In the Middle Ages, our feathered friends were believed t o choose their mates on that day. In the 18th century, human love birds in Eng land who pre Jeannt Litem sented a Valentine's gift to a girl were considered to be proposing marriage. For many years, lads and lasses turned to magic to learn their romantic fate and win mates. Many of their cus toms and superstitions in volved food, herbs and spices. So, I asked candy makers, spice traders and produce men to describe a few. Gypsy Sorcery For good measure, I'll throw in some "Gypsy Sor cery," from the newly pub lished book of the same name, by the late Charles Godfrey Leland. In 16th century England young men gave their sweet hearts tomatoes, called love apples as tokens of affection. In the Hebrides islands, off Scotland's coast, young ladies gave carrots to their favorite young men on Sundays and at dances. Italian men believed that a sprig of basil stuck in their hair would win the affection of their sweethearts. A Rou manian girl thought she'd get her man if he accepted a sprig of basil from her hand. According to a Pennsyl vania Dutch superstition ,a long spiral of apple peel tossed over her shoulder would form the initial of a girl's husband-to-be. Apple Seeds Apple seeds named for beaux and stuck to a girl's forehead were supposed to be prophetic in an English super stition. The last to fall off identified the future husband. Another English supersti tion promised prophetic dreams for girls under 21 if they followed a complicated ritual on St. Magdalen's eve in an upper room of a house. Each of three girls dipped MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, a sprig of rosemary into a mixture of wine, rum, gin, vinegar, and water, pinned on the herb, and took three tiny sips of the potion before fall ing asleep in the same bed without further conversation. Green Thumb , A green tnumb was handy with two gypsy charms. One required planting an onion in a clean new pot and chanting the beloved's name and an incantation over it thrice daily. In the other, cress or let tuce seed was sown in the form of a name in a garden. If the plants grew well, the planter was supposed to win the love of the person named. Transylvania gypsies made a special herb-flavored cake on St. George's day that was said to reconcile enemies, in crease the love of friends, and work especially well as a love charm. Another gypsy cake, Ro many morriclo, had a double-whammy-money was baked into it, no doubt increasing its magic when a fair baker threw the cake over a hedge to the object of her affection.
