She tugged at the ring. 1t wouldn't

Cant you get It off for mer she
asked.
The pawnbroker threaded a needle
with strong linen thread, soaped the
needle aud slipped 1t head first under
the ring toward the hand. Then he
wound the long end Of the thread
tightly and evenly around the finger
almost to the nail That done. he
took the needle and unwound the
thread from the base Of the finger out.
and as he unwound the RUG slipped
off. He weighed the ring.

the woman. II can get So any place

He returned the ring.
"She didn't really want to pawn It,"

1860. when there was mourning for
King Charles brother, the Duke OF
Gloucester. he ''bought a pair Of short
black stockings To wear over pair or
silk ones for mourning" Next day
"came one from my fathers with
black cloth coat. made of my short
cloak, to walk up and down in" The
problem of mourning for men must
have been greater than 1t Is now In
those days. when ordinary masculine
costume was less somber. On ibis oe-
