how to Entertain on ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.

A hostess who entertained for a card clnb had these unique in-~ vitations. The meeting was on Feb. 14, so in bright red envelopes she placed hearts of lurid hue, on which she wrote: “Hearts are trumps. No previous attachments considered.*’ The date, hoar, name and address follow ed. She served Ice cream hearts, made by using a heart shaped cooky cutter, some Iced with pink and some with white, pale green and lavender, all from harmless colorings. The score was kept by dropping candy motto hearts into a silken bag cut oat heart shaped and made with a drawstring at the top. Gilt hearts were glned on the outside of bags in the way of ornamentation. Cupids dressed in red tulle, with gilt wings, were tbe place favors, and red carnations were the flowers used for the centerpiece, and one for each guest was laid by tbe plate. <
