And the dealer eMiel a numlK'r of nul

new valentines was the decorntile panel. One
very handsome inleiitinewns framed lu dark
crimson .sat 1 11 nnd trimmed w ith tritige. Neat
little Ixiws were sewed 011 thu corners, nnd
the piun luslde the finnie was tilled with a
hiindsome card, bearing a finished litho

bird sitting upon n (luster of lloweri. Over
the hlid's head were the words, " My host

the dealer explained, were the latest style.
They woie te he had In all sizes and numer
ous nrictlc, lunging In prhe from 75 cents
up te le. One stIe of the panel inleutlue
had a fnimuwerk of plush in two tints, ery
neatly made. These Iringed cards and framed
valentines were found in thu most ornate
designs. They were really prettv and were
net a mass of 1 mey, unsubstantial work llke
the old-fashioned lai'e things. They would
leek neat un any lady's (Ircsxlng lublu or

The most amusing style of lalentlueli the
mechanical, miiiie of these leek llke a foldel

a bit of projecting enrdbenrd they spring open

attachment, but ethers were mere mystlu in
their symlHilisin. One when pulled opened
roiealed a basket of two Illinois In which
two pink rrwes eenel. In front of the basket
tw e miniature damsels w ere kneeling as if in
prayer. Just whit this meant the dealer
did net knew, but he felt sure that the pretty
ellcct ofthe opening reues would nuke thw

One pretty lalciitine had two preltvflgurn
