1t is understood, says an authority on
the subject, that q gentleman who de.
sires to marry wears a plain or chased
gold ring upon the first finger Of the
left hand. When he becomes engaged
the ring passes to the second finger
After marriage 1T passes to the third
finger. IF, however, the gentleman de
sires hi lady friends to clearly under
stand that he is not in the market
and does not wish to marry at all, he
wears hesignet upon the little finger.
This will inform ali the ladies that he
is beyond reach. With the ladies a
plain or chased gold ring on the little
finger OF the left hand indicates mot
engaged" or ready for an offer
When engaged the ring passes to the
third finger on the right hand. When
married the third finger on the left
hand receives the ring. When a young
lady desires to defy all suitors she
places rings-one on the first and one
ON the fourth finger.
