Not a bit of iti Nor would it be right to say that cats were call- ed "labby" because of the ladies who owned them.

The reason lles for away down. the road of history and takes' us to the time of Haroun el Raschid and Richard the Lion-heart..".

From time immemorial galleys have brought the fabrics, of the Bast across the Lovant to tho, coasts of Europe. Muslin camo from Mosul, Dimity from Damlet- ta, Sarcinnote was Saracen, silk from Diarbekr, the great walle] city of the Kurds, and Damask from Damascus.

Outside old Bagdad, on the op posite side of the River Tigris from the Bagdad of to-day, stood the suburb of El Tabbylana. In that suburb, without the famous circular walls of the city of the Caliphs, was manufactured a rich and heavy black and white water- ed silk known to the markets of Europe as "Tabbi"

Queen Elizabeth is recorded as Twearing a "Tabbf" "dresu. "Mr."

Pepys wears his imitation "Tabbi” · waistcoat, which the "poor wretch" had given him. It was, too, the favourite material for the dresses of elderly ladies of standing.

Hence it was that old ladies The were called "old Tabbles." cat probably takes the same name because its fur is of a similar black and white watered design.
