Something of Origin
of Valentines Day

The custom of sending valentines
bearing tender messages of love APP
pears to have had its beginning in the
early Christian era of Rome, 469 A.
d., at the season when the young men
and maidens were enjoying the joint
festivities of Juno and Pan, known as
the feast of Lupercalia, which took
place on Feb. 10. At the time of this
festivity the maidens' names were
written on slips of parchment and
placed in an urn. Each youth, blind
folded, was led to the urn from which
he drew a slip of parchment. She
whose name he drew would be his
partner during the festivities.
AS time went on these celebrations
degenerated until they shocked the
sensibilities of the pious priests and
other churchmen Of that time and they
were finally influential in having the
date Of the festival set back one day
to make it fall on the anniversary OF
st. Valentines martyrdom.
Gradually the pagan drawing Of lots
for partners fell into disuse and re-
manned forgotten until the 18th CEN
fury when it was partially revived but
from that time on the custom OF writ
ing love sentiments and rhymes on
Valentines day began to grow and it
has continued more or less regularly
in use ever since.
The custom Of young men and wom-
en- choosing each other as valentines"
for the ensuing year by sort of lot
terry and of sending of affectionate
missives to each other on Valentines
day, once very common, grew out of an
old notion that the birds selected their
mates on that day. Many valentines
are still sent by arorous young people
TO the objects of their alteration but
the custom appears to be growing less
common each year.
4 Modern youths and maidens must be
somewhat more coy and modest than
those Of earlier times for they are
more loath TO confide their sincere
expi essions of love and affection to
valentine messages; they prefer to
whisper their sweet nothings" direct
" into the ear Of the object Of their
valentines one sees nowadays are eth
er of q comic or . rather non-com.
initial amorous character.
