A modern legend tells that in the
nineteenth century the good st. Val
entine, with Peters leave, revisited
the earth, thinking to find youth and
life and love the same as in days of
yore But he found the girls too busy
with music and science and phllanthro-
by to receive him, and he came to the
conclusion that they were nothing If
not pedantic" and anything but ro-
mantle" Yet the spirit of st. valen-
tine will linger, for love is never out
Of date, and his fidelity marks him as
the fitting patron and pattern of lovers
for all time.

followed by Mrs. Edward Addison Greeley. who
delivered short ovation on Abraham Lincoln
Mrs. Donald Mclean complimented the society.
saying that w-England women had not only
brain. but heart.
Miss Adele Fielde. OF the League for Political
Study SAID that the least service done for his
country by Lincoln was his having left an Amer
lean ideal, differing from any other He was in
tensey earnest, yet rightly humorous: he craved
sympathy, yet was able 10 stand utterly alone -
she SAID. A laugh went through the room when
she said, Lincoln was my ideal, and, remember
ing his rugged face. I have. with a wonan's lack
0f logic. always felt certain disesteem for hand
Miss Margaret whitcher and Francis Walker
