The narrator recalls a magical St Valentine week where a Small Person brings gifts, paper trees, swans, and envelopes. It contrasts festive delight with a child’s memories of longing, deprivation, and a tender ache from unmet expectations. The piece blends whimsy with introspective nostalgia about childhood.
A humorous dialogue traces Valentine habits from a stationer visit to a wife’s wit. Brown teases Potter about romance at fifty plus years of marriage, proposing a playful plan to send anonymous valentines. The piece also recounts a historical gift lottery in Europe and ponders fate and romance.
The piece argues for practical employee support and tenure incentives over a broad pension scheme. It notes merit systems reduce superannuation fears, cites private sector pull, and surveys plans from carriers to private insurers while Germany uses a variation. It urges stable salaries and permanent tenure to attract top talent and encourage long service.
A speech urging industrial peace through efficiency and education. It argues health and industrial training for all workers, skilled leadership for supervisors, and mutual respect between employers and employees as essential to social harmony and lasting prosperity.
A Paris inspired guide offers simple sachet and box designs for valentines and luncheon favors. It describes a heart shaped silk sachet with embroidered butterfly, a linen cover with removable silk slip, a satin heart shaped box with lace and chiffon trim, and a quilted satin interior for keepsakes.
A new fashion item, a jacket formed from six handkerchiefs, each at least 19 inches square. White cambric pieces, simple hamnstitched or with embroidery, stripes, or borders may be used. The construction drapes over the shoulders, fronts, and back, with a lace edged collar and ribbon bows at the fronts.
Bands of Cluny dyed in fashionable colors with white net create inexpensive yet smart blouses. Heavy flosses are replaced by soft chine ribbons when embroidery is added, and ribbons already in use add a decorative effect.
The article describes trimming indoor gowns with net embroidery in soutache, using heavy white net with rug designs in white or colored soutache for yokes, panels, cuffs, and stock.
