- UAIIENTINE DAY antedates the
 Christian era for it was one
 of the customs of the Roman " Lupercalia. The early Chris tians found it difficult to get the peo- ple to break away from the pagan customs at once so they gradually changed the festivities and finally the names. To make the transformation of this day complete it was decided by the reform element that the day should henceforth be known as St. Valentines Day, and that 1t should be celebrated on February Fourteenth in honor of St. Valentine, the great bishop, who was beheaded 27C. A. D., by tho prosecutors of the early Chris tians because he had performed the remarkable miracle restoring the sight of his jailors blind daughter.
 Although the name of the day was changed it still remained the feast of lovers and the boys and girls as late as Pepy's time, 16G1. were wont to choose human valentines as in the days of the Lupercalia.
 The evolution of the day from the psuaa feast was slow, and it was not until 1415, that the written messages of love were sent. At that neriod lovers were supposed to compose the love rkymes sent to their sweethearts Tho Duke of Orleans seems to have been tho pioneer in this line, as aftel he was taken prisonersat the battle o1 Aeia court he spent his days of incar ceissttun in writing love poems.

The Cathedral League of Maryland
intended to have this year a series of
services of inspiration and interces-
sion on the last Friday of each month
at Grace and st. Peters Church; Mon

The center aisle has been reserved
by the Cathedral League, and the
members are requested to be present,
wearing their badges, which alone en-

Bishop Du Moulin for the first of these
addresses which will take place on
the afternoon of November 90, at 4

ant that every woman in the League

ITALIAN PARTY
CALL ON WILSON

BY HENRY WOOD

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
ROME, Nov 2l-(By maiD-Fol-
lowing the remarkable development
the cooperative stores movement
has taken in Italy as result of the
war. the Italian government has
provided for establishment of these
institutes under government con-
troll.
The government co-operatives will
in no way interfere with the pri-
vately established ones already ex-
isting. Most OF these have been es-
tablished under the auspices of va
rious organized bodies such as the
Railway Employees, the various labor
unions, government employees, news
papers men and in fact by just about
every civil, social, laobr and fra
ternity body existing in Italy.
The government co-operatives at
the outset will will provide for sup
plying $4,000 families, or over
L. 500, 900 individuals.
1t is expected that in the purchase
on the open market of the food and
other merchandise that will be sold
by these co-operatives, saving of
to s percent will be effected A si-
milar saving will be made in the
selling price to the members of
each cooperative. These latter at
the end of the year will also par
ticipate in any profits which the
government co-operatives may have
acquired.
This establishment of government
co-Operatives by Italy marks the
greatest advance made yet by any
government in assuming govern
mental responsibility for lowering
the cost of living
