ORIGIN Of the TricoIoa

The French tricolor, which has been
traced by ingenious antiquaries to so
many different sources, is really de-
rived from the dress of the "TrInitari-
ans" a religious order founded special
ly for the purpose of redeeming from
slavery those Christians who had been
captured by MoOrs, Turks or other lin
fidels." They held large endowments
in Rome and formerly owned part Of
the present gardens Of New College,
at Oxford. 1t was the close associa-
ton of these Trinitarians with "liber-
ty'' that led Lafayette at the revolu-
ton to adopt their habit of red, white
and blue for the new flag Of France.
