CUPID'S ESPECIAL DAY
ISTHAT OF GOOD ST.
VALENTINE.

~ USTOM, more potent than any
Il other authority known to man,
U has decreed that on ST. Valen-
tines day those of opposite sex
shall exchange missives and epistles,
either comic or sentimental, in which
the foibles of the receiver or the love
Of the sender are set forth in prose,
in verse and in emblematic picture.
Now there is no custom without
reason, but the reason for this can
not be found in the life of the good
saint who is made to indorse this Gus
tom with his name
HE wrote no love song!
mo one rises to accuse him of cast
ing sleeps eyes on any Roman
maiden. He was bishop or pope OF
faith during the Claudian persecu-
tions, and for that faith was cast into
Jail, where he cured his keepers
daughter of blindness. Honi soft qul
NAL y pense! 1t is the pleasure Of
Cupid, blind himself to bring upon
his votaries a similar blindness, not to
cure 1t.
Nor was there anything comic or
sentimental in the fate of st. Valen-
tine when the miracle was made
known to the authorities. They first
beat him with clubs and then be-
headed him. What was left of him is
preserved in the Church Of St.
Praxedes at Rome, where a gate, now
known as the Porta del Popolo, was
formerly named in his honor Porta
Valentino, or Saint Valentines gate,
says william s. Walsh in his "Curiosi-
ties of Popular Customs"
| Bailey's English Dictionary (172D,
under the subject of Valentines, says:
About this time of the year-Febru-
ary-the birds choose their mates, and
probably thence came the custom OF
the young men and maidens choosing
valentines for special loving friends
on that day"
Francis Douce (1SO7), discussing
the same subject, says: ut was Gus
tomary to put the names of young
women into a box, from which they
were drawn by the men as chance dt
rected and the Christian clergy, find
ing it difficult or impossible to ex
tirpate, the pagan practice, gave it al
least religious aspect by substitut
ing the names of particular saints fol
those of the women"

The Valentine.

Next to our rejection Of Santa Claus
the worst thing that the sophistica-
ton of time does for us is to de-
stroy our interest in the other best
dates in the calendar. If some of us
strove to keep that interest alive we
might know life better and live longer.
One of these days is st. Valentines,
now near at hand. There was a time
in life of most men and women of
middle age today when the approach
of February IA meant thrill. 1t was
day of sentiment and humor To the
very young it was an occasion for the
exhibition of irresponsible and fire.
quently cruel play in the dispatch of
"comic"-and mostly coarse-valen-
tines. Old maids and bachelors and
other grownups of well known weak
nesses and tender sensibilities suffer
ed most, but even these could afford
to forgive and ignore the thoughtless
effrontery of children. The other and
elaborate valentines, however, if sent
| anonymously, bore mysterious, even
celestial message. There are, many
thousands of women still living to-
day who have some Of these lacy col
orful creations preserved in lavender.
And why not? There is all too little
of the tender and innocent expression
of distant and respectful regard for
women to be noted among men just
now, and altogether too much of a
bolder and degrading admiration

delightful variety which has a spice
of the devil in it and is known as
woman.
"In the latter part of the sixteenth
century" (according to Rev. Albain
Butler) "the church. in the person OF
st. Francis de Sales, once more
stepped in to sanctify the rites of st.
Valentines day. st. Francis severely
forbade the custom of valentines or
giving boys in writing the name of
girls to be admired and attended on
by them, and to abolish it he changed
it into giving billets with the names
of certain saints for them to honor
and initiate in particular manner"
But in the end the boys and the
girls triumphed over the saint. Nay,
the girls triumphed also over the
boys, wrestling from them their ex-
elusive privilege of choosing mates.
Last year an irate old maid who
had been the recipient of a comic
valentine which had stung her to the
quick repaired to the factory, where
it was made, with a rawhide and a
limb of the law. She demanded the
udlle VI inc ptlSOh WIN ldu SSuI ncl
the Objectionable missive. In vain
she was assured that the factory was
the last place in the world to learn
the name of the sender. When told
that the factory sold comics by the
hundred gross to jobbers who, in turn,
sold to wholesalers. and then supplied
the retailer dealer who vended to in
diyidual customers, she swore round
ly.
Many clever young people in society
with artistic and literary ability write,
paint and otherwise decorate the val
entines they send to favored ones. In
some instances part of the de1ora-
ton consists of jewels, diamonds,
pearls or other gems, and the in
trinsic value of the bauble is thus en-
hanced
Valentine parties are still in p,pu
lar favor, and those who have not
the ability to write love-sonnets or
design sentimental valentines fre.
quently go to artist friends, and even
to professional artists, and have pri-
vate valentines made. At these par
ties each person exchanges valen-
tines. French imported valentines run
as high as 5000 and $500, according
to the richness of the lace and other
trimmings, but these expensive mis-
sives are rarely kept in stock.

struck dumb by his threats, and when
with one blow he pushes down the
pillars of the temple, like Samson,
they rush forth in horror, expecting
him to be destroyed under the fall
ing walls. Instead of which st. Val
entine kneels unhurt, with seraphic
look upon his face, while the wrath
of their god is not shown by the
fierce wind and tempest which they
expect, and quantities of doves and
birds alight upon the neighboring
trees in peaceful flocks. st. Valen-
tine Immediately after this miracle
marries the first heather couple and
performs the first marriage ceremony
in Tyrol according to Christian rites,
which would seem to associate him
with at least two of the modern Gus
toms as the saint Of lovers, and with
the emblem of his doves and birds.

