For a time the fate Of the wedding ring

ultra-modern girl who wouldn't wear one.
The wedding ring, she declared. was the
outward semblance of her bondage. and
when John suggested the purchasing Of
one she averred that 1t was infinitely more

wANE OF THE WEDDING RING

Speaking Of the platinum ew-fangled
kind. did you know that the old-fangled
wedding kind, which originated way back
in the day when Plny was young boy
ana they wrote the dates on their letters
b. c., were made of iron--and that in addi-
ton to married or betrothed women only
slaves were committed to the iron kind
and forbidden by law to disport any of a
more precious substance?
II is even so, and perhaps the modern
girl, before she reverted to type, had the
right Of IT when she contended that the
evolution Of woman as an independent
thinking being would not be achieved until
the wedding ring had faded away quite to
nothingness.

Many bakers now supply graham and

following is suggested.
GRAHAM BREAD
Three cupfuls milk and water (equal
