The question Of the Confederate fair,
to be held March 10th for the benefit of
the Home for Needy Confederate Women.
came up before the meeting adjourned.
The ladies regretted the matter, but, re-
cognizlng that all Confederate workers
nave their definite aims and objects,
which seem to the workers all impor
tant. they expressed the hope that the
Confederate fair would receive the sun
port Of tho public while the work Of
the association was being carried for

pledge would prevent their giving more
than their good wishes. as at any other
time they might have been able to do.

To-day Is the first OF week which
ends with February 14th, and where IS
the maiden or tho gallant, sven In the
twentieth century, who Is not thrilled
with sentimental thoughts and tender
feelings at the idea OF sending and re-
ceiving possible valentine2
People OF the present day affect great
deal OF mariallsn: at heart, they are
very much what humanity has always
been. In different way, they express
Just the same thing as that told in highly
+ ornamental note paper OF half century
ago. when the Jingle, with many pen
flourishes. ran thus:
Roses are red, and vlolets arc blue,
Sugar Is sweet, and SO are YOU"
Now the roses and violets are con-
SERVED leaves Of the one and blossoms
Of the ether, and they are sent IN a
crimson satin hcart-shaped box with a
chubby, rosy, hand-painted cupid on the
outside, but they mean just the same
thing in the one instance as the other,
the difference OF time makes the differ-
ence Of expression; that is all.
A pretty story told Of a French woman
Of rank and great beauty Is that she
tnce was sitting In her palace on Valen-
tines Eve, withoail the splendid gifts that
had been sent her from many sources
as reminders OF the festival around her.
She was a little llstess and wearied OF
them all. and was walking impatiently
to and fro when a servant entered.
bringing her a little basket OF blue and
white wood Wiolets, like these that grew
In the forests near her childhood's home,
and had made The" first valentine offering

she had been a simple untutored girl,
and the world and worldly splendors had
no place In her mind
She stretched out her hand for the
basket and bent. ,oyer*it with cry Of
Joy inhaling the perfume Of its fragrant
burden and listening with quivering lips
to the message the wiolets gave. That
night when she moved radiant and
Queenly figure amid the gay throngs at
great court celebration. n Marechal Of
France noticed the blue and white vlolets
she carried In her hand, and with his
thoughts reverting to the First Empire
and the Napoleonic colors. he said In
Quiringly. as he bent before her. and
touched her flowers:
''For the sake of the past madame 2"
She raised her eyes that might have
borrowed their hue from the blossoms
and that had in their depths the eneffable
sweetness Of an ever-present memory and
answered slowly:
For the sake Of the past. SIRE
So 1t has always been. so it will ever
be. The shrine OF good Saint Valentine
will be heaped as high in 1908 as ever
before Milady will pehaps flush rosy
red with pleasure over something that Is
very symboical Of the season, over
which her lover has spent much cara
