folks assembled and inscribed on little
billets the names of all the bachelors

drew them out lottery-wise, care being
taken, of course, that each person
drew the name of a member of the
other sex.
The person thus drawn became ones

by fate was supposed to impose on the
couple sort of loyalty for the coming
year.
The result can readily be imagined.
The loyalty brought about by the val

CUPID AIMED HIGH
Valentine Written by French
Duke Earliest Specimen of
That Kind.

The earliest specimen of a written
valentine was by Charles, duke of Or
leans, who was taken prisoner at Agin-
court and detained in England %
years.
During the greater part of the eight
zenith century valentines in the form
of a sheet of note paper, in which
were inscribed some sentimental verse
or contained a courteous expression of
attachment, were popular.
The children of the more refined
class were not willing to lose their
merry-making, and for their sake few
prettier pictures and verses were pro-
! duced; but the old custom having fall
len into disrepute was sinking lower
and lower, when it was arrested by a
powerful upward movement.
This improvement began in the thir-
ties and was due to a number of ladies
who, aided by the highest in the land,
opened for large number new field
of labor. Hundreds of refined women
became engaged in the manufacture of
valentines, the work being done in
their homes.
Nor were these little love tokens
the only articles to benefit by this up
lift, but art in all it's branches rapidly
progressed, as was shown at the open
, ing of the first international exhibition
by Queen Victoria and the Prince
Consort in May, 1851.
AT this period, in order to give a
standing to the humble valentine, was
issued a series of six valentines in
honor of the marriage of Queen Vic
toria to Prince Albert of xe-Coburg-
Gotha, February 10, 1910. These val
entines depict various royal residences,
some of them the abodes of the queen
and her royal consort.
The pictures are made from sheets
of cork stamped III has relief the foli-
age being represented by granular
pieces of cork. Some of them were
painted with oil colors.
The cards bearing the cork pictures
are glued to perforated sheets of vari-
GUS designs with gilt decorations three
by four and one-half inches in dimen-
sions.
The making of these lace cards was
done Icy men who devoted their entire
time to this branch of the business.
These men after receiving the en-
bossed sheets laid them one sheet at q
time on steel die and adjusted exact
ly by means of regulating pins at the
corners, and then with fiat iron tools
covered with fine sandpaper, they
rubbed off the projecting bosses In the
paper.

Valentine in Literature.

In literature Valentine day has been
touched upon for several hundred
years. AS far back as February IA,
1867, the famous Pepys made entry in
his more famous diary that he had
been able to escape buying his wife a
valentine by buying her a ring she had
long wanted, and he would have had to
get anyway. Charles Lamb wrote a
sort of invocation to Bishop Valen.
