Celebration Of Sprino.

Investigation of scholars has dis
closed grounds for the belief that the
event celebrated by Purim Is none 9TH
er than the coming of spring. The
character ot the festival is unmistak-
able, in the belief of searchers. Its
occurrence in the middle Of the last
month Of the winter points to it's be-
ing the beginning CT the celebration
of the conquest of the winter by the
youthful sun-god of the spring-as
Marduk (Mordecai) is regarded in va
rious Babylonian myths. Even rab-
binical eXegesis connected Esther with
the planet Venus and the Babylonian
goddess Ishtar, particularly since 1t
has been shown that the queen of Per-
STA at the date given for the plot Of
Haman was not Esther at all, but
Amestris, the daughter of q Persian
general.

THE RIGHT THING
AT
THE RIGHT TIME
Ry MARY MARSHALL DUFFEE
THE GIVEAWAY

A man by nothing is so well betrayed
as by his manners-Spenser.
IT HERE are many persons who feel
l. that a mans table manners are an
index to his general good breeding. If
he handles his knife and fork in the
way that is accepted as correct" they
will put him down as well bred until
they have very conclusive evidence
that he is not but If he shows ignOr-
ance of or indifference to this accept
eel method her it will take much to
make them believe that he has any
claim to good breeding. This may be
unfair, but it is true. Here are some
of the things that convention requires
us to remember in our manners at the
table:
The salad Is cut with the side Of the
fork and then eaten from the side Of
the fork.
Fish, soft entrees and, in fact, any
thing that does not absolutely demand
the use Of a knife, are separated into
small pieces by the use Of the fork,
which is most excellent, as the knife at
it's best is a most ungainly utensil.
That you should mash your
food with your fork and never sit with
your fork or knife appraised, like a tele-
graph pole.
That when not in use, either knife or
fork must be laid on the plate at one
side.
Never tilt your for and knife on
the sides Of your plate, that is, with
the handle on the tablecloth on either
side and the tips on the edge of the
plate.
That every time a course is removed
you should lay the knife, fork or spoon
used in eating it OH the side of the
plate.
Do not cross knife and fork on the
plate, but lay them side by side.
In eating soup, custard, fruit. or any
dish which demands a spoon, be sure
you sip the food nOiselessly from the
side of the spoon, new from the tip.
Never dip your individual fork or
spoon into a dish that is passed to yon,
but always employ the fork sor spoon
which will be found OF the tray beside
the dish, or on the dish itself.
All sorts Of small relishes, like rad
ishes, olives, sailed nuts and bon-bons,
are eaten from the fingers, but this
must be done very daintily.

ing; whence il was derived; significance;
your lucky day and lucky jewel.
VIRGINIA

THE real origin of Virginia Is Gu
l. rious and somewhat unexpected.
1t means "fourishing' and comes from
an old Latin gems who called them
selves Verginius. Their name was de-
rived in turn from vireo, meaning TO
flourish, and was connected TO the
word "ver," translated as spring. Vir-
giEio was the name Of the far-famed
Orsini family.
The more popular and prevalent be-
lief regarding the origin of Virginia
has always been that she came from
the Latin virgo, meaning "a virgin"
Indeed, the first instance of her use
i'm England was in the time of Queen
Elizabeth when Sir Walter Raleigh,
named his American colony Virginia
in honor of the Virgin Queen.
1t was under a similar belief that
Bernadin de st. Pierre called the hero
inc Of his tropical Arcadian romance,
Virginie. The widespread popularity
of this story in England, France and
Germany brought Virginia into enor.
IiOuS NOSuC liLOuSilOut lNuiotN
France still adOres her Virginie, and
her popularity in England is assured
forever out Of sentimental memory of
the famous queen.
The first American colony estab-
lished the name in this country. Like
wise the first white child born on
American soil, and named Virginia
Dare did much to spread its vogue.
The South has always abounded in
Virginias, which, unfortunately has
been contracted to unmusical "Virgies'
and "Jinnys."
The emerald is Virginia's tails
manic stone. 1t promises her wisdom,
prophetic vision, long youth, and
charm. The hawthorne bud, England's
spring flower, is Virginia's flower.

Women's Strapped Shoes in
Excellent Demand-Ori-

There is an excellent demand among
the fall trade for women's strapped
shoes, which are entering their fourth
season of popularity. Manufacturers
and jobbers report large sales Of and
continued demand for them, but 1t is ex-
pected that the advent OF colder weather
will cause them to be displaced by high
boots and shoes. The great number OF
styhs of women's footwear is said by
manufacturers to be one reason for
their present high costs. 1t is pointed
out that constant variation in style has
caused fluctuating demand and an
unstable market prevented large scale
production and necessitated the manu-
ffcture OF small case lots. - .;re'
