In the Je.OeLry Store Before
and After Wedding Bells

Others knot a string about her finger
or try one of the rings she already
has on one of her fingers. But the
great majority just guess at it-and
usually guess wrong. Most of those
who guess select ring too large, prob
ably assuming they will be on the safe
side when it comes to readjusting 1t.
But it is Just as easy to make a ring
larger as it is to make it smaller"
What does the average young man
buy his sweetheart, in the way of jew
elry. and what does the average mar
ried man buy his wife?
More Expensive After Wedding.
Barthman said that gold or silver
meshbags are the most popular gift
during the courtship period. with gold
bracelets and pearl opera glasses run
ming a close second. After marriage.
the woman usually demands pearl
necklace or a diamond and platinum
bracelet, and gets it.
Gifts for children are generally in
the form of a ring, bracelet or pin.
When women make gifts to men
they generally select a scarf pin or
gold fountain pen.
ITS interesting to watch the devel-
opment of a young couples courtship
and marriage" Barthman said. "A
young man will come in and buy some
small present. such as brooch. cost
ing SIS or $40. few months later
he viii make a little more expensive
gift. Then. as birthdays and Christ
masses arrive, he increases the value
of his gifts until finally the engage
ment ring is bought. Next is the we'd
ding ring. After this there is a ces-
sation of three or four years. They
are spending all their money furnish
ing g. home and making start. If he
is successful in business, this period
will be followed by one of far more
expensive presents"

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Dec. 25.-There is no
business that furnishes a better OPP
portunity to study human psychology
than that of selling jewelry, according
to William Barthman, who for more
than a quarter of a century has had
shop in Maiden Lane, the diamond
center of America.
Zone can invariably forecast the
married life of a couple by their atti-
tude when they come in to buy the
engagement ring" he said today.
Easy to Pick Boss.
1T is easy to tell which will DOM
mate after the wedding ceremony from
their actions during the purchase. If
she makes the selection and fixes the
price, you may depend upon it that
she will make most of the decisions
after they are married, and vice versa.
1t is also possible to tell whether she
will be thrifty or spendthrift.
Barthman cited an instance of a
young couple who came in to buy
diamond solitaire. The youth very
delicateIy let his sweetheart under
stand that he did not feel able to pay
more than $500 or $500. But every
ring she decided upon was valued at
1900 to $1,000. They finally com
promised on one costing about $500.
about twice what he had intended TO
pay.
And if 1 had been that young man
I would have been tempted to call it
off right there" the gray-haired
jeweler declared.
Use String to Tell Size.
Barthman was asked how the aver
age young man determines the size of
the engagement ring
well, a few of them bring their
fiancees right in to try it on" he re-
Piled Some obtain from US a card
board arrangement to fix the size.
