Love Tokens.

The ancient English custom Of giving
love tokens on the goth of August died out
many years ago. The custom was for
''enamoured maydes and gentlewomen"
to give to their favorite swains as tokens
Of love little handkerchiefs three or four
inches square, with a button or tassel at
each corner and a small one in the center.
The finest OF these favors was edged with
narrow gold lace or twist, and then being
folded up in four crossfolds so that the
middle might be seen. They were worn by
the fortunate swains in their hats or on
the breast. The favors were generally the
handiwork of the ''faire mayde' herself,
and well she liked TO work the most beau
tiful figures she could for her favorite suit
or, but they became so much In vogue in
Queen Elizabeth's time that they were sold
ready made in the shops. This Of course
destroyed the romance of the custom, and
hence its death.-New York Dispatch.
