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

Housework Said Good
For Ego-Building
. Ann Arbor, Mich. (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

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."
