A .Ilostr Ring.

A very swell and very pretty girl, who lives not mile from the big Fifth avenue cathedral, has been receiving countless condolences on the announced loss of her engagement ring sapphire between two big diamonds. She has been partially consoled by the gift from her fiance of another handsome ring. Now she is beginning to quake and have all sorts of qualms, both moral and mental, because she is afraid some one of the six persons who know the truth about the loss will tell that it occurred at the poker table, and that she in a moment of frenzy or enthusiasm put up the ring to ''call'' a $50 raise" and lost it, This is an absolutely true story, as six persons who read it-and perhaps more by this time-wil acknowledge.
