Valentine Verses : ' . You might find a heart More gay and fine But never so big With Love as mine, And so I send This Valentine. Soldier or sailor-r-What matters the suit? I'm crazy about you 'Cause you are so cute. Soldier and sailor Are mighty fine But I like you best, My Valentine. St. Valentine, a saint of the Roman calendar, said to have been beheaded Feb. 14, 306 A. D. at Rome. From theld notion that birds begin to seek mates on that date, arose the custom i of young men and women choosing each other as "valentines" for the ensuing year by a species of lottery, and of sending love missives to each other. The name thus became applied to a letter or a missive sent by young persons of either sex to each other on
Valentine's day.

Milestones of Childhood What child is there who will not bo happy over the celebration of Lincoln's birthday or "Washington's birthday by special decorations in the home, and a dinner that is just a little out of the ordinary? Let PVerv hnlidav h a niiloatnnn frr
I the children, and let the children nave a part in the preparations. The Lincoln's birthday hom din ner offers an opportunity for stories about the life of Abraham Lin coln. The table centeruiece mav be a crude representation of the little cabin in which Lincoln was born. The children will take keen pleasure in making the cabin. A very simDle arrancpmpnt mav hn made from a cardboard box, with aaaiuonai pieces to give the slanted roof, and colored with pm vnn to represent the loes. Th should be windows and doors, too. Place cards will eive the nartv a "grown up" effect which will be a uengnt to all. On the back of eacn card one short paragraph about Lincoln may be written. The surprise of the party will come when these tiny ribbons are pulled and it is found that Hnw hnvni of candy have been hidden in the camn ana are drawn out from tha doors and windows. Red, white and blue is also the keynote for the decorations ' for Washington's birthday. Don't let mother tire herself out getting the dinner. Holidays, above all others. - 1 ou iaiv; supplies from the emereencv shelf. If she opens a can of soup, some vegetables and meat, with fruits, plum pudding, or rich preserves, she will be fresh and well able to enter into the joy of the occasion and make t happy day that the children will long remember. In these days when America is making history, we must teach our children likewise to honor our great heroes who have given us the ideals we are justifying to the world today.
