sensible, but who had absolutely no
room for such rubbish. I often wonder
what the good God thinks of such char
ity. And l often wonder what the peO-
pie who give such things expect the
recipients to do with them. But they
keep on giving them, and the people Sc
lected to receive these doubtful bless
ings are obliged TO take them and to
smile and behave exactly as if they had
received something worth having.
We used to think that London and
Paris were far ahead of US in their
smart showing of carriages, but that is
no longer so. New York has got to
be very correct as far as the stable
lis concerned, and you know the swag-
ger set is largely inclined to be the
horsy set 1t must be confessed that
the swell men either initiate their
grooms or permit their grOoms to imi-
tate them. Horsy gentlemen always
suggest gentIemanly horses to me. You
know the kind. The sort that look well
enough to ride for awhile are then
given to the children to drive in a
phaeton and eventually end their lives
in the service OF a cab stable. OF course
there are women who do not know what
perfection in a carriage is. There is a
woman who always looks to me as if
she might say that she hailed from
Bnlville and who is the daughter of
many times millionaire. and this one
concludes that as she can have any
trap she wants she will pay no atten-
ton to the fact that certain laws. rules
and regulations constitute carriage Ell
quette. In the first place. she sits on
the wrong side. y lady should always
be on the right of her carriage Just be-
hind the coachman. In the second
place, this lady is given over TO the
JanShng Of chains, which is a worse
stamp Of vulgarity than a claret livery
with white collars and cuffs and gold
braid. Then her carriage is not. as it
ought to be. immaculate. One concludes
that there is no capable body 70 order
the stable people just how To keep il.
while the fOOtman looks as if he want
ed a rod applied to him TO make him sit
up. A good footman ought 10 look as
If he had swallowed q board which had
attached itself 10 his spinal column.
and If there are thousands OF accidents
on the streets and hundreds of exciting
episodes he ought 20 look perfectly i'm
passive and absolutely unmoved. When
such fOotman is got he is a treasure.
The most correct livery today is a
very dark one, blue or black being pre-
ferred. The boot tops should be white
and the coat have a velvet collar and
narrow velvet cuffs. The gloves should
he white. and the hat should shine as If
Il were an advertisement for some shoe
polish. The STERN coat should be of
white rubber, ana in winter time fur
cape of black bearskin should be worn.

considered specially under the patron
age OF this saint. Undoubtedly the be-
lief had become an accepted fact in
Chaucer's day. for his Assembly %
Foules,' or the great gathering OF the
birds, is treasure trove for suitable ex-
tracts. He describes the grace OF the
Empress Nature and amusingly sketch

Tennyson expresses the next step to-

One of the most popularity quoted OF
valentines is that written by John
Dome, the satiric poet of the seven
teenth century. In his rugged style he
anticipates Browning.
This valentine was dedicated to Prin-
cess Elizabeth and the Elector Freder-
lex on their wedding day. Feb. IA. 1914:
Hail. Bishop Valentine. whose day this IS!
All the air is thy diocese.
And all the chirping chOrSters
And other birds are thy parishioners-
Thy marryest every year
The lyric lark and the grave whispering
dove:
The sparrow that neglects his life for love.
The household bird with the red stom-
acher:
Thou mak'st the bIuebIrd speed as soon
As doth the goldfinch or the halcyon-
This day more cheerfully than ever shine.
This day which might infiame thysef. old
Nalentinei
On Valentines eve ii used 10 be a
common practice among girls TO gather
five bay leaves. pinning one on each
corner of their pillow and one in the
center. Their repose was made sweet
by the visions OF possible sweethearts
in their dreams
Before retiring a hard boiled egg was
divided. the yolk taken out and its space
filled with salt. The egg. shell and all
was swallowed No drink OF water was
allowed after this charm.
Unless the digestion of our fair an
cestresses was bullet proof. the wonder
may we'll be why hobgoblins and not
lovers did not visit them in dreams.
In oxford the children still sing
Good morrow. Valentine.
First It's yours and then It's mine,
So please give me a valentine,
and another rhyme:
Good morrow 10 you. Valentine,
Cut your locks as do mine,
Two before and three behind.
Good morrow To you, Valentine
For three centuries. from the fifteenth
TO the eighteenth. we have constant al
Iusions in prose and poetry to the Gus
tom Of writing names of men and wO-
men on slips of paper that each one
might draw a slip. A lady had the

