WEDDING RINGS.

Their Use During All tho Ages in Old
World Countries.
Wedding rings were used both by the
Greeks and Romans, but then only at
the ceremony of betrothal and not
that of marriage. The Anglo-Saxon
bridegroom at the betrothal gave a
wed, or pledge, and a ring was placed
on the maiden's right hand, where it
remained until marriage, and was
then transferred to the left. During
the reigns of George l. and George ii.
the wedding ring was often worn on
the thumb. The placing of the ring
cient custom of blessing the ring by
sprinkling holy water in the form of a
cross, and this is still done in the Ro-
man church.
One of the earliest forms of rings
was the gemel, or double ring, and
this was used as a pledge before mar
riage. They were generally made in
three parts, and broken in the presence
of witness, who retained the third
part In Germany, Sweden, Norway
and DenmN;k, it was a common Gus
tom for the engaged couple each to
give to the other plain gold ring,
much resembling wedding ring. In
the last century wedding rings were
frequently inscribed with posies. DR..
John Thomas, who was bishop of Lin
coin in 1853, married four times. The
motto or posy on the wedding ring at
his fourth marriage was:
If survive
I'll make them five.
King Henry VIII gave Ammo OF
Cleves ring with the posy:
God send me well to keep
It was general custom in the mid
die ages for the bridegroom to place
the ring first on the thumb of the
bride, then on her second finger, and
then on her third. at the name of each
person of the Trinity, leaving it, as
the rubric directs, on her fourth finger
at the word Amen, thus signifving by
action, not less than by word. that he
was undertaking the duties of the mar
ried state, lin the name of the Father.
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"
The reason assigned for the fourth fin
ger being appointed as the final rest
ing place OF the wedding ring is be-
cause on that finger there is generally
believed to be a certain vein which pro-
ceeds to the heart. The left hard most
probably was appointed, because the
virgins espoused to the church wore
the ring OF their celestial nuptials on
the right hand. Review.

The making of the spring costume
goes merrily on: the Easter thron0 dis
plays a goodly number of original
gowns, quaint and gay. But it is
neither the quaint nor the gay that
will catch the eye of the idle stroller.
That is the disappointing part OF it, to
the original girl. Her bright colors
become only small part of a bright
multitude; her odd rever, the peculiar
droop of that rufle, the fanciful cut of
that overskirt fit in with host of other
quaint and fanciful notions. But it is
the tall, slim, straight girl with
faultless gown of no pretension that
catches the eye of that idle stroller.

always command your attention. She

sweet-faced girl, the shirt and tie look
so pretty that one can't altogether con-
denim them. This shirt was pale-blue,
a very fashionable shade in linen. The
gray coat was cut off short in front,
waistcoat fashion, ending IN small
points; in the back it fell in long coat

half an inch beyond the gray sleeve.

be worn with dark skirts. is made OF
