practice shocked the prelates when Chris
ti2nity began 10 get the upper hand. and
courageous effort was made TO stamp
1t out, but ii proved too popular, and so
the best that the clergy could do was to
give the sanction OF the church 10 the fes-
tival, by having a saint selected on the
18th OF February, who was called a val
entine.
But il is far more likely that the Gus
tom of sending valentines on one day Of
the year is queer survival of the relig-
ion of nature that existed in primitive
Europe. 1t would seem so. from the fact
that legendary lore has handed down
10 us this passage: About this time of
the year the birds CHOOSE their mates. and
thence probably came the custom of the
young men and maidens choosing valen-
tines or special loving friends on the
day"
The custom is dying out. as all customs
will when they descend from the roman
tic to the foolshly strife-stirring stage.
