Show HOW TO GET THE ROMANCE BACK INTO YOUR VALENTINE f " "Vis V s V, X t y . st . ' fit Party Contests- How long has it been since you received a fussy, lacey Valentine Val-entine that for so many years was the symbol of St. Valen-.tine? Valen-.tine? A long time, I bet, because be-cause it's smart to send only sophisticated and clever ones today. Anything that bends toward to-ward Romanticism means you are not chic or in-the-groove. There was a time when February Feb-ruary rolled around, romance just seemed to burst wide open. iy ?T Everyone had 4' the great urge " " V to write intric- 9 ate petry tnat Jf$y . 4; carried senti-mental senti-mental m e s-j; s-j; rZSA sages putting f a romantic aiaiifimood. If this was before your time, or if you remember but have missed idealistic merriment, I Lily Tulip suggests it might be fun this year, to skip being clever and sophisticated and bring back a little of this poetic feeling by sending your friends an old fashioned Valentine. You might even use it as an invita-tation invita-tation to a real Valentine, Hearts and Flowers party. . When the guests arrive, each young damsel . is handed one half a heart, cut with jagged edges through the center, and a pencil with which she is asked . to write some message, endearing enough, to intrigue one of the young Lochinvar's pleasure, so he, in turn, will overcome all obstacles to mend her broken heart. In lining up this contest, the boys are first sent out of the room and each one is given the male name of a famous couple. Then, one by one they are brought back and asked to pick out their famous wife's name which each girl is holding hol-ding in front of her. If they guess wrong, they are seated; if they guess right, they receive re-ceive V of the heart they are going to mend. The- second contest, for bra'vvn, could be an elimination dance (be sure it's a waltz) and the boy of the winning couple either wins his first V4, heart or his full half. If it is the latter, he then puts' the 2 quarters quar-ters together making the half that will match one belonging to a fair lady. When he finds her, she then is. his partner for the evening. YOUR VALENTINE TABLE MATERIALS NEEDED: 2 wire coat hangers Pulp plates (not. compartment; Lily's Gold Leaf Plates Cups Mystic Tape pink & green Staples, scotch tape, wire. Large and small paper lace doilies Suggestions for decorating the table, as seen in the picture. 1. Cross the 2 wire hangers inside one another, hooking the two hooks together, then pull the two sides together forming an. easel and wire in that position. 2. Cover the hanger part with small strips of green Mystic tape. 3. Take 2 Gold Leaf plates and outline them with paper lace doilies forming a heart. Cover the back with glue and glue on the back of the pulp plate. Staple the two plates back to back at the top. 4. Take a small strip of green Myotic tape and form a heart in the center of both plates. 5. With the pink Mystic tape, make roses, using green for leaves. .To make flowers, form as you would crepe ones, only cut a strip of 2" long and fold over, leaving li" of sticky edge free. Then clip round edges on the part, that's folded and continue from there. If you dont' want to make these, use crepe ones and place them as seen in the picture. 6. Underneath the easel, as you see in the picture, make smaller plate by cutting center of plate in the form of a heart and cut design of rim to fit center. Then, use lace doilies same as for the large plate and form Mystic tape heart in the center with roses. 7. For candle sticks, use a container with roses and lace doilies as seen in the picture. A plastic lace table cloth laid over a pink or red cloth is very pretty for your plates. Fix as you did your centerpiece plates, except it is not necessary to form the heart. With all these frills, from the females looking their prettiest, to a lacy table, you might find that romance is not as sophisticated sophis-ticated as you had thought.
