lished usage, "The man sticks closer
to the valentine that has fallen to
him than to the valentine to which
he has fallen" Often marriage re-
suited from these valentine parties as
the couples were supposed to pay
frequent visits to each other during
the ensuing year.
Another valentine custom of sew

CHANGED to walk abroad on St. Val
cntines Day the first maiden he met
was supposed 10 be his future wife or
vice versa. OF course. it was easy
for the bachelors and maidens to ar
range to meet the right person. AS
late as the eighteenth century Gus
toms akin to those praCtlCed on Hal
lowe'en were in vogue. one of the
most rigid tests was that of a girl
pinnins n bay leaf to each corner OF
her pillow and one in the middle be-
fore going to bed. If the maiden then
dreamed of a man il was regarded as
a sure sign that he would become her
husband before the end of the year.
Still another curious scheme of
finding ones true lover comes from
Scotland--that of writing the names
OF several SWANS on paper and put
ting them inside Of balls of clay. The
balls were then dropped into water
and the clay left to fall apart. The
one that rose first to the surface was

drew out the names and thus the
mon and women were paired off by
chance. Frequently, the names put
into the box were those of women Of
questionable character and the day
was spent in wild orgies. The Church
tried to weed out this part of the
ceremony and finally did succeed in
modifying the affair by substituting
the names OF saintsainstead of living
women-these saints to be the patrons
for the coming year of the men draw
ing the names from the box. This
new plan for a time stopped the Gus
tom altogether as the young men re-
fused TO play the game unless the
valentines were real flesh and blood.
Old Customs.
a century or more later the custom
was revived but on slightly differ
ent plan and was kept up until n
century ago especially in Scotland,
England and several countries on the
Continent. The new custom was the
transformation OF the disgusting
pa gan rites 10 a gay, innocent amuse-
ment for the young folks The game
differed, too, from the fact that the
names of both girls and men were put
in the box and when girl drew out
name she claimed the man whose
name was written there as her valen-
tine. When man drew out the name
he did the same. consequently. each

Evolution OF the Valentine.

Although few of the old practices
of the day prevail. the one of sending
love missves is still in vogue. Each
year the tokens become more eXpens-
I've although the valentine print re-
mains--the evolution Of the shower
of love letters of the seventeenth CEN
fury. Like everything else the style
of these love tokens has changed with
the years when old styles give way
TO new. The earliest valentines were
crude drawings of huge Cupids hold
ing men and women by reins as though
driving them into matrmony. These
so-called sweetheart letters were black
and white, but when the colored ones
put in an appearance they were even
worse as the harmony Of colors had
no part in their makeup.
The advent of cheap postage gave
the valentine industry an impetus
and during the nineteenth century
they were sent out by the thousands.
There was the lace paper valentine
which when spread out showed tiny
Cupids bearing baskets Of forget me-
nots. violets and other flowers set in
frames of lace paper; verses pouring
out the love of the sender We're print
ed on every page. These were succeed
ed by the handpainted satin affairs
showing Cupids holding wedding rings
and turtle doves over poetry which
told of the undying devotion of the
man or woman whose affection
prompted the .gift. The celluloid val
entine was work OF art in the way

twisted into love knots. or course,

Tradition of Birds.

Another tradition of the origin of
the selection of February fourteenth
as the day for sending love missivcs
This writer thinks with the poet that
in the Springtimc the young mans
thoughts lightly turn TO love at
comes at the time of the turn of the
Seasons" he declares. "the beginning
OF the Springtime, or at least the time
when thoughts begin TO turn to the
regeneration of the earth and fresh
hopes revive in human hearts" 9th
ors believe that it has its origin in
the mating time for birds and give
as proof of this, the old English
tradition of the rocks taking their
mates on that day. The story is told
how on this day at a certain place in
England these birds gather in great
numbers on the lower branches of
gigantic tree, while an old crow act
ing as parson sits on tho top chatter
ing away. evidently performing a
ceremony, for as soon as he has nm
ishcd the young birds rs away on their
honeymoon.
Mixed Words.
Still another legend of the day
comes from noted ctymologist. This
; learned man is of the opinion that
Valentine Day has nothing 10 do with
either the birds or the good bishop,
and declares that the name is the
coupling of the Latin word "valens,"
meaning gallant or valiant, and rle
Norman word "salatin''-a lover of
the fair sex. lie points out that V
