Manners
By MRS. CORNELIUS
BEECKMAN

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Will you please inform me
on which finger it is correct to
wear a class ring? 1 maintain
that it is worn on the third
finger of the left hand, and is
removed only by the engage
ment ring. My friend says it
it is to be worn on the same
finger of the right hand, and
is never removed, unless by
choice. Who is correct? D.
There is no definite rule
about the finger on which the
class ring is to be worn. This
is usually voted on in class
meeting, so that the correct
measurements may be taken
for the rings. 1t is very often
the custom to wear the class
ring on the small finger of the
right hand, but if this is not
the finger chosen by the ma
jority of the members of the
class, then any other finger
may be chosen.

parts of hydrogen peroxide and

Of course, a masque of any
sort simply serves to push the
problem of wrinkles into the
near future.
The thing to do to get at the
source of the situation, is to see
that the circulation in your face
is good. This, of course, is
achieved by massage, and al
ways do it with an upward and
outward stroke. And we advise

There's no need to tell you it's
smart, for you can see that for
yourself.
But there's much to say for
the color scheme and the ma
terials used. It's of a corded
wool, much like cheviot, but not
too heavy. The color is rust, a
stunning rich rusty tone that's
becoming to blonde and bru-
nette alike. The scarf and belt
are of brown stitched velvet,
stiffened bit by the stitching,
so that they hold the shape you
put them in.

the local hairdressers that she
tries to keep her face a perfect

and never frowns when she is

in surprise.
And all this to keep wrinkles
from creeping into her face.

cult, and very strenuous to say
the least. But there are some
simple remedies.
