PRISCILLA.

THE charming demure name OF
Priscilla signifies ancient" a
den0tati0n to which II has every
right, since II comes from the very old
Latin. The Prisci, according to Me
buhr, were the original Latin tribe
whose name acquired Its sense of age
from their antiquity The most dis
tinguished Prisci OF history was Mar
Gus Porcius Priscus Cation and a
number of the Prisci are to be found
among the early Roman martyrs.
whether Priscilla was the name
given TO the daughters Of this family
or not is matter Of conjecture. The
first Priscilla of whom we have rec
ord was a fellow-worker of st. Paul.
In her honor this feminine form
gained great prevalence In England,
especially among the purltans.
America, OF course, received her
through the charming romance OF Pris-
ella and John Alden and Capt, Miles
standish, where the famous utter

OCEAN ETIQUETTE.

Good breeding is the result Of much GOOD
pense.-Chesterneld.
TT Is so many months since Amerl-
cans have taken trips for pleasure
that we must brush up little ON
the question of the etiquette of ocean
travel. War workers and the men In
the expeditionary forces were trans
ported under such very different cir
cumstances from those of pleasure
travel that as far as the small points
of manners go it was an entirely
different proposition.
Under ordinary circumstances the
woman ocean voyager has good many
letters to write during the first few
hours of her voyage because 1t Is
considered only courteous for her to
send off little notes Of thanks TO those
who have sent flowers, books or other
presents, by the mail that Is taken
off with the ships pilot. However,
these letters need not be long, as
surely no one would expect you to
miss all the pleasure Of being on deck
during the first Of your voyage In
order that you might dwell at great
length on your appreciation of their
generosity.
The question Is sometimes asked
whether II Is in good form to use the
stationery such as is provided by the
ocean lines, or whether 1t is not better
to use ones own stationery. Good
form seems to sanction the use of the
ships stationery, and 1t is surely more
interesting to those who received let
tiers to have them on this paper.
Suppose you know no one on ship
board. Must you therefore keep to
yourself because there is no way for
you to have introductiOns to the
other passengers? Certainly not. 1t
is quite good form for you to begin
with a courteous good morning ad-

The Governor stopped the upward
'Irend of the budget. For the first time
IN nearly score OF years State appro-
priAtions have gone down instead or up.
Demanding that all waste and eXtraya-
gance be eliminated. the Governor cut
$40, 100000 out Of the departmental es-
Inmates for the 1922 State expenses and
then reduced the budget itself by s.000.-
900 from last year.
Two thousand needless jobs have been
cut out. All the tax collecting bureaus
which were sea ahered around among sew
eral departments have been gathered
under one head. the reorganized State
Tax Department. Overlapping bureaus
have been consolidated. a system estab-
lished Of using office staffs which were
idle in one bureau a part OF the year in
another Office instead Of carrying two
forces. each or which was idle half the
time.
A big. sa wing was effected also in the

Commissions and OF the Farms and Mar
