HAS NEVER FORGIVEN eAzAiNE

Paris, Feb. 13-Today saw the CEN
tenary of the birth of Marshal Ba-
zaine, who played most conspicuous
part in the history of the last half
of the nineteenth century, in the New
World as we'll as in the Old. Born at
Versailles, Feb 13, 1911. Bazaine
served brilliantly in Algeria, and in
Spain against the Carlists. He COM
manded the foreign legion in the
Crimean war and few years later he
was in the Italian campaign. where he
won distinction at the battle of Sol
ferino. He not only took part in the
expedition to Mexico, but he was made
commander-in-chief of the army there
in 1868. But Notwithstanding this
brilliant record of servict for his coun-
try the one hundredth anniversary of
the famous marshals birth was al
lowed to pass absolutely unnoticed.
For France has never forgotten nor
forgiven the fact that 1t was Bazaine
who surrendered Metz to the Germans,
though unpreludiced historians are
generally agreed that the marshal was

HEARTS
Will Be TfImp Tomorrow,
Valentine Day

Tuesday will be Dan Cupid's spec
ial day, Hearts are trump then, and
every possible manifestation of Gu
pids charms are allowed full sway.
Shy youths are made strong of heart,
they say, and fair maidens succumb
TO earnest pleadings on this day.
st. Valentines day is surely one of
the very incest of the old customs
handed down to us by our ancestors.
1t Is custom which never seems to
grow old, and this year in Mt. Vernon
it will be observed more than ever
Never before have the merchants
made such lavish preparation for
this day, and everything in novelties
can be obtained for its observance.
None of the repulsive old-fashioned
paper valentines will be seen in the
city this year. They have too long
sullied the name of the day, and have
caused no little trouble, and often
heartaches for the recipient. In its
place have come the comic post card.
These border on the humorous, and
the accompanying pictures are often
hte source of much delight and plea
sure, especially for the children. The
old-fashioned lace valentine with its
mystic signs of hearts and arrows has
also been relegated to the shelves,
and must make room for the dainty
hand-painted and embossed post card,
which modern times say is the proper
thing. All sorts of cards and book
let's are to be found, and the tastes
of the most fastidlous have been sat
isfied.
Our ancestors used to assemble on
81. Valentines eve and put the names
of all the young maidens promiscu.
lously In box and let each bachelor
draw one out. The damsel whose
name fell to his lot became his val
entine for the year. Nowadays young
people exchange missives in which
the love of the sender Is told In YER.
Ses, pictures ana sentiments. Flowers
make their way to the home of some
lady love, or perhaps picture or a
bit of jewelry. Girls love to exchange
little gifts among each other on this
day, as perhaps dainty handkerchief
or bit of neckwear. 1t is splendid
time to remember an obligation to
some friend by sending some small
gift to pay up the old score.
There never was u better time of
the year for entertaining, and the
clever hostess recognizes this. The
observances lend themselves well for
nothing prettier for decorations than
the bright red hearts. Hearts may
also be carried out in the refresh
ments as the confectioners make a
specially of this day, and hasten to
supply the demands of their patrons.
