known as sweeping the girls" II
girl is not kissed by an admirer be-
fore nine o'clock on st. Valentines
morning she is said to be dusty" Ac-
cordingly all the young men of the
neighborhood on learning that some
young woman has remained unkissed
past the fatal hour make an attack
on her house with brooms, and after
sweeping her thoroughly, each OF her
callers kisses her.
The French province of Lorraine has
& custom somewhat similar, which is
called beating the ladies'" 1t dates
back to the sixteenth century. On
st. Valentines morning every mar
riageable daughter is expected to arise
at daybreak and bake a heart-shaped
cake for the first young man who may
come for 1t. If she should oversleep
however, and her lover should call to
find her all unmindful of him and the
occasion which brought him to her
door then his rivals are privileged to
punish her in the following fashion:
Armed with wisps of hay they may in
wade her room and. compelling her to
get up, they may administer a not es-
pecially ungentle thrashing.
In the county of Norfolk, England,
there still survives custom which
recalls the times when ST. Valentines
day was observed throughout Great
Britain and the continent by the pre-
sentation of substantial gifts. In this
way not only lovers remembered their
mistresses, but parents their children.
husbands their wives, and in the mer-
ry days of Charles II. husbands gave
presents to other mems wives.
Among the young women of Devon
shire the belief still fingers that they
are able to learn who their future hus-
bands will be If they go through a
certain peculiar formula shortly after
the midnight that ushers In st. Valen-
tines day. Each maiden should go
alone to the porch of the village
church and there wait until 1890 a. m.
Then as the bell strikes the half hour
she should return home scattering
hempseed in her path and repeating:
"Hempseed / sow. hempseed I NOW.
He that will my true love be.
Come, rake this hempseed after me-"
And If she is going to be married
in the next year she will indeed see
her lover behind her clad in wind
ing sheet and raking up the hempseed.
In many parts of Germany the chill
dren find st. Valentines day special
occasion to obtain charity from young
women, who cannot refuse them with
out being threatened with the fate of
becoming old maids. In certain vii
lagos of Saxony little boys and girls
go from house to house singing a song
which has been translated as follows
into English rhyme:
"God bless the baker,
II you'll be the giver,
I'll be the taker."

Yet the most picturesque st. Valen-

in the big cities, but in out-of-the-
way regions, where human nature re-
tains much of its old-time simplicity
In some of the rural villages of Eng

the time of Queen Elizabeth and many
a quaint superstition still survives.
In remote villages of Derbyshire the
custom still prevails OF maidens look
ing out of their windows in the early
morn of st. Valentines day to learn
who their lovers may be. Every girl
who wants to get married is supposed
to jump out of bed just at daybreak
and dressing hastily open a wondow
facing the street. There she must
wait until some man passes by, who
tips his hat and says to her: Good
morrow, it's st. Valentines day." In
reply she says: "Good-morrow, sir,
Ill be your valentine" AS usual
thing, however, the passerby is not a
stranger. A Derbyshire girl usually
keeps the shutters closed until through
some crevice in them she espies the
man she wants.
