" As with nervous fingers she carefully drew from a great white envelope the most beautiful cupid ever seen -- he of the angel wings.
A dainty perfumed lace surrounded a picture of two lovely doves,
bearing between them a heart of gold' on a bed of crimson roses,
whose delicate petals fell on their pathway.
Inscribed on the golden heart, in letters of heavenly blue, were the words:
Would you know who sent this valentine to thee? I will tell you truly, if you'll call on me."
- from the " Ladies Home Journal " , 1889
Happy Valentine's Day to you ❤
