WHAT ABOUT RINGS?

The apparel oft proclaims the man.
Shakespeare.
TT MAY be that some friend Of yours
In Paris will write and tell you
that "they" are wearing rings out
side of their gloves in the French cap
ital, and from New York you may hear
that this fad has reached this side OF
the Atlantic. But In spite of this in
formation you will probably not
choose to wear your rings in this way.
and to do so would show not very good
taste If you belong to just sane, av-
erage group Of mortals who do not
strive after the new and unusual In
dress. For to wear rings over the
gloves is still so unusual that 1t would
make you tremendously conspicuous if
you attempted it. But 1t has been an
established custom and there is fa-
NOUS portrait Of queen showing her
with a large ring on the index finger
of her gloved right hand.
A few actresses and women who like
the unusual in dress did wear rings
on the index finger a season or so ago.
but it was a passing fad, and not an
one at that. You will no
tice, too, that women of taste practi-
cally never wear rings ON the middle
finger. They appear especially awk-
ward there. They are now worn al
most always either on the ring finger
or on the little finger.
1t is not in very good taste, and it
was never attractive, to wear many
rings on one finger. Fingers weighed
down by diamonds indicate that the
wearer is more anxious to show the
value Of her rings than their beauty.
A married woman does not wear any
ring but her wedding and engagement
ring, or her wedding ring alone, on her
left hand ring finger. OF course,
there are some married and engaged
women who do not care much for the
wearing of these betrothal and we'd
ding rings, who sometimes substitute
for them a ring Of another sort. But
la this case the other ring should be
worn instead Of the wedding or be-
trothal ring and not with it.
The old-time rule used to be that a
well-bred woman never wore diamonds
in the morning, and you will still no.

SADIE

THE quaint name of Sadie, lately
spelt Sadye, has it's origin with
Sarah. 1t comes from Hebrew
verb meaning to fight or rule, and
hence came to signify princess" The
first record Of the use of Sarah or
Sara belongs to Bible history where
the wife of Abraham was SO called.
Sadie came into existence through
the Irish-unless one cares to believe
that she is only an Americanization
of one of Sarah's many diminutives.
But for the sake Of genealogical ex-
actness, it is nice to believe that the
Irish Sadhbh was the real forerunner
of Sadie.
But between the time of Abraham's
wife and the appearance of the Irish
yersion Of her name, Sarah had been
adopted by other countries and had
wor great popularity. In England

to wear rings in profusion In a busi-
ness office. In general. children are
not permitted to wear any very valu-
able rings, and the most discriminating
mothers perhaps do not permit their
children to wear any rings at all. Girls
are not usually permitted to wear pre-

or are seventeen or eighteen at least.
There is a rule In most hospitals
that the nurses in training should not
wear any rings, and the sensible
young woman does not object to this.

HAD ORIGIN In
PAGAN FESTIVAL
CUSTOM OF CHOOSING A uALEN-
TINE Is ANCIENT.
Fathers Of Christianity Modified the
Practices, Which They Were In
able Entirely to Eradicate.

st. Valentines day is the 14th of
February, and singuLarly ominOus to
lovers. st. Valentine is said to have
been a bishop who suffered martyrdom
under the Roman emperor, Claudius,
or else under Aurelian In 271.
Like many another semi Christian
custom, the day set apart to the mem
Ory Of st. Valentine in the Christian
calendar is an old pagan festival upon
which our ancestors believed that the
birds chose their mates for the coming
year. This, at least, is the commonly
received version Of our modern custom
OF choosing q valentine" on the 14th
Of February and of sending q billet
doux or a fancy valentine through the
mail to some favored one.
In old Rome, the 18th of February
was the festival of Juno Februata
(JunO the fructifyer), and the Roman
church substituted st. Valentine for
the heather goddess. At that festival,
called "Lupercalia," it was there
customary, among other ceremonies,
to put the names of young women into
a box, from which they were drawn
by the men as chance directed.
The Christian clergy, finding lit diff
nevlt or impossible to extirpate the
pagan practice, and In accordance
with sheir general principle to eradi-
cate tie vestiges of pagan superstition
by ret: lining the ceremonies but modi-
flying their significance, gave 1t re-
ligiOus aspect by substituting the
names of particular saints for those
of women. The saints whose names
were drawn were proposed for imita-
ton to the persons who received the
slips of paper whereOn they were
written, and in many religious houses,
where this custom still prevails, each
member of the community preserves
his billet during the year, as an incite-
ment to initiate the virtues and ia
woke the special intercessiOn of his
holy valentine.
This innovation, however, namely,
the substitution of the names of saints
for the names of lovers, could not
please the young people forever
Though the clergy repeatedly forbade
the custom of valentines and ordered
the use of cards with saints names,
the old pagan custom could not be
abolished. The boys and girls tri-
umphed over the saints, and in the
end the girls trfumphed over the boys,
wrestling from them their exclusive
privilege of choosing mates.
The old custom of drawing names is
to this day observed in many parts of
England and Scotland in the following
manner: A number Of clips of paper
with the names OF an equal number
Of men and women are shuffied and
drawn, so each young man has val
entine in the person of young
maiden, and each maiden draws
young man whom she calls hers. The
valentines give each other gifts, and
often this little sport ends in love and
marriage.
