Today comes another set of valentine greetings from the scrapbooks of Sarah Eva Howe Salyers. Most of these were designed for children; a few at the end were not. I hope you enjoy these paper glimpses into another era.

| This card was popular for several years. I've found duplicates in several of the scrapbooks. The front of the card unfolds to create a 3-dimensional scene. |
 |
| Popeye first appeared in comic strips in January 1929, then in short films in 1933 The next image shows the inside of this card. | |
|
 |
| These two pieces are separate in the scrapbook, but they are based on the same theme. I tried to imagine how they could be two sides of the same card, but the shapes are so different, I doubt that was the case. |
 |
| Remember Lawrence, Mary Alice's suitor introduced in the post of Jan. 21, 2018? He was a beekeeper, so I can't help but wonder if he sent this card and the next to her. |
 |
| This card and the ones that follow have more grown-up themes. Note that the one signed by Lawrence uses the term "girl friend." |
 |
| The inside of the "cantaloupe" card |
 |
| I refuse to assign too much meaning to this "ice cube" card! |
 |
| Last but not least, this role-reversal message. Oh, to know who sent it and who received it! |
