Tho Language Of Color.

There Is a language of color as well
as OF flowers. White expresses power.
wisdom. purity. candor. chastity. Red
is symbollcal Of power. passion. riches.
Kings and rulers on earth have always
worn red mantles. and SO have the
executioners of old, so that this color
also stands for cruelty and hardness.
Blue denotes fidelity. sweetness, ten
derness. loyalty. a spotless reputation.
Aerial divinities are invariably clad in
blue. The ancIents allowed yellow to
stand for glory and fortune. Now 1t
is called the color OF infidelity and
shame. Green is emblematic of hope
and Joy. 1t is the emblem Of youth.
because spring verdure Is green. Jeal-
ousy does not .ave any showing In
discussing this color Black stands for
sadness, deception. for disappointed
hopes. Internal deities are painted
black. Legend says that Apollo turned
the raven black because it had be-
trayed him. Hence the raven Is called
the bird of misfortune. Pink denotes
health, love. youth. pleasure. Violet
is the tint allowed faith. Orange
means divine inspiration and poetry.
The muses. are represented Us draped
in orange-colored draperies. Orange
was once the color of hymen. Brides
in older times wore orange-colored
vs's, called tlammeum. Even now
brides wear orange blossoms on their
wedding day.
