the day of st. Valentine.
The day in America is celebrated
principally by young people. and the
exchanging of valentines is common,
valentines ranging from the cheap,

st. Valentine a Martyr.
st. Valentine was a priest and mar
tyr in Italy in the third century, and
Valentines day is supposed to be the
anniversary of his death. But in this
origin there is no suggestion Of the
tendencies the observance of the day
has taken in later times.
Modern celebrations of Valentine

Columbus discovered America.
Many Valentine Customs.
Every neighborhood has had. Nalen-

custom several times. rcmarking on
one occasion that he did choose his
wife for his Valentine, which cost him
the sum of five pounds.

VALENTINE TINE AGAIN; Many Weird
SCHEMES OF TESTING MANS Love

One of the earliest Valentine Gus.
toms was for girls to hold parties and
write OH cards James of all the young
men they knew. These were drawn
from Il hat three times and Whenever
Il girl drew the same name three
times 1t was "a sign that the man in
question was destined tn marry her.
The presumption is that she saw 10 il
that the decision of fate was carried
uut.
Eat Shell With Eggs.
Another old custom was for q; girl
to boil an egg n take it to bed with
her, and at midnight cat il. shell and
all, thus inSuring an early marriage.
y custom that long persisted was
that OF sweeping the girls" ON VAL
entine morning these were spent with
brooms. after which the young men
called at the various houses and kissed
the girls.
Children Sang Carols.
In some English towns buns of cur
rant and carraWay We're given to all
children at the market place. In many
places the children went from home
to home singing, as they sang Chris
mas carols, and the people threw them
h~alf-pence.
Later on it was the custom to drop
small gifts at the duorways in the
town. ring the door bell and scamper
away, leaving tha recipients Of tho
gifts TO guess who the giver was. 1t
was believed that the first man a girl
met on st. Valentines morning would
be her husband. \ 9a{
Go to- C~bnrchyards.
In some parts OF England girls went
to the churchNarl mt midnight on ST,
Valentines eve and ran around the
church crying:
"He that loves me best
Come after me now"
At first valentines were in the ma
tnre of written messages. mostly orig
inal poems. These i'm time evolved in-
TO the regular printed valentine. which
grew more and more elaborate. The
custom Of valentine giving became
Very popular in London. \ public re-
port says that Valentine day, 1917.
100000 valentines were delivered by
