Rings as a Protection.

Il used to be surprised" said clerk In high class jewelry establishment, when a woman whom knew was un- married would come in and coolly se- lect a handsome solitaire diamond ring, the sort usually sold for an engage ment ring, and then quite as matter of course, buy plain gold band of the wedding ring variety. couldn't un- derstand 1t at first, but now I've learned that many unmarried women think two such rings. worn when trav- cling, for instance, serve about the same purpose as chaperon. had a case the other day where mother came in with her unmarried daughter "a pretty girl hardly out of her teens and bought two such rings. From their conversation 1 learned that the girl was to take the trip to the Pacific coast unaccompanied, and the mother evidently thought if her daughter was protected by her rings she'd not be so apt to be criticised for being alone
 Funny idea. but the women seem to think 1t works well."-New York Sun.
