Lovers Hearts,

How old Is the emblem Of Il lovers
heart? In the days before metals were
used weapons made of stone were
formed 10y prehistoric men. Among
the most notable OF such ancient weap-
ous are number OF beautifully chip
ped arrowheads which have been taken
TO be the work OF fairies and have
therefore been used as charms from
very remote times. In Scotland they
are called "elf bolts" and they are SO
shaped that when the central proiec'
tion is broken of the semhlance OF n
lovers heart remains. - London An
