the day was beautiful, " and again year

"mild and fair, savoring more of May

the twenty-seconds were pleasant, yet
many were cold with rain and snow. In

next year when the ground was covered
with two inches, and again in 1894 with
snow and sleet. The blizzard of 1899
was in February and bad weather

The encyclopedias tell us that the OBJ

survival of the Roman Lupercalia, when
the suns victory over icy winter was
celebrated with vivacity not unmixed
with audacious familiarities. There are
two sides to the occasion in our day. 1t

but diffident youth coveted opportunity
IN hare his heart to his lady love In
sweet messages, deprecating indifference
and imploring the reciprocation OF his
tender passion. 1t is the season OF
honeyed rhymes, declaring boldly the
long concealed secret Of the soul and IN
voking the kindly saints cooperation
Decorated paper and pretty cOlored con-
ceits, with envelopes to match, are
indispensable accessories, intirnatine
forcibly that crisis is at hand and thai
the amorous swain will die of love anless
the fair one takes pity and gives him her
heart. The farcical side is the transition
from the sublime to the ridiculous when
maidens supposed to be whitening on the
stalk receive intimations through the
mediums of parodies ON human nature
suggesting that cruel fate is about to in
flict upon them lives of lonely existence
And then the caricatures on all trades
and callings are sent through the mails
or pushed under doors. Some arr
