THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is rapidly approaching the
| bachelor girl stage of her career,
and will soon be over the line unless
she changes her state soon. She used
| to be engaged, so they say, to one of
| the men who went to the war, and
for that matter, she probably is still
engaged to him. Before he left he
| bought for her an attractive ring set
with a handsome diamond, but the
mounting was gold, and the other
girls were all getting platinum. OF
course, the girls usually accept the
sort of ring the man offers and like
il because he chose it-at least they
pretend to, and that has the same
effect. But this girl frankly told him
she preferred platinum setting. He
took the ring back. saying that he
would leave it at the jewelers. to be
reset He was then in camp. A call
to move came to his unit, and he left
before -he ring affair was settled.
Now he is away. and the girl has no
ring. The world is taking her word
for it that she has a fiance, whereas
| she might have had the glitterine
pl oof, except for that insidious long
4 ing after the alluring white metal that
is so sho"kingly high priced.
