The wedding ring is tho subject OF
queiat historical facts and endless
s'per.titions. 1t was probably chosen
as the symbol Of marriage more for
convenience than anything else. 1t Is
supposed to be q symbol of unbroken
love and of power, and to carry spec al
curative virtues with it. The old
good-luck saying about it is.' "As your
wedding-ring wears your cares will

nerve ran directly from the ..ring-fin-
