Valentine Greeting Cards Commented on by Dan Cupid By DAN CUPID (Written for United Press International) Kansas City, Mo. (LTD Mother warned me there'd be times like this. Like 1959, I mean, when some people are making fun of my valiant ef forts to distribute love among the populace. If Mom Dad called her Venus, you k n o w were around today, I think even she'd be a little shocked at the' way our Day is being treated. And Mom was no Puritan, either. But I guess she'd get sort of a laugh at some of the lat est Valentine greetings. On one card, there's this tough kid, see, with a gleam in his eye. "C'mere, Valentine . . ." he says. Inside, he puts his own cards on the table: "I don't buy dames malteds for nothin' y'know." Or take the cigar-smoking gent on another card, top-hatted and all. "Stick with me, Valentine," he tells the party of the second part, "and you'll be wearing radishes as big as diamonds." What gives, I asked W. R. McCloskey, of Hallmark Cards. So help me, this is what he said: Wit and Humor "Americans are romantic and sentimental, it's true, but many of them like to blend a good portion of wit and hu for with their expressions of affection.' It doesn't mean they think any less of the per sons to whom they send the cards." McCloskey showed me some more new Valentines. There was one with, a guy on the front who looks like the First of January. "Since I met you," he says, "I can't sleep, I can't eat, I can't drink " Inside, he explained, "I'm broke." There's a character on an other card who stands with his hands filled with bills, his face down to the floor, saying, "I'd love to be your Valentine . . . but I'm still paying off Christmas." "I hope you don't think I'm being conceited for saying Mistletoe Club Initiates Three Mrs. Faye Hall, Mrs Charles Hendry and Mrs Mrs. Ray Anderson were ini tiated at the last meeting of Mistletoe club, held Wednes day at Girls Community club. The ceremony was conducted by Mrs. Frank Hussong, Mrs Dave Fraysher and Mrs. Jes sie Laing. Mrs. W. H. Arnold conduct ed the program which preced ed the business meeting. Mrs. Alvin Lehman was a guest of the club. A prize was won by Mrs. Thomas Mee. Club members assembled at 10 a.m. for quilting, with luncheon following. Mrs. Ir vin Patten headed the com mittee in charge. Decorations were in the valentine theme. Next meeting of the group will be February 25 at 12:30 pjn. for a covered dish luncheon. yours truly is featured on still another card. In this one, I'm a wise guy who tells his Val entine, "It's Valentine's Day, so just had to tell you . . . you've got two months to pay your income tax." Conventional Type Now don't get me wrong. You don't have to send a funny-Valentine. McCloskey says lots of folks stick to the con ventional type. Convention being what it is today, there are more of these cards than ever. Pardon my saying so, but I ratner tancy myseit a man who understands women. So I know there still are plenty of dames around who go for the sentimental Valentine. You know, lots of lace and hearts and flowers. Well, this year they get a bonus stuff like insets of silk tapestry and photographs, in color yet. But me, I kinda like one that shows a cockney girl in a shawl and a crazy hat, drip ping in roses. She's saying, "'ow 'bout it?" That's cock ney, you know. Anyway, this card has snob appeal. Your friends will think you got in to see "My Fair Lady." - Popularity Gains for Colored Hose By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York -iUPD Ladies col ored stockings are going up. "Up in production and up in sales," said William F. Wil liamson, head of the National Association of Hosiery Manur facturers. "More than 40Q b r i g h t 'tints' color one pair of every four going to market this spring. One major maker has colored 50 per cent of his line." American women, accord ing to Williamson, buy better than 700 million pairs of sheers in a year. The "aver age" Miss or Mrs., he said, buys about a pair a month. Career girls excepted. They wear out 20 or more pairs a year, the NAHM spokesman said. Three Pairs Per Woman Statistically, it's estimated that the average woman will buy colored hose three times during 1959. A sprinkling of, color was tried four years ago, but the idea didn't catch on full-blast until recently, according to Williamson. The snag, he retailed, stem med from the fact that most ladies looked down on sheers of red, green, violet, orange, blue, yellow. "Motivation experts told us coolred stockings had a quite offensive reputation in most women's minds. To break down that notion, we've been saying that the stockings have just a hint of a colorful tint." Celebrities turned to col ored sheers during the past year also helped to crumble Dan'ces Planned For Centennial Two square dances planned for Saturday, February 14, will observe Oregon's Cen tennial and valentine's day.

(DPD Pssssst, Husbands: Half the nation's married women say housework helps their self esteem. But the yen for dusting isn't necessarily a natural instinct, say sociolo gists at the University of Michigan's Institute for So cial Research. The Institute conducted . a nationwide survey and found that most teen-aged girls ad mit they want to marry, but fever than one in 10 said they want to become house wives. Marriage brings about the change of attitude toward household chores, the Insti tute said. By PATRICIA McCORMICK United Press International New York - !DPD - If you want to tickle a heart the old fashioned way tomorrow, try poetry. When speaking of kisses, bards of merit shied from tongue-twisters like oscula tion. Robert Herrick, a 17th century poet, called them "the cure, sweet cement, glue and lime of love." 'And he had a way of ask ing for "another" that was al most foolproof . He wrote: - "Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score. Then to that twenty, add a hundred more!--A thousand to that hundred. So kiss on to make that thou sand a million; treble that mil lin, and when that is done, let's kiss afresh, as when we first begun." , Heart To Heart Poetic persuasion from the pen of Daniel Webster Boyt may be just what is needed this Valentine eve to persuade the lover who is playing hard to get. "If you have a friend worth loving, love him," he wrote. -"Yes, and let him know that you love him, ere life's eve ning tingle his brow with sun set glow . . ." Boyt, who died in 1936, also explained why some men become talkative on dates. "The first proof a man gives of his interest in a woman is by talking to her about his own sweet self," he wrote. "If the woman listens without yawning, he begins to like her. If she flatters the animal's vanity, he ends by adoring her." Elizabeth Barrett Browning put forth this formula for de Duplicate Club Names Winners Thirteen tables of -players turned out for Tuesday's meeting of Medford Duplicate Bridge club. - North-south .winners were Mrs. R.

Among Inexpensive new greetings (designed by Hall mark) is a deluxe painting set that provides a palette of wat er colors, a brush, and a se ries of outline drawings in postcard form to be colored, signed and mailed. ciding whether it is or isn't - true love: "Unless you can muse in a crowd all day on the absent face that fixed you; unless you can love, as the angels may, with the breadth of heavy be twixt you; unless you can dream that his faith is fast, through behoving and unbe hoving; unless you can die when the dream is past - oh, never call it loving." Other cards present gifts of plastic scissors that slice through paper, but balk safe ly if cloth is assaulted. the resistance, Williamson said.
