INDUCED in such fanciful caprices as this
spring has developed. The most fantastic
designs, the most hazardous combinations
of colors, which put to test the longest ex.
perience and most perfect taste, come to
bewilder fashions votaries. These gay
foulards remind one of the Dolly-Varden
dresses worn for short time years ago, but
this peculiar combination of colors is not
to be found only in dresses, but in
cloaks, mantillas and in the trimmings of
hats as we'll This material is stylish and
if gracefully worn is elegant, but it is not
embellishing, for it rather deadens the
complexion. Besides, great caution is
necessary in the choice of this goods, for
on account of the gay colors they are
mostly intended for carriages, and not for
the street. That which may be seen in
great profusion are the mantillas. The
mantilla is convenient and graceful
article of wear, for it can be used
to hide badly-fitting dress or to
add an elegance to the wearer.
There are mantillas of grenadine
embroidered with jet placed on the border
Of veritable tippit of satin forming the
collar and descending along the front
Then there is what is called the uisite.
made of satin, very short, fitted in to the
waist, with large mandarin sleeves, and
the satin OF which disappears under a
rich passamenterie of gold or electric
pearls and waves of lace. Every kind of
material is employed for this garment
gaze pepinee, velvet, silk, grenadines,
brooches, Spanish lace, etc. Since in most
parts OF California it is seldom very warm,
these visites and mantilias can be worn
there nearly all the year round, whereas
they are here spring and summer gar
ment only. VAL.

AT sunset this evening begins tho Jewish
feast of Purim. According to the almanac
of the Israelites to-day is the thirteenth OF
the twelfth month, named Adar. In their
synagogues and temples the book of Esther
is read and expounded.
This festival commentaries the rescue Of
the Israelites--in the Persian empire-by
Esther and Mordecai, from the destruction
schemed against them by the wicked Hannah,
as narrated in the book of Esther 1t is cele-
brated annually as a day of feasting re-
ioicing and returning thanks to God, who has
always displayed His guardianship over His
chosen people whenever man rose up against
them. The day is also distinguished by send
ing presents and gifts to friends and the
poor.
The name Purim is derived from the Per
sian Pur or Par, signifying lot
Hannah, to ascertain which day would be
the most propitious for the execution of his
plans threw lots; the choice fell on the thir-
teenth day of the twelfth month"; and thus
fancying himself beyond all disappointment
in his project, as he thought he had ascer-
tanned to a surety the will Of fate, according
70 the superstitous notions of the heathens.
Tie history of Purim--particularly the
fate of Hannah, indeed teaches how watch
ful is the experimenting providence Of God
over the affairs Of man, and how inefficient
are all the cunningly devised plans of the
upstart and the wicked TO injure those who
are too weak to protect themselves.
Not much did Hannah imagine that from
the Queens table he would be led to the
gibbet where he expiated with his life for the
evil designed against the innocent, and upon
the very scaifold which he had prepared for
