Wedding Rings for Brideqrooms.

Some new rings are being shown
which on first appearance seem to
be very handsome seals, but on closer
examination show that they are to be
divided when the time comes into
two separate rings. They are made to
order as is much Of the jewelry worn
nowadays by those who wish to have
exclusive styles in their articles of
personal adornment. 1t is a custom
rather strictly observed in Germany,
this exchange Of rings on the wedding
day, and it is very pretty custom.
why shouldn't a man have some out
ward symbol to show that he Is mar

this double ring ceremony? and why
not? Very few brides now select
plain diamond solitaire that was for
so long considered the only proper en-
gagement token, the larger the stone
the more the girl loved to flash 1t.
Now a diamond is used If the girl
wishes it, but it is cut and set in some
individual manner and is made with
the promise that no duplicates will
be sold.

No doubt the little people of today
are often thankful that they are Ev-
ing just when they are for there are
great many things for thep to en-
joy that children in days gone by
knew nothing about Yet it would be
quite a mistake to suppose that chill
dren in the long ago never had any
good times, or that none of the grown
up people cared or knew what was
good for them, and in the year 1851
there was born III England a baby
boy who, one would think, could
scarcely have Jared better than he
did had he lived in our own times.
The father of this little boy was de
lighted when he was born, and made
a number CT rules for the best care
and management of the "Doile realms
most precyouse joycelie," as he call
cd him. or the whole realms most
precious joy as We would say Al
though they didn't know anything in
those days about the dangerous bscii-
/, that are travelling about every
where trying TO do all the harm they
can, one of these rules said that no
strangers were TO see the baby with
ont special order-aDd the order was
seldom overland that no visitor was
10 touch him except to kiss his hand.
This is very good rule for those who
cave to care for babies. and is just
as useful today as It was in the SIX
tecnth century, but it is quite possible
that his father when he made il hadn' I
any idea that too much handling and
kissing was bad for babies. Probably
the real reason fer making it was
that the baby was a prince and was
TO be King of England some dag. and
of course no one could be allowed to
AXE liberties with a prince. even If
he happened to be baby.
The prince was the only son or
