‘Legend Of Wedding Ring

,“W1tl1 this ring I tlhee wed," and in lin- vust silence of the church there is a moment's hush. as the magic band encirclm that slim finger of the Bride, the ring that is the one symbol of marriage that she carries away from the altar.

To understand the part that the wedding ring plays in the trial-tinge rrrcmunv. 1t 1s necessary to g0 back to very cafy history. Even fllen it 1s very difficult to distinguish

thal ring, and that of the ceremony. As pledges of betrothal, or wedding carliest days of civilization.

'I'her¢,- is nothing more interesting than the history of the wedding ring.

Prior to the christian era, rings’ yllvverl a \er_v import-ant, part in Jow- 1sl1 lnstory‘. 'l'_1t>, Ping was first worn, n; a .2521 by which all orders were‘ signed. and :11] thutgs cvlvaluc secured Therefore the giving of a. ring was‘ the symbol that the receiver was ad- mitted into the ‘higthest friendship and trust. l<"1'om this it was but a step to using rings, i11 wnnectlon with the wedding.

in ‘Anglo-Saxon history, we find that. betrotlhal gifw were exchanged. Among thosc given by the bridegroom lwas .1 ring blessed by the priest, and placed on the right hand till marriage then removed to the first finger on the left hand.

Romans and Greeks also used the ring as a part of their marriage cere- mony. Thc "Roman ring was most often of iron to symbolize the lasting character of tfhe betrothal. The giv- lng of a ring in Roman times sig- nlfled that a. bargain had been eon- cluded. -

Dear Dorothy Dix-dust where can we young P¢°P1B dPflW "16 "l" W‘ tween being unconventional and being bad? b t girl and she is fond of me. We are the most. congenial of companions, u neither of us wants to many. We are both very mod- ern in our viewpoints and broad enough minded to

out being married, and so on, and so on. there is nothing new about: the seven deadly sins. _ _ just experimenting with them and hearing about them for the first time.

Our first parents found out all there is to know about sea and there

hasn't even been a new temptation invented since the serpent episode in thc

» Garden of Eden. There have always been men and women who set, up house- ’ keeping together without the benefit of clergy.

So for heaven's sake don't try to-throw the glamour of modernity around immorality. It ls old stuff. Old as humanity itself. And don't. let that’ poor, silly young girl think there is anything new or modern in becoming Every’ woman of tho street has tried it out before her. And

Your idea that you and the girl can spend s pleasant two rears together

interlude, is a11 alluring theory, but it won't work out successfully in real lifc. Perhaps for you the results will not. be so disastrous, for Mrs. Grundy casts a, more lenient eye on the transgressions of men than she does on those of women, and you may not be sent to Coventry for- your unconven- method of living.

But even so it does no young man any good to be involved in a liaison. Employers want clean-living yotnig men for positions of trust and import.- ance and no young man, no matter what his ability, would be sent to rep- resent a reputable firm in another city if he. carried his girl friend along‘ with him. An illicit love aflalr ls a mlllstone around the neck of any man that nearly always sinks him.

Nor 1s it always ns easy to get rid of the woman who has comprulnmod Such women nave a. way of sticking . tn a 1min long after he has tired of them and tried to rid himself of them.

pursued by s black-mailer the balance of his life, or had a weeping, re- proachful Old Woman of the Sea on his back that he never could shake ofi.

As for the girl herself, such an arrangement as you propose would be fatal to her. Shc would be declasse and when your two years’ companion- ship was ovrr and you said good-by and good luck to her. where would she go? would any respectable man be willing to marry her? What sort of firm would be willing to employ s, girl of easy virtue if it knew it? What typepf woman would be wllllrnr, to associate with her?

You and she know the answer to these questions as well as l, and you know that the girl would be done for. Her life ruined. She would have to go off somewhere where she was not known and begin all over sgoin, and that is a difficult thing to do.

You say you are ready to face scandal. But you are not. S_ca.ndal will break the strongest. We all lle when we say we do not. care what people think of us. We do care. It is the most important thing in the world to us. Their good opinion means fame. Their bad opinion shame and dis- grace. and we are happy or miserable as these ln our little world turn their thumbs upo ro down on us. A lot of men and women who go into illicit lovc affairs think that they can defy public opinion, but when they find doors shut ln their faces and old friends‘ cut them and everybody looks at thcm_ with aneering eyes, they cannot endure it and begin to hate each other for ‘ the mess they have got into. A .

No, son, you can't do this you are contemplating and get any happl-' ness out of it. For what: we get in life we have to pay, and the price of the companionship of a woman is honorable marriage. If this girl isn't worth that to you, let her alone. Don't drag her down into the depths of a sordid intrigue. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dlx—-Would you take s. chance on marrying s. man who tell you frankly that his mother will always be first with him and that no girl can ever ts-ks nor place in his affections? Although I love him dearly, 1 . would rather give him up now than marry him and play second fiddle to his mother. What do you think? . B. E.

Answer:

I think any other man in the world makes l. better husband than the one with s mother fixation. I think triere is more chance of s wife winning out against any other rival than a mother.
