the spelling "f her surname will be
changed to LOpOkoya. There is more
than one reason for this. The chief one
is that the OriGiHa, name presents GER
tain difficulties ot pronunciation to the
average American not acquainted with
Russian The spelling leaves the mean
ing OF the name Daughter of LOpOk."
