 Him Here and to Receive Honor From New Britain.

Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski. pastor of the Sacred Heart church, announced this afternoon plans for the recep- rion to General Jozef Haller. com mander of the Polish armies. who will pay visit to New Britain Thurs day.
 Father Bojnowski and members of the reception committee will meet General Haller in Meriden Thursday morning, bringing him to this city in an automobile about ? o'clock in the afternoon. He will be taken to the office or Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa who will officially welcome him to the city. After a short visit with the city's chief executive. the general will go with Father Bojnowski and mem- hers of the committee to the Polish church, orphanage buildings and printing shop where he will make an inspection. Later in the afternoon the party will leave the city for Hart ford. At the state capitol, Gov. Charles Templeton will receive the generals party welcoming the Polish leader into the state. After meeting state officials, the general will be taken to the office Of Mayor Richard kinsella of Hartford and a few min- utes will be spent in the office of that executive. Having paid his respects 10 the city and state, General Halier will then call on Rt. Rev. John ]. Milan. bishop of Hartford diocese and if time permits other calls will be made.
 Mayor Kinsela and Bishop Milan will accompany the party on its re- turn to New Britain, as will ex-Con- gressman Augustine Lonergan and Brigadier General George NJ. Cole. head Of the Connecticut National Guard. provided General Cole is in a position to spare the time from his official duties.
 At 1880 o'clock q public reception will be held in the Polish hall at which Bishop Milan, General Haller and others will speak. It is expected that hundreds will he on hand 10 greet the general and head his ad- dress. The meeting will be short ened to allow the generals party to attend n banquet in his honor at the Tlks' club on Washington street al a.a0 o'clock at which high officers of the church and state will be in at. tendance.
 Invitations for the reception are being sent out today by Father Boi- ] noyski's secretary. Because ii was not definitely known that General l Haller could come here until after a letter under date Of December was received, it was not possible for the . pastor to send out invitations earlier, l which fact he greatly regrets.
 II was in response to personal i letter from Father Boinowsli that | General Iallcr consented to come to 1 New Britain. Tho letter was delivered { 10 tho Polish leader in Bridgeport \ and reply was sent from Washington. \

After the dinner the guests went
into the parlor and there the Lettuce
Game was played. This game L. pre-
pared for by cutting green tissue pa

crimping the edges to make it look
like real lettuce. At the base Of each
leaf is glued a small piece Of paper
on which has been written q quotation
from some we'll known poem. The
lettuce Is passed around In a bowl
and each person helps themselves to
a leaf. Then the guests read the
quotation aloud and try to tell from
what poems they are taken. If guessed
correctly the leaf Ia pinned to the
person a. a sign Of merit. II not
guessed II is passed on to the next

Saint Valentines
Day.

~AINT VALENTINES day like
\many other Of our best beloved
'estivals has it's origin yelled in
" obscurity. Some legends say that
old Valentine was a kindly soul. who
used to cheer the old and the feeble
by paying them visits and that when
be himself became too old to travel
about, he sent love messages OF com-
fort and cheer. When he died his
friends decided to carry on his good
work and SO every veal on his birth
day love messages are Sent from one
friend to another. Another legend
says that on the day we celebrate as
Saint Valentines the birds choose
their mates and that It Is the day for
billing and cooling and love-making.
The first valentine was introduced
into America by a young lady in
Massachusetts, in 1850. Her business
attained enormous proportions and
she soon had to employ a STAFF Of
helpers to aid in their making. Be-
fore that time all our valentines were
imported. In Denmark the Snow
drop is the symbol OF love, and 1t is
sent In bouquets by the Danish swain
to his lady love.
