Was the italian seaport Of LEG
HORN named for C breed of chick
ems, or a kind of straw hat, or vice
versa? How is it that the English
words "leg" and horn form an
Italian place name? Are the chick
ems 50 called becaused they have
horny legs?
TO answer many such perplexing
questions from my readers took
Areary hours of poking through the
1nusty tones Of the public library

at last I have the facts about the

name was Legorno, pronounced

since the British are known to drop
their aitches, Leghorn came to be
pronounced "leg-orn," or, most
often, "Leg-ern." The latter is Gus

raisers.

is characteristic of many Britons
to place an "h' before words or

tendency is disappearing in mod
