ENDURING SENTIMENT

I HAVE been given permission to
print this especially touching letter
from q man:
"Dear Mrs. Post-I lost my beloved
wife a year ago. The tragedy of this
separation of two people who for near
ly thirty years were so happy to be to-
gether, Is just something that only
those who are struggling to endure
this same aching loneliness can know.
Lately | have gotten a great deal or
comfort In an idea that may, or may
not, be my own; at any rate 1t was
new so far as my ever having heard
about it was concerned.
my wife and | were married with
the double ring ceremony. And when
she died her wedding band was never
taken off her finger. A few months
ago it occurred to me to take her en-
gagement ring with my own wedding
band to the jeweler and ask him
whether he could build up the top of
my ring so that he could sink the dia-
mond of her ring into it, without chang
ing the under half of my ring or OBJ
literating the engraving of our names.
He said he could by melting little
more gold at the top Of my band,
which he did, and the post-setting
looks like a conventional gypsy hoop
and is not clumsy or obvious one.
"a friend of mine told me that
was selfish to use the stone, especial
ly as had the gold brought over the
edge to make it look smaller. My
friend says it should be given to our
son for him to give to his future wife.
But he has no present intention OF
marrying and | am getting real con-
ISOLATION In having something that she
always wore and held dear, constantly
close to me. 1t is not too late to pass
the composite ring on to my son even
now, or later, and he can have all the
other jewels that his mother had any
time he wants them.
"Am l just a silly sentimentalist, or
do you think that this same plan
would give other lonely widOwers the
real comfort that 1t gives me? 1t was
not just a diamond to her, and | could
not bear to leave it in hiding when !
had looked at 1t for all those years In
its rightful place on her hand. Per-
haps if you haven't heard Of the plan,
you might want to print it with your
answer for the benefit of some other
sentimental reader-if there might be
one"
In answer l want to say that of
course can understand how you feel
and | think it is a beautiful idea that
is likely to bring a little warmth of
comfort not only to one, but to many
In no possible sense are you selfish
AS for sentiment-what is beauty of
life without it? .... ....... ....
