[Sca-cooks] colours of belts etc

[Susan Fox-Davis]

No reserved colors in Caid either.  You've got to be kidding.
Nothing will get in the way of these peacocks' maximizing their

Me, I tend to dress plainly and hide in the kitchen, much to
the despair of my incipient Laurel-in-Law.

Most Royal Peers I know give other styles of favors to their
Associates than belts.  Countess Albra [OL, OP] has given
her Associates purple belts but that's only because that happens
to be her livry color.

People will remember knights (red), laurels (green), and pelicans (yellow), but never remember the royal peers (purple; it's a reserved dye, and we still wiped out the Murex mollusk).  And in the East, at least, we are peers...  Was wondering who'd ask.
