Sir, – Disappointed clients of St Valentine (Weekend Review, February 8th) might consider invoking a saint of Irish origin, echoing the old German prayer: " Heilige sankt Koloman, schenk' mir auch ein Mann (aber nicht ein' Rote) ": "Holy St Koloman, send me a husband (but, please, not one with red hair)". Coloman is also patron saint of Austria, however, so he is a busy man. – Yours, etc,
