A Roman Custom.

The martyrdom of st. Valentine came
at a time when pagan Rome was cele-
brating the Lupercaha, the feast of
Februato Juno, the patron goddess Of
the bachelor maids Of Rome. On Feb
ruary a it was the custom OF adoles-
cent Romans to gather at afternoon and
evening affairs and determine questions
of matrimony by the drawing Of lots.
The names of the eligible bachelors were
placed in a helmet and those of the coy
young maidens in basket The maids
each drew a name from the helmet or
the boys from the basket. This cere-
mony was sufficient to marry the cou-
pies, the contracts rs to property being
made later.
Now this custom of solving the mat
rimoDial problem simply and effectively
was popular pastlme in Rome for
centuries. The early Christian fathers
found IT easier to convert the pagans
to Christianity than to wean them en-
tirely away from the old Roman Gus
toms. With considerable wisdom they
decided to appropriate many of the
Roman celebrations and make them
Christian feasts. So the feast of love
became Christian feast. 1t appeared
to bo convenient to commemorate the
good st. Valentine by remaining the
pagan festival in his honor. And so
we have St, Valentines day.
ST Valentine day has been celebra-
ted in various fashions since, the cele-
bration always being associated with
the gentler sentiments. 1t comes at
the beginning OF season when sti-
ment is rampant. 'In the springtime
the young man S fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love"
Many pretty stories are told Of St
Valentines day, One is that the good
saint was very fond of birds and when
the birds came north too. early and the
snow and cold gave the winged chirpers
a chilly reception the good saint scat
commemoration of the kind deeds Of the
saint, the story runs, the birds chose
his day as the day for mating and on
that day each bird chooses his maid and

The celebration OF the anniversary of

ioe one of the essential parts of a
