MUST THE WEDDING RING GO?
VIII Women Rebel Against Wearing
the symbol of Mans Authority?

tue SS GktpOl Ihuh
Pedrson's Weekly.
For 1000 years, ever since the Romans
plighted their troth with tiny iron band,
tie magic circlet has kept its hold upon
the world, but will that hold be as firm in
the future? 1t must be remembered that
after ALL the ring is nothing more than o
symbol; that the putting on of ring is
not necessary To complete the legal con-
tract OF marriage.
Nor are signs wanting that it's star IS al
ready on the wane. The engagement ring
may be regarded as doomed, since Princess
May substituted an engagement bracelet
for the conventional ring of betrotllal.
She has not, indeed, declined the mystic
symbol of the union of hearts, presented
by the Welch people To the Duke of York,
but the refusal of the engagement ring
might quite fairly be regarded as the first
step in the path toward the abolition OF
its more important Successor.
There is yet another argument against
the wedding ring. the ring was adopted
as the outward and visible sign OF authority
and power. In the olden days, when the
MESA ges were sent by WORT of mouth, it
was the custom, in order to prove the au-
thenticity of the bearer, to intrust him with
the sgnet ring Of the sender.
Thus, when a man took unto himself q
wife, whom he placed at the head of his
household, that delegated authority was
made visible To the world by comforting upon
her the all-potent ring-the only distnc-
tion being that the woman Wore her ring
on the left hand, as being the inferior hand
OF the two, while the man, as lord and mas
ter, carried his upon the right or superior
hand
In day, therefore, when a woman claims
the authority in her own right and scorn-
fully repudiates the idea OF being dele
gated il would be only consistent for her
TO refuse the symbol. If, indeed. there
should be a comforting of rings at al, it
| would be more in keeping with the man TO
! receive il, since the spirit of the age is all
| in favor of his being the delegated author
| ity.
1t is not generally known that in all there
| are about twentyfour different makes of
| rings and three qualities of gold. The
| cheap quality is in favor with the Scotch
| and Irish, while in the north OF England
| heavy rings are in demand. or the two
styles ofring-t -theToundandt the broad sort
tie popular taste most approves the latter
| as being most snowy The wants of the
| United Kingdom in this respect are sup
| piled for the most part by Birmingham
| where the trade is so brisk that il is no un-
| common thing for one establishment to
| turn out patches of from sixty to seventy
| dozens a week. and, so far as we can see at
| present, there seems no prospect OF any
| decay in their thriving trade.
