that most people do not even know
. man is married when he wears any
kind of ring other than a wedding
ring on his fourth finger, left hand.
But that's a fact. Where the types
of rings worn by brides are somewhat
similar a man may wear anything
from a signet TO a real wedding ring
on his left hand and still be in per-
feet prOpriety. As a matter of fact.
most men dislike the plain wedding
ring and prefer something like a sig
net. Brides aren't letting their hus-
bands off without equality in rings as
much as anything else nowadays and
