What In a Name?
BY MILDRED MARSHALL
PRISCILLA.


The charming demure name of Pris-
ella signifies ancient, defamation TO
which it has every right, since 1t comes
from the very old Latin. The Prlsc1,
according to Niebuhr, were the original
Latin tribe whose name acquired It's
sense of age from their antiquity me
most distinguished Prisei of history was
Marcus Porcius Priscus Cato and a
number Of the Prisci are to be found
among the early Roman martyrs.
Whether Priscilla was the name CIV
en- to the daughters of this family or
not is a matter of conjecture. The
first Priscilla of whom we have record
was fellow worker of st. Paul. In
her honor this feminine form gained
great prevalence in England, especially
among the Puritans,
America of course, received her
through the charming romance of Pris-
ella and John Alden and Capt. Miles
Standish, where the famous utterance,
why don't you speak for yourself.
John?' arose.
The vogue of the name as a model of
occurrences and maiden propriety was
widespread throughout New England
and has been much used in song and
story in this country, But outside Of
America and England and her early
fame in Rome, Priscilla has had no
popularity whatever. The abundance
of harsh consonants have made her
| impossible of translation into French
and Spanish and even Germany rejects
her. England through hatred of the
Puritans, cared little for her, and she
| has almost dropped out of existence
there, Only in America does she still
| flourish through the offices of Long
| fellows immortal poem.
The amethyst is Priscilla's talismanic
gem. 1t is said to control evil thoughts,
to quicken the intelligence and, accord
| ing to an old legend, has a SOLDERING
| effect upon anyone intoxicated from
wine or love. Saturday is Priscilla S
lucky day and her lucky number
The primrose, signifying simplicity. is
her flower. ..t

As a Woman Thinks
THE WOMAN OF 1T,
BY EDITH &. MoRlARTY.

II you we're asked what was of para
mount interest to the modern business
woman what would be your guess? Suf-
frage? Politics? Reforms? Labor
prublems2 II so, you must guess again.
for, according to statistics gathered by
a newly formed business womens club
in one Of the large cities in the Middle
West, the majority of the women in the
club are not primarily interested In any
of those things. Outside OF the particu-
lar business in which they are engaged
and outside OF business hours they are
interested first and foremost in
hikes,
Man? Did you ever think that the
prosperous woman lawyer In your town,
who rides TO the courthouse in her own
little car and stays UP until the Wee
small hours preparing briefs, lnnged
above all else to take long hikes in the
woods? And the pretty file clerk in
your office, whose main object in life
aside from keeping your correspondence
straight seemed to be manicuring her
nails? Did you ever picture her
hiking brisKly along country road
Would YOU ever have believed that the
woman buyer of the laces In the large
department store was not enjoying life
TO the utmost when seeing all the new
est plays on buying trips to New York.
but would rather shed her ultra-s smart
clothes in favor Of hiking toys?
1t does not seem credible and yet, II
one accepts the theory that figures do
not lie; 1t Is true, for of 27S question:

after Are you interested in hiking3"
But the question which totaled up next
highest is still more unusual OF the
273 representative business women moro
than half answered Yes to the ques-
ton Would you join class in fancy
dancing 2"
All OF which goes to show that the
modern business woman Is neither as
formidable nor as masculine as she Is
often represented and she is no differ
ent from all the rest of femininity in
that she lives up to that over-worked
