"who came to church and requested
to be married with the church key, as
the parochial authorities had not fur
nished them with ring" The clerk,
it is said not unnaturally, felt some
delicacy' about this. and finally found
another way out of the difficulty. He
fetched an old curtain ring from his
own house and with this extraordinary
article the loving couple were duly
united in the bonds of holy matri
mony. But, though this particular
clerk saw fit to hesitate, the church
key has been employed and that more
than once. in place of the ring during
the last hundred years. Even the
Duke of Hamilton "was married at
May Fair with bed-curtain ring"
Nor does this by any means exhaust
the list of eccentric rnakeShifts. 70
give my one other instance. it is Il
matter of history that a lady was once
transverseIy from the finger of the
bmdcgroom's glove.
Thus the plain gold hoop now sane
toned by long usage and surrounded
as it is by untold associations, is by
no means so essential to the marriage
ordinance as most people suppose.
Indeed, it is only during more recent
years that it has been accepted as the
only proper form of wedding ring;
for in former days rings used for mar
riage were frequently chased, or set
with stones, or inscribed on the inside
or outside with names, initials, or
notices
