Maids of Ancient Rome Used Version of Valentine By MARGARET RICHARDS United Press Correspondent Kansas City, Mo. (IP) The maidens of ancient Rome really started something when they decorated their love notes. If you have any doubts, take a look at their modern successors the coiormi val entines that sweethearts the country over will exchange this February 14. The Roman girls are said to have fashioned the valentine's forerunner by prettying up their name cards, thereby making them more attractive to the local swains who drew the cai " from an urn during the pag. feast of Lupercalia. The bovs then courted the eirls whose names they had drawn for the remainder of the year, according to legend. Sentimental Through the intervening centuries, the valentine has hppome an imDortant mode of romantic communication, with emphasis on elegance and beauty, as befits the occasion. While some prefer a greet ing with a humorous or witty touch, the majority of Amer cans still rely upon a truly sentimental greeting, elegant ly decked out, to make St. Valentine's day, according to one card manufacturer. fTnlH and silver have been used extensively on this year's valentines, creating rich ac cents for the traditional color of red. One new card features a scarlet rose and bud em blazoned against a gold back ground, the rose heavily coat ed with a sparkling material. The entire cover of another is gold, with a heart-shaped opening through which a bou quet of beaded flowers gleams. Up To $5 Another includes a deli cate gold chain that can be used as a necklace by the re cipient. The verse of the card, which is addressed to "a spe cial friend." declares that "friendship is a golden chain, a rare ana cnerisnea xokhi, that binds two hearts together in a bond that can t be broken Truly fetching Is a series of cards incorporating diminu tive silk tapestries that make charming keepsakes. The ta pestries are woven with the words "love," "sweetheart" and the like. Also eye-catching are the greetings reproduced from full-color photographs. Still lifes of flowers and valentine cards of the Victorian era are given among the subjects featured. For those who want to com bine a gift and a greeting, su Der deluxe valentines rang ing in cost up to $5 are avail able.

Callas Singing Said "Stunning New York OP) Prima donna Maria Meneghini Callas gave a sizzling demonstration Thursday nieht of why opera fans and opera managers put up with her. . - The fierv soDrano sang and acted with stunning and sur passing art the role of vio lotta. the heroine of Verdi's "La Traviata" at the Metro politan Opera house. The nuprflnw crowd responded with applause and cheers that drowned out the opening strains when the curtain rose, and called her back for 10 bows after the final curtain descended. Every seat was filled, the standing room sections were jammed, and a crowd of sev eral hundred packed the side walks outside, grumbling with discontent over not being al lowed to pay the steep prices charged for the Milk Fund benefit and get in to see and hear her. And opera fans who hold Miss Callas in highest esteem despite her high jinks were rewarded with a breathtaking ly believable performance; she held the audience enrapt from start to finish. It was her first operatic ap pearance since the great fiasco in the Rome Opera House January 3, when the hot-headed Italian opera lov ers rioted in the streets after she refused to continue her performance in "Norm a" after the first act. It also was Miss Callas' first perform ance with pie Met this season. There are 62 recognized college level institutions of learning in Michigan.
