Some St. valentIne "pon,ts." !"

Remember that you want to enjoy
the st. Valentine party as we'll as
your guests; therefore observe these
rules:
Don't fret and worry every hour of
the preceding day until you are ner-
vous and sensitive to everything that
goes wrong.
Don't rush your games too close on
each others heels. Young people
like to talk.
Don't seem to be making an effort
to entertain them at every moment.
Suggest the games when the talking
grows little less spirited.

st. Valentines Day was originally
the day dedicated to the incoming OF
spring. The Romans kept It In honor
Of Pan and Juno, and the festival,
which lasted several days, was called
"Lupercalia. The early Christian
church, desiring to effect a change in
this much-abused feast, very adroitly
reconstructed the old practice of the
lottery Of lovers names. In place Of
the names of real youths and maid
ems. whose appellations, written on
slips of paper, were drawn by the
young people of the time, the church
substituted the names of the saints.
The idea had its own beauty, and the
notion Of dedication was thus pre-
served In more spiritual sense than
In the old Roman festival. This feast,
and not the existence of the real st.
Valentine. Is the origin of the gallant

The Fear Of Age.

Why do so many women regard
age with such affrightG Viewed
from the vantage ground of youth, 1t
seems to them that the end OF youth
means the end Of love, and to many
women the end of love is even more
appalling than the end of life. They
forget that the love which depends
only on youth and beauty is as likely
to take to itself wings in the heyday
OF life as later. Nothing is potent
enough to hold an emotion as evans
cent and unstable as thistledown.-

That Little Valentine Boy.

His other name is Cupid. That is
what the old Romans called him.
He had still another name given him
by the early Greeks, Eros. But what
ever he may be called, he is the same
jolly little sprite that you paint, draw
or paste on your valentines as the
love fairy.
He looks very harmless with his
chubby-baby cheeks and his loving
eyes. But look at him closely and
you will find in those eyes sparks Of
mischief glinting through the love,
like points of mica in quartz rock.

An Excuse For Coquetry.


Feminine coquetry has one capital
excuse--its cause Is entirely mascu-
line. For the craving of women for
elegance, luxury In dress and their
extravaganza In jewelry and other or
namentation are merely an outcome
OF their desire to please man, to at
tract his attention and conquer him.
AS Sig. Cadalso discovered not long
ago. the instinct is irresistible even
among women In prison, writes Pro-
fessor Lombroso. In the Chicago Tri-
bune. Complete isolation from the
outer world. the fact that they can
never be seen by men, is not sufficient
to stifie in them the desire of being
beautiful and elegant. Prison rules
In Italy are most strict, especially so
Tar as the dress of the prisoners is
concerned. Powder, scent, cosmetics
and all other landmarks of vanity
are forbidden. but coquetry is strong
er than rules.

which they proudly coated their faces.
one woman was found with her
cheeks covered with rouge like a bal

she had managed 1t. Her cell was
thoroughly but vainly searched.
Eventually the mystery was solved.
In the nightgowns used by the prison
