RBTROBUTtON. ' gj»gl A&tVALEKT!MIEl5 BAY REVERIE* j£Stk : It was the fourteenth day of February ' and- the lovely Estelle was sitting in her luxurious boudoir when a package was handed her which she opened and exclaimed with innocent delight: , "It is a valentine!” How exquisite this wreatlr Of hand painted roses—delicately tinted, as all tea-roses should be. And this little pocket! What can it contain? A ring. ' Amazing. And written on it this mot to: “Think of me." There are no Cup ■ Ids, with bows and arrows, and lines, rhyming with love and dove, charms and alarms, rain and pain, etc.—but a neat blank verse expressing regard and admiration, and conveying no hint of the donor or other information than that he was one unknown to her, who for the loves of art and travel, which had always ruled his life, would soon be far away on the other side of the blue waves. Estelle took the ring from its hiding place and slipped it on her finger, curi ous to know if it fitted, then her maiden modesty suggested that she ought not f to accept and wear a gift from an un < known giver—and she withdrew it quickly from her finger and determin ed to return it. But now the question arose: to whom? where? After reasoning with her conscience she again put in on her finger. It fitted nicely and produced a mysterious pre sentiment of coming bliss, and a sensa tion about her heart which she had never known before painted her cheek with the lovely color of the tea roses on her valentine, and she said emphatic ally, “He shall be my ideal; I can con struct him as I like—I shall make him as handsome as Apollo and as gifted; and who can chide me if I become a hero worshiper?” And he only asks that I think of him. Her soliloquy and state of curiosity were interrupted by a friend and con» rade of the art school/ Mrs. • Bird, ! a wjdowlady.of wealth and an enthus-1 1st about art,1 like herself, ’ Whose er rand” was to prbpdbe a Journey together to. the cradle-of art*. .Estelle; was only too giqd to accomp^pyJj)er and.accept ed without, hesitation. A feeling she boultt* hot account for prevented her - -i, 'from showing her valentine or speak ..i ing untll long afterward of the little ' talisman that now seemed almost like v A betrothal ring. The congenial friends made their trip a series of delights— •• and would have regretted reaching their destination so soon if they had not been Just in time” for one of those annual fetes which the American club of artists delight to celebrate. As they were speeding along on their pleasure jaunt seated on the deck of a comfortable beat watching their com panions and enjoying a delicious breeze and the varied scenery—mountain, crag, castle, monastery and dark forest —Estelle observed a picturesque look ing young man, artistically dressed, as suited the occasion, gazing with a sur “HER ARTIST FRIEND.” prised and earnest look at herself. His rich brown hair and glowing eyes of the same color reminded her of her •; Ideal, the beautiful hero whom her im agination had created, and she felt the ' linger encircled by. the mysterious ring give a little throb in unison with her heart beat. At this moment to her sur i prise her friend Mrs. Bird gave him a smile and nod of recognition and before she had time to recover from her confusion of mind, Mrs. Bird requested permission to introduce her artist friend, Henry St. Leger, and she very soon found herself absorbed in conver sation with the most attractive man she twtd ever met. But it was long after this, on another St. Valentine day, when the artist friends nomeward bound, sat gazing down into the dark blue waves—that she laughingly gave an account of her first valentine and the little circlet of gold, which she observed, but did not know why, attracted his attention and excited his curiosity, that he ventured to tell of his long years’ study and self denial, whilst at the same^ time he had followed and worshiped a star which he thought too far above him to be ob tained, but which he now, by the aid of St. Valentine, hoped would ever more be his guiding spirit E. A St. Valentine Dinner. The New York Herald offered a prize of $25 for the best design in table deco rations for a St. Valentine dinner of six. A large number of drawings were submitted, and the prize was awarded to the design herewith presented. The table is seven feet by four and a half. The cloth is white satin damask and the center-piece a diamond shaped, THE. piKN^TABJ^n'; ' ; tI plate glass mirror, eighteen. Inches long by fourteen vide/ Hearts flbebout this outlined as solidly as possible In red carnations. Within the hearts stand five branched silver candelabra, with red candle-shades. Three small heart shaped cut glass dishes filled with heart-shaped chocolates, peppermints and wintergreens, and one with salted almonds, are placed near the candel abra. At the corners of the table are flat looped bows of satin ribbon,five Inches wide, with long ends reaching to the bottom of the table cloth. On each bow Is placed a slender cut glass vase, eight een inches high, with twelve American Beauty roses arranged carelessly. The ribbon should match the roses. From the chandelier four ribbon streamers, four inches wide, of the same shade, are suspended and fastened on to a rose in each vase. In the center a carrier dove Is hung, with a small white en velope attached to its neck by a silver cord. At each cover are four forks, four spoons, two knives and five glasses, for water, champagne, claret, sherry and cordial. On the napkin Is placed . a white linen picture frame, heart-shaped and embroidered with solid red hearts, outlined in gold. In them may be In serted either the dinner cards or a suit able valentine verse, but who knows if there might not one day be slipped into some of these pretty favors the present ment of that very face which maidens long to dream of on St. Valentine’s Eve? To secure the vases to the table, a simple device may be employed. Sew a piece of kid the size of the standard of the vase, in the center of each bow, then sew each in turn firmly to the tablecloth, and underneath, to the same place, sew a piece of tape in the middle, leaving the ends to tie to the legs of the table or tack underneath. Mix plaster of parts with water to the consistency of cream, moisten the kid with water and spread a thin layer of the plaster over it. If the vase is placed thereon and held firmly till the plaster sets, no unpleasant disaster like overturning it need be dreaded.
