FROM PAGAN ZINES
Celebration Of ST. Valentines Day
Is One Of the Oldest Of
Our Customs.

81. Valentines day Is the outgrowth
OF a pagan custom. The feast Of Lu-
percalia, which was held on February
is in honor OF the great god Pan. was
undoubtedly its origin. At this feast
the names OF the virgin daughters OK
Rome we're put In a box and drawn
therefrom by the young men and
each youth was bound to offer a gift
to the maiden who fell to his lot and
to make her his partner during the
time Of the feast.
This custom became allied with the
name Of st. Valentine, probably only
through a coincidence in dates. st. Val
entine was a bishop Of Rome during
the third century. He was martyred
on February IA, A. d. go. When the
saint came to be placed in the calen-
dar his name wns given to the day
Of his death, and this was made a
festival.
In the days OF quill pens and dear
postage the transmission Of valentines
through the post was an expensive
luxury. The amorous SWANS Of that
period had to content themselves and
their idolized fair ones with thick
sheets Of g~ilt-edged letter paper, the
first page Of each being adorned with
a gift Cupid, carefully gummed.
With the reduction of the heavy
postal charges printed valentines

designers of these amatory billets
seem to have entertained rather singu-
lar notions respecting the proper at
titude Of the ladies' and gentlemen of
whose feelings they sought to be-
come the interpreters. The lady was
invariably dressed in a scarlet gown,
with a blue or green shawl; the gen

postage of today laid the foundation
OF the present trade in valentines
the manufacture of which now consti-
tutes an important branch of indus
trial activity, furnishing, directly or
indirectly, employment to several
thousand persons of both sexes.
Cheap postage is also responsible

Baca being an adviser of General Sal
