Show T" Language tn Sealing Wax. The language in sealing wax is much practiced in Faris, now that sealing letters is in fashion again. An epistle conveying a proposal of marriage must be sealed with white wax, while accepted lovers may use ruby color. Jealousy is expressed by yellow wax, blue implies constancy, and brown melancholy; green suggests hope, and a palor shade of green conveys con-veys reproof. A letter of condolonce should bear a violet seal in reply to the black wax intimating death, and the ordinary scarlet hue is still used for business. Invitations to dinner display chocolate seals, gushing young ladies fasten their confidences with pink, and gray is the general tint fo letters to ordinary acquaintances. |
