Although Salnt A'nlentine's great stunt Is to make fond
hearts fonder,
And though hls pranks oft leud poor men on marriage to
nondor,
The time comes ln each human life, when though love
lios a-bleedlng
The sufferer hunts thc dining place and settles down to

The First Valentine.
"VVhen^one has grown to be a tall, wlso lndy,
Who knoAvs a lot about real laco and art,
One often longs, in just the funniest Avay, dear,
For the first valentine that charmed hor heayt.
Then all at once the finest old Venetlan
No longer pleases; aud one's dreiunlng eyes
See paper lace and crlrason hearts, untll, dear,
One Avishes one Avere not so tall and Avise.
