Some send cards and candy to sweethearts; some re ceive cards and candy from sweet hearts; most ignore it. But is this renowned day only for the lovers of the world? Surely I we unattached and independent I people have a right to some fes tivity. The best way is to throw a party - agreed? We'll have to have girls, and we'll have to have boys. All of one sex would produce a rather boring party, after all, especially on Feb ruary 14. Having assembled girls I and boys - all single, unattached and amiable - there should be I games to break any ice as may still be gleaming among the guests. < Passing an orange from chin to chin, so adeptly performed by I Cary Grant in a recent movie, should be successful-particularly if Cary Grant is among us to show s how it should be done.

FIENDLY CONVERSATION After a round of games, we can alk. You can always tell whether our party will be a success uring these little sessions; if it is, veryone will be loudly discussing vant - garde theatre and the leatles. A flop of a party is sug ested when little groups of one ex each segregate themselves, oing off into corners to discuss ports cars, spring fashions, and rhat that other little group is aying about their little group. If he party is an absolute flop, they rill merely steal a deck of cards, o outside and play bridge. Let us now consider that the arty is a success, and all the uests are gaily arguing, dis ussing, and knocking each other bout the room. When the right ime comes - which is about three iinutes before someone's head oes through the TV screen -- erve refreshments. Few p e o p 1 e ver get too argumentative to g n o r e a plateful of anything dible. Serve coffee, Cokes, or hot ocoa; anything stronger will tend o arouse our guests still further nd not only will someone's head o through the TV screen, but he rill probably wear it home. REMOVING TIIE GUESTS Now, we've had games, dis ussion, and food. The only thing ft is to get them out. We could ]ways give them a deck of cards nd tell them to go outside and lay bridge, but we should keep hat only as a next-to-last resort. 'he last resort is, of course, to et fire to the rug.

Some, who insist that three a.m. is only the start of a glorious evening, may be persuaded to leave when you assure them that there's a great Swedish movie due to start in eight minutes at a distant drive-in. Once everyone is out, we are left with a plethora of red paper, cigarette butts, cake crumbs, some body's orange sweater, and some beer cans that somehow got in. By now, however, it's far into Feb ruary 15, and Valentine's Day is gone for another year. All we have left are these lipstick-stained nap kins and sloppy ashtrays. On second thought, perhaps we really ought to leave Valentine's to the romantic couples. It takes only two to really enjoy it, after all.
