GOOD Morrow To You,
My Valentine!"

MANY curious old charms are said
ava to be potent on st. Valentines
eve-all, like most charms ever invent
ed, connected with the procuring of
husbands. Even before surplus woman
dawned on the scene. this seems to
have been a subject of much anxiety.
Five bay leaves, pinned respectively
to the four corners and the center of
the pillow, are said to bring certain
dreams Of the future partner, II the
sleeper has gone to bed without eating
or speaking.
Another infallible spell was to write
pieces of paper, enclose them in clay
balls and throw them into water. The
one which came to the surface first
contained the name Of the fated
spouse.
1t is a sign of great good luck II the
swain you favor should be the first
man seen on February IA. The mod
ern girl who does not pin her faith
entirely to signs and omens. can al
ways practice the ruse of shrewd
maiden of long ago. who. knowing
where her heart had gone, "lay a-bed
and shut my eyes all the morning till
he came, for I would not have seen
another man before him for all the
world"
She was far-seeing and lucky. But
II she had set eyes first on the wrong
man, she would have welded him, so
a poet tells US =
kind
Their paramours with mutual chirpings
Aheld went. amid the morning dew.
To milk my kline (for SO should house
wives do).
Thee first I spied, and the first swain
we see.
In spite of fortune. shall our true love
be-"
Some of us wish that a quaint old
custom practiced in the time of Pepys
was Still prevalent-the rule that a
man must give a present to the first
woman he saw on February IA. Pepys,
gay old rascal that he was, much be-
walled himself that his own tribute
had to be offered to his wife-a pro-
ceeding he considered very dull, when
there were plenty of pretty young
girls at the light-hearted court of
Charles II.
Old people still remember the time
when valentines were as popular as
Christmas cards. and the postman
groaned under his load on the morning
Of the 18th. This Is still the case in
the United States, but the idea of
courtship is no longer much connected
with these bright cards.
Nowadays Shakespeare's greeting =
GOOD morrow. 'tis st. Valentines day
All the morning betime.
And I a maid at your window.
To be your valentine"
simply reminds us Of the passing of a
delightful old custom.
Christianity brought the custom Of
placing each feast day under the
patronage of saint. and so st. Val.
entine, who never married himself, be
came the patron saint Of lovers.-The
Lady's Companion.

vention restricting international traf.

replace the convention of st. German,
has been adopted by the League of
Nations subcommittee on aims. 1he

its work yesterday.
The text as adopted is baseu upon
the plan drawn up Sy Professor Du-
priez of Louvain University. Major
Kills of England, Admiral Marquis

France.
Its authors tept in mind tat the
text of the plan should be such as
could be accepted by the United States,
regardless of what the ultimate rcla-
tons of America and the league
might prove to be.
In effect, it provides that traffic
in arms should be subjected to n sys.
TEN of governmental licenses, leaving
the respective governments free 10
grant or refuse them.
In order to insure international con
troll. the l.lan calls for special or.
ganism. either bureau. commission

I'll of the league. whose mission would
be TO look after application Of tn,
convention. keep a registry of licenses
issued and make an annual report &c

the policyholder who has claim can

until such time as by due process OF

these reasons real estate is not look
