This quaint letter shows how the
idea OF the powers of st. Vanentine
were appreciated by the maidens OF
that time. It was customary In the
olden times for maidens to hang their
shoes outside the window on the eve
OF St. vanentine's day in order that
their love affairs should prosper, al.
though the explanation OF this belief
Ia not given. Children also went about
chanting songs about Valentine and
collecting coins as their valentines.
The valentine gifts of those days
were sometimes very costly. including
jewels. rings. brooches, silken sashes.
or belts with begemmed buckles. silk
gloves with rich embroidery, and other
expensive presents which q man might
make to his valentine"
st. Valentines day was alluded TO
by Shakespeare and Chaucer. and one
OF the earliest known writer's Of valen.
tines was Charles. duke of Orleans.
Drayton. a poet of Shakespeare's time.
also wrote charming verses along this
theme

death Of the good bishop, which oc-

In the gayest Of fashions, and always
In conjunction with the pranks OF the

Is still secret--the real mystery is
stiil unsolved.

HEART OF YOUTH THE SAME
Joy at Receiving Valentines Today
Probably a. Great az Ever In
the Past.

Elderly folk are wont TO smile in
diligently when st. Valentines day is
mentioned, and to say, with possibly
a reminiscent sigh. that It is now OBJ
served only by children who hardly
know its significance or understand
when they send gay missives back
and forth that they are celebrating
the patron saint of sweethearts. Per-
haps these elders forget that some
OF these they call children" are not
younger than we're they when lin
years gone by they thrilled and
smiled over the mysterious letters
with their tender messages--the lace
paper pages with embossed wreaths
OF rosebuds and gilt leaves encir>
cling sentimental rhymes: rhymes
sometimes printed. sometimes In
scribed by pen In disguised hand. for
the thought In the old day was that
valentines should be anonymous. leay.
Ing the recipient to guess the sender's
Identity There is reason to suspect
that IL the rhymes expressed an
especially loving thought. this iden.
tity was seldom deeply concealed. In
these days mere paper Is not enough
to~eonvey the message, 1t goes in
the shape of boxes OF vio.ets or of
oonoons or gifts more lasting and
valuable, and the sender takes good
care that there shall be no doubt as
to whence II comes, They do things
Inherently now than did the earlier
generation. but no doubt the thrill
and secret sense of satisfaction over
the attention Is the same. for the
heart OF youth does not vary from
age to age.
