Be-ware the waxy wiles of Cupid! Back in the Irony Age an equal number of maids and bachelors used to get together on this memorable day. Each wrote his name upon a scrap of paper and laid it cautiously in the commun-ity valentine bowl. The lots were drawn; the die was cast. Each boy and girl drew a name whose own-er was to be his valentine. This way everybody had two valentines. About this time when all the men were gallivanting off to their other valentines after taking one cool collected blink at me, I would have been cherising black thoughts about starting a civil war. However, the men were usu-ally courageous enough to keep the valentines they had drawn by lot. It was said that "this little sport often ended in love." In those golden days people were a hundred percent sentimen-talists. They even thought Cupid spent time and arrows on the crows and other winged animals, for they firmly believed that the birds mated on that day. Not only that, but it Was com-mon among the proletariat to de-cide one's future husband or wife by extracting the petals from a rosebush saying (for example) "Mordred, Ole, Lancelot, Gus, Clancy, etc." If I were they, I'd just say, "Bachelor, bachelor, bachelor." But the Valentine superstition that really hit the jackpot is the one which dictates that the very first unmarried person of the op-posite sex whom one meets on Vanlentine's morning is one's des-tined husband or wife. Can't you just see some moon-struck Cob be-ing led down to the caf that morn-ing just to "make sure"? But woe to them that send those comic valentines! We'd like to re-mind them that Saint Valentine met a sad, sad death, being first beaten with clubs and then be-headed. woolens and crepes which they had sewed for advanced clothing class. The garments featured pockets of unusual shapes and proportions, covered buttons and easy drapes. Such detail gave them a smart pro-fessional appearance. The fashion trend toward simplicity and soft, easy tailoring was highlighted in all of the garments. Because of their basic qualities these dresses served as background for jewelry and scarves and other accessories. Reds and shades of brown and blue held the spotlight most often during the revue. Other colors featured were rose and gray. The Thursday evening revue spotlighted crepes and satins in afternoon and evening dresses . Miss .Dorothea Nevramon direct-ed the style revue. Girls taking part were Phyllis Thompson, Dor-othy Thompson, Ellen Astrup, Ver-na Delle Laithwaite, Joyce Sharpe, Ruth Sellie, Avis Helling, Ina Mae Wollertson, Jeannine Anderson, Olive Hagstrom, Bernice Hanson, Jean Thompson, Louise Finstad and Eunice Vinge . Plans are being made for a sim-ilar lunchroom revue in three weeks. Spring coats and suits will then be featured. Women's League Schedule Quest Nite Monday night, -Feb. 13, is guest night at Women's League. All members of Women's League will bring a guest to the annual guest night which will be held in North Lounge of Fjelstad hall. The History of Women's league and guest night will be given by Mrs. H .C. Nordlie. Mrs. J. L. Rendahl will direct a skit and Mrs. Sigvald Thompson will play a vio-lin number.
