hear. Pretty soon, however, when
they saw how glad he was to help
them look their best and never tried
to be admired himself, they became
more friendly. Four-leaf was just
bubbling over with jolly tales and
soon had them waving over in laugh

Then the honey bees who liked

When Four-leaf saw how much they

his work in the patch was over and

he handles his knife and fork In the
way that Is accepted as Correct" they
VIII put him down as well bred until
they have very conclusive evidence
that he Is not; but il he shows lgnor-
ance OF or Indifference to this accept
ed method then it will take much to
make them believe that he has any
claim TO good breeding. This may be
unfair, but 1t 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 knife, are separated into
small pieces by the use of the fork,
which is most excellent, as the knife at
Its best is most ungainly utensil.
That you should never mash your
food with your fork and never sit with
your fork or knife upralsed, like q 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.i and knife on
the sides of your plate, that Is, with
the handle on the tablecl0th on either
side and the tips on the edge of the
plate.
That every time course is removed
you should lay the knife, fork or spoon
used in eating 1t on 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, never from the tip.
Never dip your individual fork or
spoon into dish that is passed to you,
but always employ the fork or spoon
which will be found on the tray beside
The dish, or on the dish itself.
All sorts Of small relishes, like rad
shes, olives, salted nuts and bon-bons.
are eaten from the fingers, but this
must be done very daintily.

"What'S in a Name?"
By MILDRED MARSHALL
Facts about your name; It's history; mean
ing; whence IL was derived; significance,
your lucky day and lucky Jewel
VIRGINIA

THE real origin Of Virginia Is GU
1 rious and somewhat unexpected.
1t means "fourishing' and comes from
an old Latin gems who called them
selves Verglnius. Their name was de-
rived In turn from vireo, meaning to
flourish, and was connected to the
word "ver," translated as spring. Vir-
ginio was the name of the far-famed
Orsini fqmily.
The n ire 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
in 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 Arcadlan romance
Virginie. The widespread popularity
Of this story In England, France and
Germany brought Virginia into enor-
nous vogue throughout Europe.
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
Virginlas, which, unfortunately has
been contracted to unmuslcal "virgies"
and "Jlnnys."
The emerald is Virglnia's tails
manic stone. 1t promises her wisdom,
prophetic vision, long youth, and
charm. The hawthorne bud, England's
spring flower, is VirginIas flower.
Wednesday is her lucky day and 3
her lucky number.

HOW DO YOU SAY IT?

Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
lawful, AWFULLY."

LEW words that 60 to make up the
L long list of abused terms in com
mon usage Of English are employed
so frequently, and so enormously. as
the two cited. Everything is awful
as In the following example: DO you
like that cakeY" one asks of the school
boy. "Yes," he replies, "It's awful
good.' And not alone school boys
and school girls, but grown men
and women, fall into this error. or
course the word to be substituted for
awful or lawfully" is "very."
The adjective awful" and the ad.
verb "awfully," are derived from the
word awe" which means "fear or
dread, mingled with reverence and ven.
eration." The words lawful" and "aw-
fully" have their proper place in the
language, but 1t is not that of a SUBJ
stitute for 'very."
Very is what Is known as an inten-
sive, a word used to give emphasis.

MORE AUTO
LICENSES OUT
FOR AUDRA|N

On April first 1921 there had been
registered 2098 Audrain county auto
mobiles at the Secretary of States
office in jefferson City. On April first
1920 the registration there from this
county was 1922 cars. 1t is believed
that in Audrain and elsewhere
throughout the state many motor cars
have failed to be registered and within
a short time the officers ofthelaw will
make a drive to apprehend all those
who have failed to comply with the
law.
During the 1919 registration period
there were 2310 cars registered
fromthis county and during 1920, 1861
cars. The total fees collected from
the county this year for this purpose
has been $14,944 according to figures
from Jefferson City.
There have been issued in Missouri
already more than 275,000 licenses,
which is nearly $4,000 more than had
been collected on April 1, 1920. Only
the total figures for the State are
available from the daily reports. The
month-end statement, which includes
all licenses issued up to and including
March 81, shows that in many counties
almost as many licenses already have
been issued this year as were issued in
all of 1920.

"The highways are not only feed
ers to the railroads and afford relief
from their local burdens, they are act

state commerce. They are the small
er arteries of the larger portion of
our commerce. and the motor a has
