That little boy or girl at
your house Is probably In a high
state of excitement as Valen
tines Day approaches. Still, we
can’t help wondering whether
kids In this modern age get
as much fun out of the occasion
as their parents and grandpar
ents did.
Long since gone out of style
Is the grand old custom of fash
ioned homemade Valentines
with tablet paper and a box of
crayons.
Maybe these original crea-

Uons weren’t as fancy as the
store-bought type, but a child
who received one knew that
somebody who cared had gone
to a little extra trouble.
It’s possible, of course, to
buy ValenUnes at the store
to be pasted together by the
young purchaser, but this isn’t
exactly the same as being com
pletely original.
One thing hasn’t changed in
connection with the Valentine
observance is the way signa
tures are signed. As was the
case in past generations, num
erals are used instead of ini
tials.
The numberal “1” is for A,
the numeral “2” for B, and
so through the alphabet. Thus,
6-10-5, printed in a broad pen
ciled scrawl can be figured
out pretty quickly by the young
recipient of a token of affec
tion.
Needless to say, a few chil
dren in your neighborhood, or
your child’s classroom, may
receive no Valentines. Why not
suggest to your moppet that
such juveniles need remem
brance far more than anyone
else?
For our part we think Valen
tines Day is one of our better
holidays, and the rest of you
probably agree with us. If you
had your life to live over,
wouldn’t it be fun to reach
for a tablet, a box of cray
ons, and a pair of scissors
along about now?

ly to escape a bath. Naturally,
Frank thought that Faith felt
the same way. Even so, he
decided to give her a good
scrubbing when she strolled
into the office one day, cover
ed with grease.
Prepared for an ordeal, he
was astounded when the unpre
dictable feline enjoyed her bath
to the fullest. From that
morning on, she has been sham
pooed regularly, from her nose
to the tip of her tail.
Matilda, discussing Faith,
said, “You know, cats aren’t
like other animals because they
can smile and frown.’’Then and
there she proved it by coaxing.
a smile and bringing a scowl
to Faith’s countenance, in a
single minute. Hiis cat Is really
something.
