"DIvORCE RING" THE LATEST
Fad Recently Adopted by Those Freed
From the Marital Tie by Court
Proceedings.

From time immemorial woman has
worn on the third finger of her left
hand plain band of gold as n symbol
of her honOred position of wifehood.
And when death takes from her the
partner of her life she signifies her
loss and grief by wearing appropriate
garb.
But in what different manner to-
day the widow of the present, that is,
the one who by the sanction of the
courts, has resigned her job as wife,
makes known to all the world her re-
newed state of single blessedness. For
the grass widow of today hn>
adopted the latest of fads, the "di-
vorce ring" The jeweled symbol of
the severance of the marital tie takes
the place of the former gold band. 1t
is made of gold or platinum on which
is mounted broken Cupid's bow at
the end of which is set n jewel to rep
resent n divorce. Should the wearer
once more embark on the matrimonial
seas and again come to wreck then
another jewel is added to indicate the
second divorce, and so on.
