LUCY’S VALENTINE HE lived in another town from the one In which Dan lived, but they had known each other for a long time, and every once in awhile they saw each other, Once Dan had come to visit her when she was spending the summer by the sen. There had been so much to see that was interesting there. The waves were such fun, the bathing was so nice, splashing and splattering were so jolly, and after old Mother Ocean had shown them what fun she could be they had visited the hen coop and the hens had showed how they did their marketing.

They had not cackled: “Now, be sure you give me the very best, Mr. Grocer.” No, they had just taken what they could find without a word of hen talk about it. She had been to visit Dan many times, too. Dan's mother and father were, wonderfully good. They didn’t seem to mind in the least.

He could make « delicious sandwich and he used to have a way of arriving with a box of candy in his pocket, He didn't keep it in his pocket! Then there was always a fruit dish —filled with fruit, too. But she hadn't seen Dan for some time, not for many weeks, in fact. St. Valentine's day came, and with it came quite a lot of mail. There was a pretty valentine from her little friend and neighbor, Lucy. Lucy had made it herself and there were hearts and bunches of flowers and beautiful ladies pasted upon a white card. A very handsome home made valentine, and liked it so much. Lucy had been quite clever about making It, too. There were really very few spots of mucilage showing where she had pasted on the pictures—very few spots, indeed. She had been given, too, a little bunch of tulips—red and pink tulips. Her mother made her some choco- late caramels and wrote little verse, and had two val- entines hesides all this. ut there was other—and that other was a beauty! And it came from Dan! not forgotten her and it so happy shouted with “A valentine Dan! tine from Dan!" On top of all was a heart paper lace—a very magnificent heart, with little and smaller hearts upon it, and a little pink rose, It was epen in the center part of the heart and through the ing could be seen the picture of a boy—a looked much like Dan!

This comes from that very ancient and primitive supersti. tion, found today among nearly all un. eivilized peoples, with regard to the intimate relation between a man's spiritual self and his name, A certain vital connection, also, between the man's physical self and his mame ap- pears to have entered inte it. The doctrine of “mana in names” Edward Clodd calls it; “mana” mean- ing magical or power. To primitive man his name was “an entity, am in- tegeal part of himself"-—is so today among savages, Clodd says of an Aus. tralian aborigine: “If he has had confered upon him on arriving at man- hood a name similar to that of anyone who dies it is changed by his tribe” and compares this custom to “The feel- ing in the North of England against a favorite baptismal name when death has snatched away its first bearer. “The roat of the idea Is that the name is an integral part of the spirit of the dead <hild. To give it to a liv. ing child weald be robbing the dead, or attempting to do so, and the spirit of the dead might resent it with dis- astrous results to the living child, At any rate the child given the ‘tabooed’ name might be expected to sicken and dle for that vital part of itself, its name, was already io the grave and the world of spirits.
