To You, My Valentine!” F o r IJour Ualentine Party [We buy Potatoes, Wheat. Oats, Hay, Vetch and Clover Seed] <»>'<<<« 4* TViTANY curious old charms are said to be potent on St. Valentlne’is evfr—all, like most charms ever invent ed, connected with the procuring of husbands. Even before surplus woman dawned on the scene, this seems to have been a subject of much anxiety. Five bay leaves, pinned respectively to the four corners and the center of the pillow, are said to bring certain dreams of the future partner, if the sleeper has gone to bed without eating or speaking. Another Infallible spell was to write the names of admirers on separate pieces of paper, enclose them in clay balls and throw them into water. The one which came to the surface first contained the name of the fated spouse. It is a sign of great good luck If the swain you favor should be the first man seen on February 14. The mod em girl who does not pin her-faith entirely to signs and omens, can al ways practice the ruse of a shrewd maiden of long ago, who, knowing where her heart had gone, "lay a-bed and shut my eyes all the morning till ‘he’ came, for I would not have seen another man before him for all the vorld.” She was far-seeing and lucky. But f she had set eyes first on the wrong man, she would have wedded him, so a poet tells us:— ‘Last Valentins, the day when birds of kind Their paramours with mutual chirpings find. Afield I went, amid the morning dew, To milk my klne (for so should house wives do), Thee first I spied, and the first swain we see, In spite of fortune, shall our true love be.” Some of us wish that a quaint old custom practiced in the time of Pepys was still prevalent—the rule that a man must give a present to the first woman he saw on February 14. Pepys, gay old rascal that he was, much be wailed himself that his own tribute had to be offered to his wife—a pro ceeding he considered very dull, when there were plenty of pretty young girls at fhe light-hearted court of Charles II. Old people still remember the time when valentines were as popular as Christmas cards, and the postman groaned under his load on the morning of the 14th. This is still the case in the United States, but the Idea of courtship Is no longer much connected with these bright cards. Nowadays Shakespeare’s greeting:— ««/^'RACIOUS goodness,” said Cupid, ' “A looking at>' the calendar, “here I am sitting around and dawdling hours away when it's my busiest time In the whole year.” “ James,” he cried, “bring me that quiver of arrows and the polish. I’ve got to get ready for St. Valentine’s day I” And while Cupid Is busy getting ready for his annual archery program, there are plenty of others who are pre paring to receive him, fortifying them selves against his Invasion or prepar- ’ lng a fitting welcome, as _ the case may be. Naturally, nobody wants to take a chance with this skillful archer without plenty of others present to help deflect ■his flying arrows, so there will be ; parties, parties, and then more parties. First, a Valentine party calls for a clever form of Invitation. A verse— original if possible-—could set forth the wish of the hostess In an approprl- ; ate jingle, running something like this: ; I beg to indite that a gay little sprite. Will stop at my home on St. Valen tine’s night: Can you meet him at eight, on this speolal date. I’m expecting you over so please don’t be late.

OREGON Residence Phone 26 Another invitation might read; On Saint Valentine’ s Day Will you come to my partyf I’ll see That you have , A Welcome right hearty. The verse can be written on dainty Valentine postcards, or correspondence cards ornamented with Cupids and ar rows or with red heart seals. Another verse may Invite the guest in this w ise: The Sign-of-the-Heart Is pleased to Invite Tour presence at eight on Saint Valen tine’s Nlghtj Hearts that are brave and loving and true W ill be ready and waiting to welcome you. The password Is Love, which alone has the power To gain you admittance to Cupid’s bower. Note paper decorated with Valentine seals could be used for this form of in vitation. F o r a decoration to conform to the first line of the verse, an Im mense red heart, hung against the glass of the front door would be a p -' proprlate. Old-fashioned valentines, with lace paper and sentimental verses, make ap propriate Invitations. So do the old comics. The valentine party rarely takes the form of a masquerade, but the hostess usually plans caps and favors for the guests,, to give a festive air to the event. “Good morrow, ’tie St. Valentine’s day, Almost any crude cap of crepe paper All the morning betlme, can be made highly decorative by add And I a maid at your window, ing long tassels or fringe at either side. To be your valentine.” Heavy necklaces of cardboard with simply reminds us of the passing of a a ruffle of red crepe paper hung about delightful old custom. Christianity brought the custom of the neck on a ribbon are effective and placing each feast day under the easily, made.
