because he didn't tell his wife The Full
Story of His Past. Win has not accumu-

Hattie Rowland. Hattie has seen to that.
But before his marriage there were one or
two little episodes. Particularly that
affair with the girl at the cigar stand in
the hotel, the summer before he and
Hattie were engaged Nothing very bad,

NEW ENGLAND BLUE LAWS"
Stories of Early Day Bigotry Said by
Writer to Be Inventions of a
Tory Preacher.

This whole delusion of New England
blue laws was created by a Tory
preacher who was driven out of the
colonies to England, and who, in his re-
sentiment, had published a long list of
absurd enactments for the purpose of
slurring the intelligence and character
of the American patriots, says Floyd
w. Parsons.
His statement included such fabrica-
lions as the following; mo woman
shall kiss her child on the Sabbath.
No n shall run on the Sabbath, or
walk in his garden, or elsewhere ex-
cept r~everently to and from meetings.
No n shall travel, cook, make beds,
sweep, shave or cut hair on Sunday.
No persons shall play any musical in
strument on that day except the drum,
trumpet or jews harp"
And although even a hasty investi-
cation will prove to ~anyone's satisfac-
ton that our colonial acts were neither
excessively intolerant nor bigoted, the
Tory preachers libel of early American
customs continues to perpetuate the
fallacy of New England blue laws

Pressure of Wind.

The pressure of wind as one feels
1T tanning the face or in the struggle
against the gale, increases in a ratio
very much more rapidly than the in
crease in miles an hour. Mathemat-
ically, it is reckOned in the ratio of
the square of velocity. For example,
the pressure exerted by a 10-mile
breeze as compared with a 50-mile
gale, is not as 10 to 80, but as 100
to $500, which are the squares of the
yelocities. Thus, in %breasting a gale
a person receives % times as great an
impact as that of a ten-mile breeze,
which is sufficient to snap out a flag
dying from a pole. The pressure of
the ten-mile breeze at ordinary air
density, is only 0.36 pounds to the
square foot, while that of the strong
gale is nearly ten pounds. The aver
age adult, CARRIED for out-of-doors when
4 gale is blowing, presents a consid-
cradle area to its violence, and a great
sorce smites him. No wonder the nat
lral impulse is to turn the shoulder to
The blast and reduce the ares against
which the pressure can act. Wind
pressure also varies with the nature
Of the air itself; the icy gale of win
ter is heavier and exerts a greater
force than one of equal velocity in
summer.

OUTRAGEOUS goodness" said Cupid,

OUTRAGEOUS goodness" said Cupid,
~ looking at the calendar, there /
am sitting around and dawdling hours
away when it's my busiest time in the
whole year" James," he cried,
bring me that culver of arrows and
the polish. I've got to get ready for
st. Valentines day"
And while Cupid is busy getting
ready for his annual archery program,
there are plenty of others who are pre-
pairing to receive him, terrifying them
selves against his invasion or prepar-
ing a fitting welcome, rs the case
may be.
Naturally, nobody wants to take a
chance with this skillful archer without
plenty of others present to help defect
his flying arrows, so there will be
parties, parties, and then more parties.
First, a Valentine party calls for a
clever form of invitation. A verse
original if possible-could set forth
the wish of the hostess in an appropri-
ate Jingle, running something like this:
I beg to indite that a gay little sprite,
Will stop at my home on st. Valen-
tines night:
Can you meet him at eight, on this
special date,
I'm expecting you over so please don't
be late.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1924-02-07
Another i1yrrarlon might reao:

Another inv1ratIon might reao:
On Saint Valentines Day
VIII o come to my party7
I'll see that you have
A welcome right hearty.
The verse can be written on dainty
Valentine postcards, or correspondence
cards ornamented with Cupids and ar
rows or with red heart seals.
Another verse may invite the guest
In this wise
The Superintendent is pleased to
invite
Your presence at eight IN Saint yalen-
tines Night;
Hearts that are brave and loving and
true
VIII be ready and waiting to welcome
you.
The password is Love, which alone has
the power
To gain you admittance to Cupid's
bower.
Note paper decorated with Valentine
seals could be used for this form of in
vltation. For a decoration to conform
to the first line Of the verse, an i'm
mense red heart, hung against the
glass of the front door would be ap-
propriate.
Old-fashioned valentines, with lace
paper and sentimental verses, make ap,
propriate invitations. So do the old
comics.
The valentine party rarely takes the
form of a masquerade, but the hostess
usually plans caps and fayors for the
guests, to give a festive air to the
event.
Almost any crude cap of crepe paper
can be made highly decorative by add
ing long tassels or fringe at either side.
Heavy necklaces of cardboard with
a rufle of red crepe paper hung about
the neck on a ribbon are effective and
easily made.
The jazz bracelet is a novelty con
sisting of a ribbon, to be worn about
the wrist, with long red and white
crepe paper streamers.

lnaluen OF rong ago, VINO, 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
if she had set eyes first on the wrong
man, she would have welded him, so
a poet tells u.s.
Last Valentine, the day when birds of
kind
Their paramours with mutual chirpings
Afeld 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 ease in
the United States, but the idea of
courtship is no longer much connected
these bright cards.
Nowadays Shakespeare's greeting:-
Good morrow, tbs st. Valentines day,
All the morning betime,
And I a maid at your window,
To be your valentine"
reminds US of the passing of a
delightful old custom.
Christianity brought the custom of
placing each feast day under the
patronage of a saint, and so st. Val
entine, who never married himself, be-
the patron saint of lovers.-The
Companion.

the time Of day with the landlady
and Capt. Pollock; within five min

the seaman; Then Smith began to
prick up his ears. for Styler was
leading the conversation over several
byways, and was using many fine
words. He had now got Capt. Pollock
into a corner, and had treated him to
cigar, and he was just discussing
Capt. Scott and his Antarctic venture,

from glancing out of his eye-corners
at the little seafarer. And he saw Pol
beck give Styler a peculiarly meaning
look.
"Endeavor?" he said. "Aye-aye!

Accomplishment, - the countersign!

Pollock presently said good night
and went off UP the road, evidently
quite unsuspicious and highly satisfied,
and Smith and Styler, instead Of turn
ing back into the inn, walked away to-
ward the cliffs. The last glow of sun
set had died out in the west and the
over land and sea. Few scenes could
possibly have looked more deserted or
solitary: nevertheless, both men felt a
sense Of fear about talking openly.
