P0CAH0NTAS NOT REAL NAME
Literally Means "Tomboy" and Mas
Given to indian Child as
Term Of Ridicule.

The story of John Smith and Poca-
hontas is known to everyone who has
attended school in the United States,
but few know that the name Pocahon-
tas was only nickname, and meant
so unpoetical a thing as "tomboy.'
Her real name was Ma-ta-oka. When
she was about ten or eleven years old
she was engaged in turning a series OF
handspringS at the door of her fathers
hut. He was the chief of the tribe,
and was known as PoWha-tan, al
though his real name was A-bun-so-na-
cook. Ra-bun-ta, an Indian runner,
came leuping through the forest with
q message for the chief. He turned
the corner of the hut just as the little
daughter OF the chief made one Of her
most vigorous wheels. Her flying feet
struck him in the chest and knocked
him down.
Ilslians dearly love rough joke,
and great shout Of laughter went up,
although the chief was anything but
pleased, and called his daughter sharp
ly to him. This is not maiden's play"
he said. will you never cease to be
q po-ca-hun-tas?" The children caught
up the name, and it clung to the little
girl ever afterward. The English
changed the spelling a bit, but the
name has come down in history almost
as It was given away back in 1907.

Silks Caught Feminine Fancy.

Silk and fashion are closely linked
throughout the centuries. Modes
changed to conform to the new fabric
as it was brought into each country.
There were the ladies of Greece who
first discovered that the heavy orr
entail fabrics could lie unraveled and
rewoven, like their linen garments, in
to filmy, translucent materials of
w0ndrOuS beauty.
Ornamental silks We're not intro
duced into Europe until 800 A. D.,
and With them came the Influence of
ByZantium OH the styles Of the day.
1t was through the wars waged by
the Crusaders that silk weavers were
brought into Italy, and the fame Of
Venetian and Florentine fashions
spread abroad.

our tea, inquired Of Ii Hung Chang
whether he did not want to smoke.
He emitted q sound not unlike the
neighing Of horse. Immediately two
Cinnamon came running from the ad-
jacent room, one carrying narghile
and the other tobacco. Then began
the ceremony Of smoking. Ii Hung
Chang sat quietly inhaling and eX-
haling the smoke, while his attendants
with great awe lighted the narghile,
held the pipe, took it from his mouth,
and put it back. It was apparent that
Ii Hung Chang wanted to impress me
with all these ceremonies. On my part,
I made believe that I did not pay the
slightest attention to the proceedings.

Tea, sweetened and unsweetened, Is
the favorite drink and is consumed in
prodigious quantities. When you go
