• On Our Cover: To my Valentine: This drummer girl dressed all in red stands on the green, grassy verge of a country lane. Purple wisteria spill from the rustic wooden fence and climb the post to a sign that reads, in script: I've loved you long, with all my heart / Neath sun and stars in shade and shine. / Earth can no greater bliss impart / If you will be my Valentine. A robin sits on the sign board. The nine-inch, stand-up card was printed in Germany and presented to country schoolteacher Miss Cora Smith in the first or second decade of the century. Original in the New Bay Times collection.
