It Is said that the ancient Romans celebraied
the Super-who, in this month, by putting the
names of young women in a box and draw-
ing them out as chance directed; and it Is
not impmbable that the early Chmtltm
church adopted the custom, substituting the
namesof some mime for rho-cor Women,

stand how these arstmfis, by'a gradual
change, became in the age of chivalry a
ccmmony of 1mm pledging. As early as
the fifteenth century it became customary
“for young people, on this day,‘to‘exchangc
presents in token of regard and aflection;
and these friendly mnrteéies increased in
significance, until in the last century a num-
ber of young peoPIc would meet. and the
name of each being placed in :1 box the
members of each sex would draw out the
names of those opposite, the name dram:
