WEDDING GLOVE FoR BRIDE
Third Finger ls Left u~nstItched Sc
That the Ring Can 30 Slipped
On,

A happy era has dawned for the
bride at the fateful moment when the
ring is about to be placed on her fin
ger.
Instead OF the usual struggle to re-
move her left hand glove she will
now be able to the third fin
ger without effort and without losing
her composure.
This delightful result Is to be OBJ
tanned by an ingenious wedding
glove" device. The inside seam on
the third finger Of the left glove Is I'M
stitched. so that all that the bride
need do is to slip her finger through
the slit to receive the ring. The fin
ger can just as easily be slipped back
into the glove after the ceremony.
The device will be greatly appre-
ciated not only by the bride, but also
by the nervous bridegroom.
The story OF the origin OF the we'd
ding glove has come to light. Some
time ago a girl who had lost her right
arm in the hunting field asked for a
single wedding glove.
She remarked on the awkwardness
Of having to remove her glove with
the help OF her teeth. and 1t was then
seen that matters would be greatly
facilitated for the bride If she only
had to cor the ring finger.
The experiment was so successful
that It aroused the interest OF other
prospective brides, who saw In it q
boon which would save them from
the usual difficulties OF removing a
whole glove In the moment when the
ring is about to be put on-Exchange.
