The custom was started recently
by a fashionable divorcee who had
her wedding ring made smaller so
that che could wear Il on the little

offer room for the series Of rings
that some Of our theatrical stars

Perhaps IN some cases this wear

to indicate that the old love had not
wholly vanished, and that some day
those who had been put assunder