| addressed by lovers to their mistresses
were the product of their own hand and
brain. But the labor involved was found
in most cases to be far out of proper
ton to the results arrived at, and it
soon became the common practice to
substitute the valentine of commerce
for the home product. The skill of the
poet and painter was called into requi-
sition, and many very expensive and
elaborate valentines are the result.
The number of these missives sent on
each 18th Of February in the United
States must amount to many hundreds
of thousands, and the letter carriers
and distributors regard the approach of
St Valentines day with sentiments the
reverse of blissful.
The observance of st. Valentines day
is European custom imported. and,
like many other European customs, it
failed to thrive in America. 1t was too
burdened with sentiment and lacked the
necessary novelty. and so it was dis
torted to what it is now.
When the transition from the original
to the present custom occurred it
would be hard to state.
The first st. Valentines day was in
augurated by the priests of the early
Christian church as a substitute for
what was a popular Roman custom,
the early fathers in their wisdom decid-
ing that gradual substitution. or taper
ing off, as it might be called. was pref
cradle to the sudden stoppage Of long
standing habit.
How this came about is told in a gen
orally accepted work by Douce. entitled
Illustrations by Shakespeare In i'll
he gives the origin Of ST. Valentine
day in the following terms:
1t was the practice in ancient Rome
during great part of the month OF
February TO celebrate the LUpercalia,
which were feasts in honor Of Pan and
Juno. whence the latter deity was nam
ed Februata. Februalis and Februlla
On this occasion amid a variety Of ce-e-
monies, the names OF young women
were put in a box. from which they
were drawn by the men as chance di-
rccted. The pastors Of the early Chris
tian church. who. by every possible
means, endeavored TO eradicate the
vestiges Of pagan superstition and

because she shares them with her chum
and her digestion is good.
She enjoys a matinee at the theater
because she is intelligent and has the
wisdom to select a good play.
She enjoys dancing all night and say
ing goodby to the boys in the morning
because she knows how to dance and
realizes that these special boys appre-
ciate her.
She even enjoys the heavy German
opera because she is healthy enough to
sleep through the greater part of it and
to be fresh for the ball that is to follow.
She enjoys the good things that she
does not possess. She can look at them
in the shop window and be glad of the
opportunity to delight her eyes, for
she is a nice girl. is this American girl,

not often. When it did occur, a mar
riage was considered the only possible
outcome.
Then this practice of drawing by lot
and trusting to luck was slowly but
surely supplanted by the practice of
choosing the valentine. Each young
man would up and away before day
light to post himself at his lady's lat
tiCe. or even, If possible, steal into her
chamber so as to be the first her eyes
should rest upon when she should
awake on st. Valentines day. Then for
the year this man and maid were val
entines and bound in all honor TO OBJ
serve the ties. AS this custom grew, so
grew the practice of bearing TO the
maid an expression Of loving senti-
ments carefully wrought on parchment.
over these wordy expressions the iliit-
crate gaIlants of the romantic days
struggled and toiled and pounded, their
hearts pierced with huge arrows. They
did not buy them at the shops. but

The custom of drawing the names OF
saints, however, was not vested with
sufficient materialism, and in the days
OF romance and chivalry the girls were
conspicuous figures again in the OBJ
servance CT the day. In those times the
youths and the maidens were drawn
for by lot. Each youth would inscribe
his name or his SYMBOL on a piece of
parchment and toss it into box; then
the maidens would do the same. The
youths would then draw maiden from
the box and the maiden in turn draw
the name of youth.
Then the adjustment would begin.
The youths would seek out the maidens
whose names they had drawn. and the
maidens the youths. Thus it would gen.
orally happen that each man was seek
ing a maid and was in turn sought by
maiden he was not himself seeking.
This latter maid must. therefore. be
bought off with a gift in keeping with
the rank of the man. Sometimes ii hap
