Origin of the Custom of sanding Valen? tines? t'nlque for thu I'm kw ard to (hiHiM I'rom. Next Tuesday ls Pt. Valentine's day. Just think how many thousands of youths all over this great big fat land of oura will send Ihelr coy, cute, cunning and comely sweethearts one of those little mysterious poems that make the heart of the feminine fair one flutter with delight. If you are fortunate enough to have a girl ts ho has not yet been In the business long enough to "give you the mitten," do not once dream of a thing as stand? ing upon a pedal of bashfulness.

Sum up your coutage, summon sll ths sentl that sccompanles the nine? teenth century flirt, tsar your hair over last month's full moon, and fte, and send her a little verse like this: "i wyths bur ny ogs love Thy vallentyne to be." Rut don't get discouraged if she should reply, "Nay, comic vail, ntynes Ar- not kynds for me." It ls an custom. Away hack yonder many centuries before tin- good old times our grandparents alwsys prating there wss a kindly, sympathetic, charitable "id gentleman named tine. He wss noted for his love of in nulty, and matu- a I 1 dei 1 he achieved for his fellow-men.

Some one has ev.

ti that there is a similarity sound between the words "galentln," a French derivative from "gallant." and "Valentine." This. however, is a rstber fur fetched explana? tion teems to be such variety of opin? ion on the subject a fellow might venture a theory of his oem. Between von and me, i think ar- ail wrong, ind ths erred explanation is tl this psrticu day was once reli ti a bashful young lover who had remained in ringi misery ns long as could comfortably do sn send his adored love letter.
