Calico, Silk, Cashmere
Names From Other Lands

Many of our names for cloth come
to us from the Orient, observes a
writer in the Kansas City Star. Cali.
CO is from calicut, India, the city
from which It was first imported.
Doubtless at tirst the term used was
N Calicut CLOTH but phrases often
shrink in usage, and calico was an
easy evolution Madras, also In In
dia, gave US the cloth which bears
its name. This was first made from
silk and cotton, but the name - APP

also, d fabric which Is much used
for mems shirts. DamaSk Is from
Damascus. noted long ago for its
fine steel blades and for its silks.
Damask is characterized bycwoven
designs which represent flowers or
conventional figures. It was origi-
nally made Of silk, but the same
name was later applied to the same
weave In silk, cotton, rayOn or wool
used for hangings and upholsteFies.
and to linen woven for table napery
and towels. - q
The word silk we should expect to
be associated with China, and It IL
but the name has come to US In q
roundabout way. The Anglo-Saxon

stuff, from Sores, the Greek name
for the Chinese. Cashmere comes
from the name Of q city in Tibet.

name from linsel, linen, and wolsye,
wool. Many wooden fabrics bear
English names, such as melton,

why South opened the bidding With
one club we do not pretend to know
He held perfectly sound one-no-
trump bid ca high card value OF IL,
with seven honors and balanced distri-
butioD. Had South made the proper
opening bid of one no-trump, the pair
would have quickly gotten to game in
that denomination with no adverse
bidding.
After the opening club bid MIR
Bachner's informatory double was
largely bluff, as he held just a bare
average hand North promptly raised
to two clubs to show support in that
suit. and East boldly. bid two spades.
At this point South was in a quand-
airy. He could not rebid his three-card
suit. and while he might have bid two
no-trump, he feared that his partner
was very weak. The bidding reverted
to North who went to three clubs, and
now South made belated three-no-
trump bid, which Mr. Bachner quickly
doubled. North decided that discretion
was the better part of valor, and res
cued to four clubs. After all, how
could he know that his partner, who
ha0 opened with a mere one-club and
passed on the second round of bidding,
had all the time been concealing an
opening bid Of no-trump strength?
North and South made their four
clubs, but Mr. Bachner had bluffed
them out of game and rubber.

Tnrr eyes are puest when
 sun has kissed your face with hope; Your smile g sweetest when
 The apple blossoms garlanded round your throat Your hair of golden brown
 Caressed by winds from that delightful land Where love is ever true
 That sent today y>the violetS in your hand. Would you remember
 Who dwet down by yon orchards kindly way Where wild flowers mark the path,
 And red clover beds waving all the day? Your face was kindest when
 Crowned by blue ribbons gaily flying; Your posture lovelest
 When all the boughs gently signing. Where will you be when the MiStetoe Is hanging on the garden wall? Will purity and grace
 Be charming you dear maiden tall? I shall look for you, dear,
 Not when Nature sleeps in Silences keeping; Nor when the birds have flown,
 And all the clouds and trees weeping; But when the blushing dawn
 Is flashing diademS along way, And budding spring in garments soft
 Is leading us in beauteous May. So buds your womanhood
 In lasting beauty crowned by fair! May heaven keep you pure
 Like all the blossoms in your lovely hair. will fire from star dust touch years to come and strengthen Truths love?- So sing your song, proud child Dream oni The stars will light you from above.

Folks, it's almost fall With skies deeply blue, We're all popped up, Hope starts anew A chill in the air Is all one needs, We're all set to conquer By doing good deeds. The crowd gets together, There's lot of talking About being active With lots of walking. The open road intrigues us, We sniff the autumn aroma, Whereas we've been sunk for the summer We emerge from coma. So with much g,lsto We plan program wide, Buy some stout walking shoes And get into our stride.
