THIRTY YEARS OF IT.
OPENS GRAVE FOR A PICTURE.
UCH quaint and attrnctlvo.
valentines nro shown in
the shops this season that
the giving of them will
doubtless llnd more favor
with children and grown-
ups, too, than It has In
many years. For, unlike tho average
type, that Is so perishable, theso are
more substantial like pictures and
arc really ornamental enough to hang
on a wall or to uso on a bedroom
table. They differ from tho ordlnnry
styles in that there are comparatively
few verses or lines relating to the
clay or conveying messages of love.
In addition to these changes, there Is
another marked one, that Is the ah
sonco of glittering gold or sliver
decorations, which savo the valen
tines from being gaudy. Tho colors
used are conservative, too, and alto
gether they will mako desirable pres
ents for girls nnd young women, for
they are free from silly sentimen
tality and arc quite artistic in de
sign. y

rect In every detail, even to the step
and the shield on tho door. Tho win
dows in the coach are heart shape,
as is the door, while tho wheels are
most elaborate and full of significance,
for each spoke is an arrow and is
apparently run through a dark red
heart.
Three pretty girls look out of the
windows, while the coachman and
footman on top, garbed in white, drive
.three white woolly lambs that are har
nessed to the coach with red silk
.white and red, with a touch of blue.
As a wall decoration this valentine
'would be most appropriate.
Though not as unusual as the coach,

Is decidedly effective and really ser
viceable, for It is made of stiff paper
and could be used.
Cards that may be used as book
marks or to hang on gas jets, a knob
or a dresser or bureau, are always
acceptable. Some of these, made in
Dutch designs that aro so popular, aro
stunning because of tho combinations
of colors and the quaint costumes
worn by the peasant children, who
are shown in tho act of carrying wa
ter. Heart cards, with cuplds, red
hearts and arrows are also pretty and
are always in demand.
TOASTS TO 8UIT THE DAY.
In Honor of St. Valentine All Should
Treat of the "Gentle Pasilon."
Even if nothing stronger than cof
fee be on tho table, a dinner is not a
dinner unless some toasts be offered.
There are many books from which ap
propriate toasts may be given,
For Instance, there is tho sailor toast
"Here's to our sweethearts and wives;
may tho latter always remain tho
former, and tho former soon become
the latter;" and there is dear old Rip
Van Winkle's sentiment:
"Hero's to your health and your
family's, and may you live long and
prosper."
But sometimes something a trlfio
out of the ordinary seems to bo in
order, and such an occasion, surely,
is St Valentine's day. All tho toasts
on this occasion should, of course,
treat of "the gontlo passion," and tho
moro original they are the better.
Often, If tho toastmakor is clever,
he or she can glvo tho toast a personal
turn. Often, too, tho simpler It is the
better, especially for amateur speak
ing. Looking Forward.

Too Interesting to Bury.
There is a certain little southern
girl who Is very fond of her negro
mammy. The nurse's name is Sally,
and she is a large woman, so she is
known as Big Sally. Ethel, however,
calls her "Biggie" for short. One day
her mother took her to a museum,
where, among other things, there were
some stuffed animals. Ethel was
greatly interested, and for many days
she did not tire of talking about them.
Perhaps a week later, at the supper
table, after a preoccupied silence, sho
said:
"Mamma, when Biggie dies I'm not
going to have her burled; I'm going to
have her stuffed!"
