Miss Colman-Smith is West Indian [tarot cards]
From Wikipedia: Pamela Colman Smith (1878—1951) was an artist, illustrator, and writer. She is best known for designing the Rider-Waite-Smith deck of tarot cards for Arthur Edward Waite. Smith was born in England, the daughter of an American merchant from Brooklyn, Charles Edward Smith and his Jamaican wife Corinne Colman. Due to her father’s job with the West India Improvement Company, the family often moved, spending time in London, Kingston, Jamaica and Brooklyn, New York.
Pynchon's interest in the tarot is evident in Gravity's Rainbow. Two tarot cards are referred to here -- The Hanged Man card can be seen at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rider-Waite. The Knight of Swords can be seen at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minor_arcana#Swords
