THE LAW OF THE FINGER PING

IL gentleman wants wife ne wears n
mug ON The first finger of The LEFT hand: If he
Is engaged, lac wears it on the second finger:
II married, ON the third; and on the fourth if
he never intends TO get married. When a
lady j. not engaged, she wears a hoop or dia-
mond ON her first finger, ii engaged. ON the
second; II married ON the third: and ON the
fourth II she intends To be maid. When
gentleman presents fam, a flower. or trinkets
TO a lady with the left hand this. on his part !.
Is an overture of regard; should she receive il
with her leit hand, IL is considered as am ac-
ceptance OF his esteem; but if with the right
hand, II IS refusal of the offer. Thus. by a
lew simple tokens. explained by rule. the pas
sion OF love is expressed.
