Capital's Eligible Bachelors Determined to Stay Single By JANE EADS " WASHINGTON Leap Year 19.VJ finds some of the capital's most eligible bachelors not only determined but still blithely confident they'll stay that way. Handsome young Sen. Henry Scoop Jackson D-Wash for whom many a Washington female has set her cap. told me: "If you don't get 10 proposals right off, you're safe. So far no one has so much as approached me. " On the other hand, when some one a s k e d the amiable but ad amantly niir- riage-shy House Speaker Sam i how the leap year wis going for him. he replied: .

Fact, Fiction Blend in Legend The legend of Valentine's Day as the traditional "day of lovers" is a mixture of fact and fiction according to the Valentine's Day Council. - The fact Is that a man named Valentine actually lived. A Chris tian priest living in Rome in the third century, he incurred the wrath of the Emperor Claudius j for the steadfastness of his Chris tian beliefs and was beheaded. What was left of the good saint was interred in the Church of St. Praxcdes in Rome, where a gate, 1 no known as the Porta de Popolo, was formerly named in his honor. The fiction, according to the f Council,- enters the legend in its" dedication to romance. Without any proof to guide them, the ex- rwtrfa varv wiH.lv as tn lintu the patron of lovers. The most widely accepted refer ence is that the feasting and fes tivities traditional to February 14 stemmed from the Ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia, which was held j at this time of the year. This cele- bration was dedicated to the "wolf destroyers" of ancient Rome, in the days when the only worrisome Unll'Aa hrj4 fnne nrte iriL'tno4 rt Modern Etiquette By hOBKRT v LEE -how lone should one st.iv' A.
