UlAiti 14.
ON 8T. VALENTINE'S DAY.
The hint* begin their wooing now. and
oh, their songs arc Bay;
You'd think, to hear their merry notee,
'twos In the mldet o' May.
They nil the world with melody, and In
the awaylnK pine
They call to one another, "Will you be
my valentine?"
•Tie t*ne that thou and L eweetheart,
should be a-woolng, too,
And In our hearts the pledge of love
and happiness renew.
The saint that rave this day his name
loved beauty such as thine,
And I would deem the winter spring,
with thee my valentine.
—Joseph O'Brien In Munsey's.
WEARING FLOWERS.
Not for several years has It been so
much the thing to wear nowers on the
street.
For a time the pretty custom was
considered bad taste, due probably to
maidens making walking conservato
ries of themselves.
Now the up-to-date tailor-made girl
wears pinned to her coat a single flow,
er, or at most two, unless violets or
lilies of the valley are the choice.
The smartest flower Is a single gar
denia, but Its waxy whiteness Is not
only dreadfully high-priced, but It
blackens at the first blast of air.
A single American Beauty rose or
one chrysanthemum Is the nest choice,
tho nothing quite takes the place of
violets for street wear. And the smart
touch Just here from Paris Is to wear
a small arttflclal flower with two or
three leaves In the buttonhole of your
severe coat suit.

PUBLIC SERVICE
T,o properly perform its duty to
the people a public service corpora
tion must take into consideration two
things.
Its employes must be paid a rea
sonable wage consistent with the
profits derived, permitting them to
share in the prosperity produced by
their loyal co-operation in the com
pany’s interest. /
, The maximum of service must
be supplied at a minimum of cost to
the consumer, the welfare of the prop
erty and service demanding always
a sufficient percentage of the gross
earnings to guard against deprecia
tion and consequent inferiority in the
service rendered.
This is the constant endeavor of
at least two public service corpora
tions of Atlanta.

The Birth of St. Valentine’s Day
By Muriel thArndike.
Ht. Valentine's Day was celebrated before there were any'saints on
the church calendar. Long before the Christian era the ancient Ropian*
had a February festival' called the Lupercalla. It was held In honor of
the coming spring and was the season of courtship. Girls would write
their names on tablets and put thsm into a casket. Alarrrlageable young
met! drew out these tablets. Eacji was supposed to wed the girl whose
name he had drawn. It was a sort of “Love's Lottery" and was only one
of many quaint customs connected with the great spring feast.
When Cbrletlanlty wiped out most heathen ceremonlee, the Lupercalla
wa* too popular to be wholly abandoned, so 8t. Valentine, whose fesst
day fell on February 14. became connected with the festival. The old
customs to a certain extent were kept up. but under the auspice* of the
anlnt. Inatead of a tottery young people took to sending each other love
letter*, proposal* and presents on that day. To keep up the lottery Idea,
probably, these letter* nnd gift* were often unsigned, and the recipient
was left to gueaa the giver'* name.
Perhaps the memory of Ht. Valentine himself had something to do
with the sending these letter*. For, It la said, the good old aalnt toward
the end of hla lifetime grew too feeble to vlalt his parishioner*, and *o
used to send them auch affectionate, fatherly letten that any epistle ex
pressing devotion grew to be called a "Valentine."
