Well G. pop. this one wont, and he's

The dog will tern out to be snob,

with her own and your bouquets, the
safest plan is for you to wear the bride
groom's ring on the third or fourth
finger of your left hand, then you take
off his ring just before he slips your
ring on your finger. You should, OF
course, tell the clergyman beforehand
that you are going to give the bride
groom a ring He will then tell you
when to put the ring on his finger. Let
me add that usually, in America, the
mans ring Is fitted to his little finger,
rather than to his third finger, as IN
Europe.
Dear Mrs. Post: Why do you ap-
prove leaving cards on wedding gifts
when they are displayed? Don't you
think that Bill Jones, who gave a little
silver ash tray, will feel uncomfortable
when he sees 1t standing beside Joe
Smiths large silver platter? Why do
you allow this practice?"
Answer: The only reason for leaving
cards on wedding presents Is considera-
ton for the bride, who must otherwise
repeat over and over again, Aunt Jane
gave this; Mr. Smith gave that" Usu-
ally presents are arranged SO that each
is shown to best advantage-big things
together and small things together.
don't know why Bill Jones need feel
uncomfortable. His ash tray may very
easily have been prettier, or at least as
pretty, as the platter. In Bill Jones
case, I'd care If my ash tray were ugly
and another ash tray much prettier-
but the size of the platter wouldn't
worry me bit
