ruled out Of the game OF hearts. Then

"Of course. lots Of men already wear

- almost invariably observed at the
marriage Of Episcopalians. OF members
OF the Greek Catholic Church. and OF
the German Lutherans. Ali through
Germany one sees men going about
with the broad band OF gold on the
third finger. Perhaps that is one rea-
son why the average German is such a
good husband and father.
