Valentine's Day
Origin Is Given
Valentine’s Day has become a
pleasant occasion for cashing in;
on cards or candy. But for the!
maids of an earlier day, it was a
ttirnie for serious husband • hunt
ing.
According to World Book En
cyclopedia, a girl might start out
at midnight by circling the chur-j
ch 12 times and repeating the
rhyme, “I sow hempseed, hemp-,
seed 1 sow, he that loves me best,
come after me now.” If no one
dlid, she could still hope to see her
true valentine in her dreams. Of,
course, she first took the precau
tion of pinning five bay leaves
to her pillow, one to each corner
and one in the center.
Was marriage possible in the
coming year?? A peek through'
a keyhole could tell her that. The
girl rose early on February 14
and set her eye to her keyhole.
If she saw two objects, well and
good. But if only one — better
luck next year.
Still, perhaps she could identi
fy her husband-to-be. She wrote
the names of her boy friends on
bits of paper and rolled each one
in a piece of Clay. Then she drop
ped the clay into water. The first
scrap of paper that floated to
the 'top was believed to hold the
name of her valentine.
If she already had a favorite,
she might test him by striking
her forehead with a folded rose
petal. If the petal cracked, ob
viously he loved her.