Centuries Have Failed to Dim the
Memory of the Good Old
Saint.
DISPUTE AS TO HIS IDENTITY
At Least Two Bishops of Ancient
Times Have Been Credited With
the Honor of Being the Founder
of the Day Consecrated
to Cupid.

mt. VALENTINE of blessed mem
ory, whose natal day falls upon
the 14th Of February, seems to
be the saint of this particular
season. His customs, which have sur
vived tn. 11"pse of centuries, are as
sociated in our minds with the send
ing of various amatory epistles, and
the rather more agreeable gifts and
presents, which are occasionally sent
in the shape of flowers and candies
by the young men and maidens, one
to another
New York and New Workers. still
retain memories of the saint, who
seems to have been like his associate,
the good st. Nicholas, patron saint
of the Netherlands, and in this con-
nection we, perhaps on account of our
Dutch ancestry, celebrate his festival
with a kettledrum, says the New York
Times. Far back in the mists of an
tiquity lies the origin Of the custom
of sending letters, or valentines, on
the saints day, while the original st.
Valentine would appear to be gifted
with as many lives as the proverbial
cat, or reincarnations under the same
title, for we find two bishops of the
name, Virgin martyr, and Tyro-
lean saint, all of whom have authentic
records of their lives and deaths pre-
served in history, and none of whom
would seem to be in any way con-
nected with the valentines of today.
However it is always possible to
reconcile the two or three, and there
is sufficient evidence to show that st.
Valentine, bishop of Rome, who died
In 27S A. D., was born on the 18th of
February, and he is so set down in
the Roman and Anglican calendars.
He was a martyr to his faith. and
when cast into prison by his enemies
he cured his keepers daughter of
blindness, for which miracle he was
beaten with clubs and then beheaded,
and his remains repose in the Church
st. Praxades, at Rome, while gate
now known as the Porto Popolo was
formerly called by the name of St
Valentine, or Porto Valentino.
Another Valentine, also a Bishop,
claims share in the day, and his
claim to saintship rests upon the cure
of the son of Grafton, the Rhetorician.
His death was caused by choking on
a fishbone, whether of his own choos'
ing or administered by his enemies
the legend does not state, but in Italy
and Greece they pray to this saint to
cure them from epilepsy.
The st. Valentine of Tyrol, who
seems to have been born little later
and who died in the fourth century
has a church conscrated to his mem
ory in South Tyrol, at Meran, where
he is supposed to have preached
Christianity to the heather Lompards
In the legend he appears as a beautl,
full youth attired in the dress of Ro'
man soldier bearing cross on MS
sword hilt, and coming over the noun
tains from Italy; entering Meran, In
what is now known as Tyrol, he en-
counters the heather priest of the
temple, and after a long argument
with him, he calls upon his gods TO
destroy the temple.
The heather and the priest are all

CHILDREN AT THE CAPITAL
Washington Is Noted for Its Many In
terestins unesters-Diplomatic
Corps Well Represented.

Visitors to Washington are often
surprised at the many beautiful and
engaging children to be seen here.
Some of the most interesting among
the many can be mentioned Senator
Dixons five little girls. The Swager
Sherleys of Kentucky have two beau
tiful little girls constantly attended
by French governess and maid. so
that they speak beautiful French and
very bad English, and Representative
Hobson, the much kissed hero of the
Merrimac, and his attractive young
wife have a most interesting family of
children.
Among the diplomatic folk there are
numbers and numbers of very beauti-
full and very engaging youngsters.
The little Baroness Hengelmuller,
whose father, the Baron Hengelmuller.
ambassador from Vienna. has Just
been recalled, was among the most
fascinating children of the capital. and
while she was much too old for the
frolicsome play hours of the park. she
was frequently seen out for her daily
walks with her Hungarian maid or her
French governess.
The Countess Benoist day before
her marriage to Lieutenant D'Azy,
now naval attache to the French en-
bassy, was Miss Caroline Jones of Chi
cago, and her two young sons are
typical Americans-they assert that
they are Americans, and nobody see
ing them would have any occasion to
dispute the statement.
But there are Nick Longworth's
young nephew and niece, who are in
tensely French. They are the chill
dren of the military attache of the
French embassy, Count De Chambrun
and Mr.. Longworth's sister, who pre-
rious to her marriage was Miss Clara
Longworth of Cincinnati. Both Adel-
bert and little Clara are typically
French in their speech and manners,
which probably is due to the constant
presence of French maids and
French governess.
In the Persian legation are three
attractive dark-eyed children-two
sons and a daughter. Their mother
was Miss Florence Breen of Boston
and their father Ali Kuli Kahn is
charge d'affaire of the legation. The
older of the boys, Rahim Kuli Kahn,
already is a general in the Persian
army, a complimentary title purely,
but he has most wonderful uniform
as insignia of his rank, and when he
dons it much to the delight of the
boys of the neighborhood he becomes
vastly more envied than the boys who
merely have Rough Rider suits or
Boy Scout uniforms. The three chill
dren are being given every advantage
of unspoiled American children and
are attending school in the public
schools of the capital.
Then there is one little girl in the
Turkish Cynthia, daughter
of Abdul Hak Hussein Bey. first sec
retary of the legation. and charm
ing English mother. who is also Civ
ing her little girl the advantages of
plain Americanism and sending her to
the public school.
The South American diplomatic
folk have a large company of clever
and attractive children. The Norwe-
J gian minister and Madam Byrn have
