"stories

by

of
lacy,
lush
greeting
cards
about
the
origin
of
the
bow-and-arrow-armed
Kid's
big
day.
Sjome
say
St.
Valentine
was
one
of
the
eight
historically-.
obscure
saints,
mentioned
by
early
chroniclers.
Others,
more
specific,
say
tomorrow
is
named
after
a
Christian
youth
who
in
270
A.D.
was!
beheaded
at
the
Flaminian
Gate
in
Rome
by
the
impetuous
Emperor
Claudius
II.
Searchers
among
pagan
lore
claim
the
day
cointides
with
the
Feast
of
Lupercalia,
a
Roman
festival
of4
spring
which
was
held
in
honor
of
the
godsf
own
darlings
Pan
and
Juno.
The
Romans,
it
is
said,
set
aside
fretting
empire
roubles
and
grisly
toss-'em-to-the-lions
circus
amusements
that
day
to
fete
lovers.
A'nd,
early
Roman
settlers
in
Britain
carried
on
observance
of
the
day.
In
Scotland,
the
18th

SAY
some
kind
words
L
abut
February
and
Its
spfing-like
days
even
If
the
odd
one
may
be
rainful.
Few
words
of
.any
kind
are
ever
iaid
about
February.
It
Is
mainly
noted
for
being
the
shortest
month
and
most
un-derstajnders
have
largely
avoided'
trying
to
understand
and
comment
on
February.
When;
winter
has
worn
along
as
far
as
February,
the
able
writer
are
too
numb
to
feel
anything,
and
the
less
able
and
therefore
probably
richer
writers
have
deserted
and
gone
south!
where
there
Is
no
February.
March
is
a
much-discussed
eccentric-
April,
May
and
June
-have
natural
literary
advantages
in
being
handy
words;
to
pronounce,
and,
even
more
important,
to
spell.
Also
they
happen
to
come
along
at
a
timje
of
year
when
writers
feel
ood.
Summer
has
had
a
considerable
bulk
of
writing
done
bn
it,
though
this
work
has
been
unnecessary,
for
summfer
is
summer,
and
the
poets
Ican't
Improve
it.
Even
if
thjs
harvest
of
autumn
were
not
good,
Keats'
effort
wouldthave
redeemed
it
single-handed.
November
is
one
of
the
most-talked-about
months,
with,
Ja
reputation
like
the
sporting-page
notoriety
of
the
bad
rran
in
a
wrestling
match.
Decenjber
and
January
are
specials.
February
is
the
month
when
Leadership
are
the
qualities
that
WHAT
make
for
success
In
life?
That
is
a
question
in
which
young;
people
in
particular
are
interested,
and
many
books
have
been
written
on
the
subject,
One
American
writer
and
lecturer
has
specialized
in
It
and
made
quite
a
success
and
pj-obably
a
good
deal
of
money
out
of
telling
people
how
to
make
friends
and
get
on
in
'life.
But
i
he
does
not
take
into
consideration
that
we
are
not
all
bujlt
alike.
It
would
be
a
REPAIRS
monotonous,
not
to
say
a
wierd
and
confusing
world
if
we
all
looked
alike.
If
everybody
were
to
cultivate
an
engaging
smile
and
were
forever
trying
to
make
friends
with
everybody
else,
we
would
have
no
privacy
and
we
should
only
succeed
in
boring
each
other
and
becoming
darn
nuisances.
One
prominent
Canadian
Industrialist
has
prescribed
the
primary
qualities
in
man
In
the
following
order:
Character,
Personality,
Imagination,
Initiative,
Drive,
Ability,

the
sun
comes
back
out
of
the
earth.
It
is
possible
to
stay
out
of
doors
more
hours
in
February
than
in
any
other
winter
month,
even
allowing
for
a
shortage
of
a
couple
of
days
or
so.
Often
In
February
we
can
travel
around
in
places
that
are
important,
through
the
woods,
np
over
the
hills.
The
footing
is
good.
Hie
Indians
knew
this,
and
they
really
made
use
of
this
country
though
they
did
fail
to
breed
fast
enough
and
Invent
adequate
ways
to
kill
Europeaas.
February
is
the
season
when
spring
comes
for
the
first
time
Into
the
emotions.
Anyone
might
have
noticed
that
he
was
knee
deep
in
June.
Riley
must
have
realized
that
the
thing
was
obvious,
though
he
is
entitled
to
a
half
d6zen
points
for
setting
it
down.
There
is
nothing
obvious
about
February.
The
quarter
inch
of
live
grass
experimenting
on
a
south-facing
slope,
the
tree,
bud
that
may
dare
to
hlnch
out
ever
so
slightly,
the
mist
on
the
willows,
the
way
the
air
feels
these
are
spring
for
the
heart.
And
then
there
is
the
crow
himself,
that
real
harbinger
of
spring.
Even
worse
to
look
at
than
he
was
last
November,
the
horrid
old
crow
is
back.
Yet,
he's
back.
Glad
to
see
you,
uglyl
You
share
the
secret
with
February,
the
secret
that
life
begins
to
stir
faster
now
in
daz-zlingj

in
Prince
Rupert
too.

who
was
in
town
from
his
plant
yesterday.
Any
kind
of
wood
in
any
condition
even
the
branches
could
be
used,
says
Mr.
Morgan.
There
would
be
employment
for
at
least
thirty
men
in
the
plant
and
twice
that
many
in
the
woods
gelling
out
timber.
There
would
be
a
ready
market
for
anything
that
was
produced.
The
cost
of
such
a
plant
would
be
possibly
$20,000
and
Mr.
Morgan
considers
it
would
be
an
excellent
investment.
