Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Mellor came up

talk of that kind, don’t seem to be
borne out by the facts.
For a fact Odendahl’s display of
valentines this year is the most beau
tiful that art can produce, and fairly
dazzles the eye. For instance there is
one set in a maze of rich pink, the
foreground being a wall 'phone in all
its completeness that could not be
improved upon; another set in plush
representing a heart with the lock and
key, is of equal beauty; a fairy ship
which folds together is a bewildering
sight and fit for the gods of love; a
double heart of pink, with cupid en
I snaring a dove, is next to a pink heart
I with a centerpiece representinga rural
| mail box, with cupid by the side,
' should go to some lovely girl on the
rural route and settle some young
man’s affair of love to his satisfaction.
If you have not seen these and hun
dreds of others equally as beautiful at
Odendalil's, make haste, before they
have been taken.
