NEW FAD IN WEDDING RINGS

Divorcees Have Bet Style of Wearing Them on- the Third Finger of / the Right Hand. There is a revolution In wedding rings, which may be the outcome of “modem thought”—be that as it may, this golden band, which stood originally for the mark of bondage, may now be removed and placed upon the third finger of the right hand—after a pleasure trip to Reno and when the judge has granted the decree. Ab the most modish and strictly up to date rlnges ate composed of platinum and are merely a narrow circle and ab the number of divorcees and “grass widows” are by no means limited, it will doubtless resemble a guard ring when removed from the wedding finger and placed on the other hand. All of which goes to prove that women are no longer so mightily proud of being married, the goal is no longer wedlock, quite the contrary the little “bachelor girl" appeals most strongly and suggests a fascinating spirit of independence which eclipses even the liberty of the divorce’s situation. About one-half the widows spend their time in Wondering whether the other half be “grass” or • “sod,” but the’ “mysterious widow".will not longer be a cause for speculation, since a glance at the hands will at once reveal the truth.
