THIE MAsCIuINE RING

Rings have never been more fash
ionabie for men than they are at pres
emit. says a woman writer who knows.
No logical cause can be discovered for
1t. 1t is mot, in all likelihood, due to
anything relating to the war, or The
raw Spring weather, or THE Size Of the
Spring hats, or even the high price Of
putty in New Orleans. 1t is just a fanlcy
Of the mOmenlt, and even those who
have long disliked the wearing of rings
by men will, no doubt, accept the
situation with grace and perhaps same
tion. 1t is noticeable THAT the rings
are mostly of the heavy plain gold
and seal variety, such as have been
worm in England for years, and which,
curiOusly enough, when one takes An
glomania into account, have never
been very popular here
Now many men are wearing these
Engish rings, or ait least rings model
ed upon the English design. The smart
shops abound in them. Women even
are wearing them, especially the tailor
made maids One great merit of such
rings is that they only appear in THE
best quality OF goods. being almost
never initiated in plated ware. When
you see a man wearing such a ring you
may be pretty sure THAT both ring and
man are the real thing.
