Fairey is just taking it easy, relaxing ig the latest in lounging attire, she omfort during non-class time. (Staff Fashion Fads Everybody likes beautiful sports clothes, probably because they are comfortable. After all, comfort is important to most people. When o n e mentions sporty clothes, people start thinking about suedes, tweeds, and leather in the winter season, but since spring is on the way, we can look for new fabrics. Corduroy is in style both winter and summer, and looks very good when made into shorts, ber mudas, or pedal pushers. Another style is the toreador length. These are excellent for lounging. Our model for the week is Miss Warner Fairey. She is shown wearing a pair of black corduroy toreador pants with a watching strip&i shirt. Her outfit is com fortable as well as attractive.

LUCKY DROC C GA ET BTpETE> Valentine I Are In Dist How long I've loved thee, and how well I dare not tell. -Margaret Deland St. Valentine's Day. Just how did the custom of giving Valen tines start ? One historian said that Saint Valentine was a bishop and martyr of the church. The saint was put to death at Rome for his faith during the persecution under Claudis II on February 14, 270. Therefore, the celebration on this date resulted. (Not as cheerful a connotation as is given today, though.) The custom of choosing valen tines on his day is of considerable antiquity. On the eve of Saint Valentine's Day young people used to meet, and the gentlemen drew by lot from a number of names of the opposite sex. Each gentle man got a lady for his own valen tine and became the valentine of a lady. These couples were des tined to be married. Varied Views Another historian stated that there were two martyrs who died on that day. Each were buried at different places along the Flamin ian Way in Rome. Still another said that there were three martyrs. (How many more will show up?) A fourth historian gives his account that the custom of sending "Valentines" or love-tokens, usu Patrone's Cleaners 1209 Pendleton St. Men's Clothing, Sh< and Furnishings OLES! HAVE WHAT'S THIS?

More than likely it ow-ed its origin to the conventional Medieval belief, held generally in England and France, that it was at the start of the second fort night of the second month that the birds began to mate. (How lid the birds get into the act?) Though much disagreement is present concerning the origin of sending Valentines, much agree ment in feeling is apparent upon receiving them.
