LONG KNOWN AS THE
DAY OF HEARTS
AND LACE

For this was on seynt Valentines
day, Whan every bird cometh ther to
chose his e.'-Chaucer.
The old notion was hat birds be-
gan to choose their mates in Febru-
ary. Then Marcus Aurelius Flavius
Claudius had a bishop of the church
put to death on IA February, seventeen
hundred and fifty-two years ago. The
bishop became a martyr and n saint
and because his name was valen.inus-
February IA became his day, st. Val
entlne's day.
II is easy to find some satlrical sig
nlfcance in the ~superposition on the
calendar OF these days, the bishops
ind the birds. 1t takes something of
the courage of a Christian martyr to
publicly choose n mate. They used to
draw lots on st. Valentines eve, the
young men and the young women
gathered together. making merry. And
il is safe TO suppose that when a
young man was not pleased with his
lot, he made sarcastic remarks, until
1t occurred to him to transfer his bit
terness into drawings which exag-
gernted the crossed eyes or the
straight hair or the ugly expression
OF the unloved one. Having vented
his W wrath. he could then show II
to her, thus srolling the evening for
both of them. but possibly satisfying
the ~"grouch" that at some seasons af.
nlcts ever lovers.
It's a fortunate thing that the people
who start customs which are to last
until the planet cools, have no notion
Of what they are starting. Fancy poor
old Valentines dismay us he assembled

name would be tnken In vain by every

Valentines day is now almost out

tom of sending anonymous letters or
cards of amatory significance has been
on the wane.
True, 1t is an ancient custom, insti-
tuted long before the Christian era.
and the day is mentioned by Shake
speare, Ohaucer. and as well by Lyd-
gate, who died In the middle OF the
Fifteenth century. One of the earliest
known writer's of valentines, or poeti
cal amorous addresses. was no less n
parsonage than Charles. duke of Or
leans. Drayton. n contemporary of
Shakespeare, wrote:
Muse bid the morn awake,
Sad winter now declines;
Each bird doth choose a mate,
This days st. Valentines:
For that good bishops sake
Get up and let us see
What beauty II shall be

notwithstanding the reference to
the good bishop" many claim that st.
