NAMES OF VARIOUS CLOTHS
Chiefly Derived From Their Place Of
Manufacture, Though Not In
All Cases.

Muslin Is named from Mosul, city
on the banks of the Tigris; Cambria
from Cambria, town of France.
Gauze is probably derived from GAIA
in Syria, although some authorities
hold to the Hindu "gazi," meaning thin
cloth.
Baize, which is commonly thought
of as being Of green hue. was named
from its original color, a reddish
brown. The word is really the plural
Of bay" and the color is that Of the
horse which is known as bay" A
form Of the word is common in many
tongues.
Damask. quite obviously, is derived
from Damascus.
Silk and serge are both derived
from the Latin Sores. meaning the
Chinese. These fabrics were first i'm
ported from that portion of Asia which
is now southern China.
Velvet is from the Italian velluto
meaning woolly, this from the Latin
vellus, fleece. Vellum is derivative
Of the same root-a pelt or hide.
Bandanna is from the Indian word
meaning TO bind or tie," and has ref
ernce to the manner Of tying knots in
the fabric to prevent the dye from
reaching every part thereof. In this
way spots are left white and a rude
pattern remains in the cloth.
Alpaca comes from the animal oil
the same name in Peru. 1t is Of the
llama species and its wool is used te
manufacture the fabric employed il
the making Of summer garments.
Calico got its name from Calicut, 6
town in India, once celebrated for its
cotton cloth.
