VALENTINE’S DAY ONCE A SERIOUS
HUSDAND-HUNTING OCCASION
Valentine’s Day February 14
has become a pleasant occasion
for cashing in on cards or
candy. But for the maids of an
earlier day. it was a time for
serious husband-hunting.
According to World Book En
cyclopedia, a girl might start
i out at midnight by circling the
■ church 12 times and repeating
the rhyme. “I sow hempseed.
hempseed I sow, he that loves
me best, come after me now.”
If no one did, she could still
, hop-; to see hei Uuc .uici.tu.i.
i in her dreams. Of course, she
! first took the precaution of pin
i ning five bay leaves to her pil
jlow, one to each corner and
one in the center.
Was marriage possible in the
coming year? A peek through a
keyhole could tell her that. The
girl rose early on February 14
and set her eye to her key
hole. If she saw two objects,
well and good. But if only one
1 —better luck next year.
Still, perhaps she could iden
j tify her husband-to-be. She
| wrote the names of her boy
friends on bits of paper and
rolled each one in a piece of
; clay. Then she dropped the clay
; into water. The first scrap of
paper that floated to the top |
was believed to hold the name
of her valentine.
If she already had a favorite,
she might test him by striking I
her forehead with a folded rose !
petal If the petal cracked, ob
i viouslv he loved her.
