Show Sealing Was as an Indicator. :By their sealing-wax you shall know them" this is the latest edict of Parisian Par-isian society. For the future if .the envelope en-velope be sealed with white wax the recipient may know that within will be a proposal for her hand in marriage, while the more prosaic dinner invitation invita-tion will be heralded by a chocolate seal. Black will still mean death and violet condolence, but ruby will show that the letter is from an accepted lover and green from a hopeful one. Brown will be the livery of melancholy, yellow yel-low of jealousy, while pale green will administer mute reproof, and gray will indicate that a friend lias remembered us. Vermilion will still be the "business" "busi-ness" color, so that a red seal may act as a danger signal and warn Lady Froufrou from opening a milliner's biil at the breakfast table upon any morning morn-ing w hen my lord's liver is out of order, or stocks are going wrong. |
