it possible to take sustenance on the day
dedicated to the saint, and the letter

the day wn a rontinium trtiKi:le on the
part of all concerned to perform Impossi

btiKy day, indeed, but the work "tin be

receive and distribute million of them
during tlie twenty-four hour preceding
Christmas noon. The mighty London
ofhoe Iiii hnd to deal with fifteen mill
ion of Christina parcel, packets nnd
letters, Including three ton of registered
merchandise.
It I supposed that much of the loving
correspondence of St. Valentine has been
tninsferred to Christmas, which come
twii months "itrlier. Tbi 1 the opinion
of the postofliee clerk, who seem to think
that the mail-producing faculty of man
I limited, and that what Christmas has
gained must have been wubtnieted from
St. Valentine.
It Is more probible that the abuse of
(he privilege of being silly .11 the day
consecrated to that saint has evinted a re
liction and made people nslin-u -d to join
the throng of valentine more to .lish than
fond. True lover, however, will know-
how to avail themselves of the opportuni
ties the day afford, and we ony be sure
that St. Valentine will con'-iuie to be
one of the nmst popular saiut.s ill the calendar.--

The postman has more valentines than

The New Shoe.
In reply to the question what Is tlie
finest and smartest shoe of the season,
a fashionable New York shoemaker
snld: "It Is made of dongola skin, a
species of (oat skin, and very well
does this wear. It Is the boot which
has taken the place of the French kid,
and we have this dongola kid glazed,
making It thus a little nioro dressy

not get our orders out for the calfskin

Sartorially speaking, it is dangerous
to pour old wine into new bottles. Vet
it is such a fascinating thing to do. It
begins when economy lires the soul.

And then words fail you from sheer
admiration of your own scheme. You
posed of n succession of small white
stars are effective, and one of tlie most
charming novelties shows both, stripes
and diamonds made up of tiny open
dots of while embroidery. Checks in
gray ami white nre also smart, particu
larly so when arranged In bottino
effect.
get the thing dyed ami go straightway
and purchase new fur for its trim
ming. Vou get il "touched up" by an
inexpensive dressmaker and you do
part on a visit to another city with the
old-new frock in your trunk and joy in
your economic heart. One day you
essay your refurbished gown and you
lind that the thing has shrunken in tho
dyeing, a ml now the skirt skates cheerily
high above your boot, tops in front and
drags dolorously in the back from tlie
weight, of the fur and the lack of hair
cloth. 'lit" sleeves are loo short, and the
una sizes so small that yon sillier every
minute you have the bodice on. The
new fur is deplorably out of place nu
the dyed cloth, and the seams show
rusty, every one, while you have occu
pation a plenty in picking, out the love
ly inscriptions in white cotton which
the dyers have placed thereon to indi
cate that, you are Xty Mxz or some
thing eiiually cheering and inspiring.
So the gow n goes back to the trunk, or
is cast into the limbo of the ragbag,
and the Joy dies from your heart while
you rolled upon old bottles nnd new
wine and the fallacies of economy.
Good Advice.
Mother, when your child goes to a
neighbor's house don't ask as soon as
he comes home, "What wore Ciey do
ing':" "How were they dressed V and
"Was Miss Jennie's beau tliere"' Don't,
I say. lo you know you are teaching,
him a habit which will give him the
unenviable reputation of a tnttle:1, mil
perhaps a liar In the end? That is putting-It
pretly strong, but If a child Is
bright enough to look around, tuktr.g
In all the details to be repented at

"How Old Are Your"
"How old are you, my pretty maid?"
I asked, when she was seven.
She answered quick, while round
her
played
Sweet smiles as bright ns heaven.
"How old are you?" I asked again,
When she was seventeen.
My question still was not In rain
To answer she was keen.
''flow old are yon?" once more I ask,
Alas! 'twas once too often.
It was a vain and useless task
Her anger then to soften.
