Old Samuel Pepys, famous chron icler of domestic life In England in the reign of Charles II, makes entry In his diary numerous times of various Valentine customs. Thus on Valen tine's day nearly 250 years ago we find him making this record: "This morn ing came up to my wife's bedside (I being up dressed myself) little Will Mercer to be her Valentine, . and brought her name written upom-blue paper In gold letters done by hihiself very pretty; and we both were well pleased with It. But I am also this year my wife's Valentine, and it will cost me five pounds : but I must have laid that out If we had not beeD Val entines." Prudent- man. A bit later Pepys added: "I find that Mrs. Pierce's little girl Is my Vulent'lne, she having drawn me; which I was not sorry for, It easing me of something more than I must have given to others. But here I do first oliserve the fashion of drawing mottoes us well us names, so that Pierce, who drew my wife, did draw also a motto, and this girl drew another for me. Wlmt mine was I for get ; hut my wife's was 'most, oour reous arid most fair' which, ns it may be used, on an imairram upon each name, might he very pretty." What would not the collector of old valentines give for Master Will Mer cer's valentine written ,to Mistress Pepys "upon blue paper in gnld let ter"' That would lie a treasure,- in deed, for any collector.

Costly Valentines When quaint old Pepys wrote his diary St. Valentine was still "fashion able," and many genuine love affairs grew out of the jesting beginning, while the "favors" frequently were a splendid extravagance that would be frowned upon by ths tastes and man ners of our day. TiJe duke of York, we are told -by the dear old gossip, gave a ring worth $4,000 to his for tunate vnlentine. The same woman fell the following year to the lot of T:rd ilandeville, whose token was a diamond valued at $1,500. How and where did St. Valentine's day originate? It Is said to have had Its beginning In the farmyard, where the ganders choose their mates on the fourteenth day of February, a preliminary of their couitshlp being a remarkable fancy dance. Nor, Indeed, doe this theory of Its origin reflect upon lovers a painful ridicule, Inasmuch as ganders, (nice mated, make excellent and faithful iiushands. So domestically are they Inclined that they even sit on the eggs when the female bird Is off the nest. In ancient Rome a sort of love lot tery was annually held at the time of the festival called the Siipercalla, be cause it was believed that at thai sea son of the year birds chose their mates. It was a festival celebrated In February, In honor of Pan and Juno-, and tablets bearing yonng wom en's names were drawn ont of a box by the young men. Each youth avail ing himself of this privilege -was ex pected to be until the next SuperealJa the faithful attendant of her whose nAme he had drawn. It was a pretty custom, and worth preserving. So Christianity, when It "took oer" the pagan festivals and adapted them to Its own uses, kept the anniversary of the Superealia as St, Valentine's day, renaming it in honor of u holy martyr, who had been done to death at Home In the Third century, A. 1'. There was no special reason why St. Valentine should he chosen in pref erence to any oilier saint. It does ur.'t appear that he took uny "articular Interest hi lovers ana M?e-inal:ing. Ihlt, having lirst been clubbed to death and then beheaded, lie deserved to be Immortalized hi some fashion, and is this way the object was attained. The early lathers of the church e modified the Superealia as to c;ive to the celebration a religious charader, and at first the names of saints were drawn as valentine, instead of those i.f living young women. lCven at The present day in sitrne Catholic churches the custom is observed of select lrg on St. Valentine's day for the ensuing yeur a patron saint who is called a valentine. Put youths and maidens, finding little amusement In drawing out the names of dead and gone holy men, soon reverted to the practice of drawing each other. Sing a song of hearts Pmk and red and blue, Speeding here and there To friends good and true! When each one arrives Some one will exclaim, "What a pretty thing! But where, O, where's the nam?" The name, of course, is hid Underneath the fold Where the dainty shade Meets the shining gold! What's the meaning of it Hearts and gilt so fine? Don't you know, my dear, It's a VALENTINE?. . Deny M.
