       Did it ever occur to any of you to wonder who Saint Valentine was, and why we should commemorate his day by sending cards or letters containing all sorts of playfulness, like true-lovers' knots, hearts pierced with arrows, etc.?
       It is easy enough to tell you about the saint, but what he had to do with the popular observances of the day dedicated to him is a matter for conjecture.
       Saint Valentine, they say, was a grave and earnest Christian bishop, who was put to death in Rome on the fourteenth day of February, about the year 270 A.D., for his too zealous efforts in converting the heathen. When he was canonized, the day of the month on which he died was dedicated to him.
       The customs of Saint Valentine's Day are, no doubt, derived from those practiced at some of the Pagan festivals, for they are of very ancient origin. The principal feature of the ceremonies was always the choice of a valentine for the ensuing year. 'The cavalier was expected to wait upon his lady, execute all of her commands, and act as her escort at all social gatherings.
       Of course you have all had some experience in sending and receiving valentines, and perhaps consider that the only way of celebrating the day; but don't you think it would be a good idea to invite some friends and their dolls to your house and have a Valentine-Party?
