Cupid Puts More SentimentIn Valentines This Season

Sentimental gentlemen from Georgia and elsewhere will be. in*-lerffted in the two new valentine fashions shown below. They’reamong the season’s favorites. Lona Andre of the films, however, he-lieves that a question as important as “Will You Be My Valentine?"should be a personal matter, so you see her valentine idea above.

IBy Associated Press)NEW YORK. Feb. 13.—Valen-

tine messages are straight fromthe heart this year, with friendli-,ness and sincerity the latestfashions in greetings.

Even the traditional comic val-entines are good-natured in mostcases, while the lace-trimmed andflower-decked models make serious*passes at the heart strings.

The depression, once a fertilesubject for the greeting-card mak-ers’ funny inscriptions, has receiv-ed little attention in the valentinedisplayed this year. Evidently theversifiers know a worn out topicwhen they see it.

Realism is added to some of thenew valentines by the use of clothor lace trimmings, but simplicityis the chief characteristic of illus-trations and embellishments. Noth-ing modern has replaced the stapledecorative devices of hearts andflowers.

Inscriptions vary iri style fromundergraduate slang to the vernac-ular of the mid-Victorians, punsholding their own against all com-petition. “Will You Be My Valen-tine?” seems to be the question ofthe hour, with personal touchesin valentines directed to a varietyof people from wives to “bachelorgirls.”
