In another she put a dagger which was to show that her heart had been pierced by love I This she sent to her mother. One with the big red heart and the little gold hearts she sent to her father. The way she sent her valentines was to go outside the door early on the morning of Valentine's day and shove them into the mail box, and then they would be gathered up a little later la-ter when the postman was heard arriving ar-riving with the letters. She wrote little verses for a number num-ber of her friends, and these she posted post-ed In plenty of time so they would arrive on the morning of St. Valentine's Valen-tine's day. She wrote these verses in red Ink and drew little hearts on each sheet of paper. She spread her lines far apart so the valentines would look as though they were long ones. And the people receiving them would not have to take long to read them, yet they would not seem too short. This was her valentine for her friend Lucy, and it was written, In this fashion, with the lines far apart: Lucy with hair so golden Lucy with ways so fine, Oh, Lucy, will you, will you Please, be my Valentlne- This was the valentine she wrote for her friend Caroline who lived nearby : I have a little neighbor. Her name Is Caroline It would make me very happy If she'd be my Valentine. This was the valentine she wrote for her friend Mahalla: I love Mahalla, yes, I do, And I'll ask her for a sign That she will be quite willing To be my Valentine? j Then she sent a valentine she had bought in a shop showing a little boy and a little girl in an automobile with a big heart s&?. as a background. 2k jfe '' She sent this to Apj 6t f Muriel, as she jfJi1 knew Muriel loved to go motoring -'jr58-""' with her daddy, f T and she knew her 9 R 1 daddy took up a fll A big portion of her ' ' y lu tienrt ! . ..

For I feel quite brave and bold. And I ask her now to hearken As I beg her to be mine For I want her, oh, so badly, To be my Valentine! |
