PUZZLE THE SAINT
Good Old Bishop Seen Wondering at
the observances Accompanying
His Natal Day.

In the general exchange of greet
ings, that vary srom the penny card
to the expensive floral offerings to
friends, sweethearts and wives, it
may be interesting to look to the why
and wherefore of this days celebra-
ton.
In the first place, there doesn't seem
to be any reason why little Eros, the
god OF love, has been SO hopelessly
tangled up with the austere bishop
who gave his name to the day.
Tradition gives US no reason for at
tributing love songs or lifting mes
sages to the good old saint. Indeed,
he was far from the thoughts of the
human emotions. His tranquil stead
fastness to the Christian faith
brought down the wrath of the Claud-
ian persecution, and he was thrown
into prison. The blind daughter OF
the keeper OF the prison pitied the
unfortunate captive and tried to COM
fort him. She was rewarded by the
return OF her eyesight, due to St Val
entine, legend tells us. Because OF
streets and finally beheaded.
Perhaps the pity of the blind girl
was akin to love, and there may be
this faint claim to the invasion Of
this factor.
At any rate, ladies have sighed and
lovers have burst forth into avow-
ais of their affections, on paper
In the days of the quill pen, the
valentines were considered luxury,
and hours were spent guiding and
painting and decorating with verse,
homemade and otherwise. Hearts,
doves and cupids were brought into
play, and if one halted for a declara-
ton of passion that was glowing and
ardent, he had but to turn to the
Valentine Writer, or the Lovers In
structor, a guide to the passionate
expression of the hearts love.
In 1900 the first made-to-order val
entinei appeared for sale Since that
time factories of many lands have
been busily making millions Of these
little and great illusions
Poor ST. Valentine would be aston
ished at the impetus that he has
given to business and the mails
He would probably rub his eyes and
gasp at the way his name has been
taken as a clever excuse for the ex.
change of affectionate courtesies.

TO FINISH OFF THE TOILET
Dress Accessories Are Many. and
Notable Few Have the Merit
of Novelty.

A flower in your buttonhole Is the
correct thing to wear with a tailor
made costume, and in the evening
finish off your toilet with gorgeous
flower. There are camelias, magno-
las, velvet roses and flowers in tulle
and chiffon. Some have fur hearts
and tulle petals surrounded with paste
rhinestones. There are also flowers
made entirely Of fur; anemones in er-
mine, to be placed on black velvet
hats, and roses In chiffon edged with
skunk for the adornment of evening
dresses. For the latter flowers of
white lace are also worn rhinestone
cabochcns skilfully placed, initiating
dewdrops. Then there are flowers
made entirely of beads or spangles
in an infinite variety OF colors.
A great novelty at present is that
of feather flowers. A big chrysanthe-
mum in ostrich feathers with the
hearts formed of close cut black or
yellow feathers is very handsome.
Such flowers are worn on hats, fur
collars and muffs. There are pansies
made Of tiny ducks feathers fastened
together in tints shading from violet
to yellow. Some are tinted in the
most delicate shades, initiating nature
perfectly.
Charming tea roses, artistic pan
sizes, gigantic chrysanthemums, etc,
are made of lace, and there are small
roses made of feathers pasted and cut
short, and roses of chiffon edged with
small bands of fur: A very handsome
bouquet for the bodice is made of
ostrich feathers and pansies made of

The vogue of the black hat, SO evil

All colors seem to have a place, and
the change OF style Is more in the
materials used for developing hats
than in any decided readjustment Of
shapes. The apturned brim-a fea-
ture OF the late winter hat-has a
place among the straw models. A
striking hat. with a brim that stood
up had the straw edge made In a
square. with the points adjusted in
a way that resembled a crown when
placed on the head. This idea was

Some Differences Between osteopathy
 and Massage.

Some Differences Between osteopathy
 and Massage.
 Osteopathy is not massage. Yet many people believe it is much the same sort of thing. One frequently hears it said that "Osteopathy is a highly scientific form of massage, diff ferent mainly in that it's practitioners have to be we'll educated" etc. It is not true that massage is like osteop- athy. It is different in theory and practice both. This difference is shown by the radical difference in the way each is applied. Massage Is applied to the nude body. Osteopathic patients wear clothing while being treated. Massage is skillful rubbing of the body. and is very good indeed where it is timely-but it is not the thing needed in all cases of sickness. Sometimes it is even a detriment. Osteopathy consists of scientific ma nipulations, skillful technical opera tions-such, for instance, as surgeons employ in reducing dislocations-and there is never at any stage the least bit of rubbing or batting the body about it. Osteopathy is never a detri- ment to any form of disease when properly applied, and it can be used with some measure of relief to those conditions which neither 1t nor any other agency can be expected to cure. Osteopathy is broad science of diag-, nosing and treating disease which aims to pay full regard to all the factors entering into each case-pre- disposing and exciting causes both; causes internal and causes external, to the body. ills physical and ills. mental. Surely. once you grasp this idea full you never again can let any one in your hearing confuse os- teopathy with massage. and intimate that they are "just alika''a or even much the same thing. ! Adx.
