p WAVE you forgotten about st.
20 Valentines day? 1t Is coming,
you know. OF course you can
not really have forgotten, with
oil the foolish, sentimental, happy
things cluttering up the show windows,
but you may have forgotten that st.
Valentines day is something more than
a window display and that you are a
part Of it, says the Indianapolis News.
1t is no good saying that you are not;
that you had nothing to do N-&h it in
the beginning and have nothing to do
with it now. If you have forgotten
and If you haven't a valentine stuck
away in your market basket, 1t is time
you were remembering.
1t is time you were remembering ev-
cry sweetheart you eve had and every
n you ever wished you had. 1t is
time you were remembering every bit
of proof you ever cherished that any
body, anybody at all, loved you. There
is no sense in being ashamed of it.

hearts would be a dismal thing, and

if you never had one-if you haven't
one now.
st. Valentine as we know him is
very likely a sentimentalist, but he is
a useful sort of person at that. He
makes it very easy for you to tell
folks that you love them, and that is
a thing that has to be told somehow
ONE time, although nobody Is sup
posed to know who is telling it.
OF course, like all sentimentalists,
st. Valentine Is likely to make many
mistakes, and that is the reason it Is
SO necessary for you to do your part.
He is likely to fill one pretty girls
room with flowers and give her more
candy than is good for her, forgetting
all about the girl across the street.
who really needs a little candy. He
loves to stuff the mail boxes with val
entines for the children, forgetting
that old ladies like them too.
He may persuade the agreeable bach
elor of comfortable years to send a
valentine to the young woman who
sits across the table from him at the
boarding house when 1t Is the woman.

Long before Rome was converted to

two sacred urns in the temple. of those
of the opposite sex who fate decreed

of the Lupercalia, changed it from Feb
