EVERY DAY IN SIAM.
The people in Siam have a custom which seems to us curious. They wear different coloured clothes on the different days of the week. On Sunday they wear red, on Monday yellow, on Tues? day pink, on Wednesday green, on Thursday orange, on Friday blue, on Saturday purple. So when they dress.in tflie morning they cannot say, “What clothes shall I wear?” for it is a red day, or a yellow day, and there is no doubt in the matter.
