ST. VALENTINE IN YEAR 1854
Love Plants of Youths and Maidens
Certainly No Sillier Now Than
Then.

Some folks find everything worse
than what is old Among other things,
the behavior of youth is condemned as
more thoughtless and inconsequential
than ever before. The young girl is
called unconscionably silly in regard
to men. But just read this confession
of young girl in 1854:
Last Friday was St Valentines
day, and the night before l got five
bay leaves, and pinned four on the
corners of my pillow and the fifth to
the middle, and then if l dreamt of
my sweetheart, Betty said we should
be married before the year was out.
But to make it more sure, l boiled an
egg hard, and took out the yolk and
filled it with salt; and when l went
to bed ate it, shell and ALL without
speaking or drinking after it. We also
wrote our lovers names upor bits of
paper, and rolled them up in clay, and
put them into water; and the first that
rose was to be our valentine. Would
you think it? Mr.. Blossom was my
man. l lay abed, and shut my eyes,
all the morning till he came to our
hOuoC, lOI Woulu hOl nave seen du-
other man before him for all the
world"
Probably the popular song of today
is the most inane form that the alpha
bet has ever taken. And yet in the
eighteenth century "Thc Cabinet of
Love; or Cupid's Repository" used to
contain this sort of thing:
The beauties of her polished mind,
1t needs no lovers eye to find;
The hermit freezing in his cell.
Might wish the gentle Flavia well.
Certainly the gentle Flavia deserved
"the book" And just listen:
You are the girl 1 delight in
Much more than haddock, smelts, or
whiting.
This may not be quite so bad as the
contemporary popular song, but it isn't
worlds away. Possibly, after all, our
predecessors didn't have so much on
us in the line of Observation-Disclosures
Weekly.

Picture Post Cards.

The picture post card, which so
revolutionized the observance of st.
Valentines day in the United States,
is very recent idea. 1t was born
In Europe about seven years ago, and
from small beginning has grown
into a manufacturing industry that
employs thousands of people through
out the world. The first cards were
photographs or paintings of crowned
heads, prominent personages and ac-
tresses Then came scenes of noted
places. excellent examples of art
nouveau, mezzotints, sepia work,
poster effects. and then sketches
done by artists of note The puzzle
card being set of several pieces that
have to be pieced together to make
one large picture, almost set France
crazy tor awhile. People would get
part of design and watch the mail
with great curiosity to see what was
coming next. The comic card has
had great vogue abroad, but has been
very much restricted in this country
on account of the United States post
office placing it under a ban.

First Painted Valentine.

seated in a bower, with a church in
the distance, and few lines descrip-
tive of the tender sentiments of the
persons forwarding the same. The
designers of these amatory billets
seem to nave 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 scarlet gown,
with blue or green shawl; the gen.
tleman was attired in lavender trous-
ers, yellow waistcoat, blue surtout,
and green or crimson cravat The ef-
feet thus obtained was, as might be
imagined, somewhat striking; hut our
fathers and mothers were apparently
satisfied with these quaint produc-
tions. The introduction of the cheap
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
for the introduction of the comic val
entine, that hideous bit of vulgarity
sold for a cent in the United States
and in Great Britain for penny or
a half-penny, which still remains one
of the tribulations of the day. But
side by side with this monstrosity
grew up the pretty and fanciful cards
whose use in modified form has been
extended also to Christmas and to
New Years.

FROM PAGAN Times
Celebration of st. Valentines Day
Is One of the Oldest of
ON Customs.

St Valentines day is the outgrowth
of a pagan custom. The feast of Lu-
peccalia, which was held on February
Is in honor of the great god Pan, was
undoubtedly it's origin. At this feast
the names o. the virgin daughters of
Rome were put in 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 ID. 270. When the
saint came to be placed in the calen-
dar his name was 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 swains of that
period had to content themselves and
their idolized fair ones with thick
sheets OF gilt-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
gradually came into use They gen
orally consisted of a gaudily colored
picture, representing a lovely couple

In these girlish dreams to which all

"Oh, Pamela" whispered Elizabeth
gleefully. "it is from your sweet.
heart!"
But Pamela shook her head very
positively.
She was entirely in the dark as to
the identity of Arthur Eustacs Hen
derson. She had not a single young
man acquaintance in the city, and was
quite free from the usual entangle-
ments of youth. Hardly more than
child. her life had been hedged about
with peculiar carefulness, and until
this moment she had not met with the
tiniest whisper of romance.
1t seemed like an age before she was
free to hasten to the shabby little
apartment, so poor in its appoint
ments, SO rich in its unpurchasable
atmosphere of love.
Who Arthur Eustace Henderson was
indeed was mystery. The Aldersons
were acquainted with few people in
the city. He did not belong to the
church they attended; there was no
young man of that name employed in
Mr.. Miller's division. His name, was

She scribbled busily away for few
minutes and then handed over the
following screed adorned with u cir
Gle in inky-red hearts.
Love is such n funny thing.
It's something like a lizard;
1t winds itself around your heart,
And nibbles at your giZzard.
Well" said Miss Ellsworth in dis
gust, "if you are going to send a val
entine. send one; don't send thing
like that. 1t isn't even decent"
Elizabeth sat nibbling her pen ham
die pensively as the verse was passed
around among the girls. 1t was at
this psychological moment that one of
the errand boys came around the table
and placed in front of Pamela a small,
square box neatly wrapped IN white
paper and tied with gilt cord. Eliz-
abeth's eyes widened with excite
ment:
"A valentine! Oh. kiddo," she said
enthusiastically, "some one has sent
you a valentine"
"Oh. no." said Pamela, quite posi-
lively.
"oh. yes" said Elizabeth "open it.
Let's see!"
Sure enough when the box was
opened it disclosed a very pretty val
entine, all pink roses, flying doves and
gilt arrows, The heart in the center
bore in fancy script the following sen.
timent:

sun,
Or springtime with no fair and fra
grant flowers.
But with thy love. dear heart. my life
doth run
In golden streams and through bright
fairy bowers.
The expression ef surprise on Pam
elias face deepened into amazement
as she read the neatly typewriter
note which accompanied the valen'
tine:
