to grow more serious and daily an
increased number of refugees seek
food and shelter in the six Red Cross
tent camps that have been established
as close to the flooded regions as is
I racticable. Two special flood COM

tents, cots, blankets, and field kitchens
have been distributed in large num-

The problem Of food, both for the
refugees and the live stock, is pre-
senting the most serious problem to
the Red Cross workers and most of
the funds now being raised will be
used to assure a proper food supply

The Wedding Ring.
(By Lady Nora Bentenck, in New
York American.)

York American.)
Every woman is interested in her
wedding ring-that little band of
gold or silver which is the outward
sign of plighted troth.
It is, of course, emblematic of the
highest things, being first of all a
circle which represents eternity
love, constancy, a satisfaction with
each other which will 60 on "till
death do them part"
Secondly, it is of gold, because gold
is (or was until the advent of plati-
num) the rarest and therefore the
most precious of metals.
Solomon said that the value of
good woman was above rubies, but
indeed it would be a man richer than
Solomon who could afford to give
his lady love ring hewn out of and
fashioned from pigeons blood ruby!
However, I once saw ring made
out of one emerald. 1t must have
been. a wondrous stone, for the lady's
finger was not over small, and it
would take a fairly large emerald
to encompass the finger Of a six
inch glove hand.
But the ring I saw looked moth
ing; the heart Of it had been punch
ed out to make something for which
lit was never intended, with the re-
suit that it seemed to be nothing
more valuable than a piece of jade.
Now that platinum is the rarest
metal lovers seek it to deck the be-
loved be:ause-but perhaps not only
because-of its rarity. For it does,
indeed, possess a subtle loveliness of
its own which the more blatant gold
cannot boast.
Although it is dim, it is in nowise
dull, and, slenderly set around pref
ty finger, it could make diamond
seem like a scintillating dewdrop
placed there, instead Of on a rose
leaf, by fairy hands.
During the war flying men gave
their wives wedding rings made out
of aluminium. Not, of course, to typi-
fly lightness, nor because their love
was of a tightly character, but be-
cause it was the thing most -eminis-
cent Of the lover, and therefore,
the thing that the beloved would
value the most!
Indeed, in courting days it is not
the gift of the lover, but rather the
love Of the giver, which is of the
greatest importance.
Some wedding rings are thick,
others thin; some have words in
scribed inside them; some signs.
Some have a tiny stone sunk in
the gold, so as to be scarcely Wis
ible to the outside eye, and only Of
Importance to the donor and the
wearer-their loved little secret, hid
den in their hearts and memorized
forever in concrete form in the lit
tie band of gold upon the loved ones
finger.
It is said the third finger of the
left hand was chosen to be the we'd
ding finger because small vein runs
direct from it to the heart. Yet in
most European countries the ring is
worn upon the right hand.
Among the poorer people the en-
gagement ring is the wedding ring,
countries the wedding ring is worn
upon the other hand.
At the marriage ceremony the hus-
band withdraws it from ope hand and
places it upon the other.
