But how many people know why the
third finger is the ring fnger2 An an
atomist has given this explanation
II is the only finger where two prin-

familiarity. ever although the person
in question be an acquaintance or
friend. A mild form of dignity is the
keynote 10 quick confidence in bust

quiet a way as possible the wants OF

ther conversation. Proceed as quietly
as possible 10 get exactly. or as near

pointed that you should not have just

the clerk should suggest the possible

Until. methfnks. the tender tunes

To soar above all songs Of eartn
And find those OF diViner birth

Above my passions quenchless fire;
The hard ice-crust of bitter years

And waves of feeling forward bound
To break on shores of sweetest sound

And each caressive cadence clings
With arms insistent round the things
