-; also that you afford to her (or him) every protection and encouragement lu the furtherance of her (or his) objects.." Then follows a description of the person addressed (eyes, mouth, hair and complexion), which Is filled In by the sender. Tito document Is given by Hymen "under my baud and seal on this Hth day of February, in the year of grace 1905." If tho character of tho comic valen tines has changed, the pretty nud rela tively serious ones aro equnlly differ ent from what they used to be. Fill gro paper and other long familiar in cidentals of tho old-stylo designs have disappeared and have been replaced by really artistic bits of color printing and decorative work. The old themes remain, but aro "illustrated," as one might say, in a new manner. In one of tho prettiest of the new valentines for this year a cupId Is shown in tho act of unlocking with' a big key1 a heart which takes the form of a largo padlock. It is a dainty conception, implying a hopo on tho part of thq bender that his particular key will provo a lit. An other winged child is riding on the back of "a dove, which carries In its beak an arrow. Tho paint of tho arrow Is 'inscribed, "Sweotheart, be ware!" and on tho other end are tho words: "Thy charms uro many, my merits few; yet I veuturo to offer my homago true.". A valentine Is hardly complete, whatever its design may be, without a cupjd. In ono of tho new ones Lovo is-playing on a mandolin and looking un at two doves billing. In another tho winged god la painting a picture on a heart-shaped plaque. Above his head aro hung on a line several simi lar plaques, each of them bearing the portrait of a pretty woman. Perhaps tills volentlno Is meant to bo sent to a young man accused of fickleness. A big heart of violets lnc.loses the whole. Obviously for a young man is a henrtshaped Valentino bearing tho words "Good luck" and ornamented with pictures of cigarettes and play ing cards. Thus playfully are tho llttlo masculine woaknosaos touched up, and In no spirit of unamlablo criti cism. Designs with colorod cuplds wing ed plpkaninnios with their wool done np In llttlo twists are moro than half humorous. But nono of the new stylo of comic valentines have any suggestion of malice In them, or even of rldtculo. They nro Just pleasant and friendly greetings, appropriate to tho anniversary of the good saint who is supposed to be especially the I patron of lovers BBBOBarasnBi The Great Nonesuch Remedy ST.
