WEDDING RINGS
WHY ON THE "FOURTH FINGER" ?
Mr. Arthur S. May, author of " Marri" age in Church, Chapel, and Register Office in an articls contributed to a Leadon paper 1498 -
The marriage service to-day is in the main what it was centuries ago, but there are marked differences in the giving of the ring. The bridegroom used to put it on the thumb first and then on the other fingers in succession In the name of the Holy Trinity, placing it on the fourth finger as ho said Amen.
It is still termed the fourth finger in the Prayer Book, though we are accustom ed rather to call it the third, not reckon ing the thumb in.
It was the right band and not the left, The change from the right to the left hand is an odd product of the Reforma- tion, and, of course, the ring is slipped immediately upon the fourth finger.
now
The Puritans prohibited the ring altogether as a heathenish practice, but some of their own ministers' persisted in using it, and it came back again at tho Restoration.
Why the fourth finger was selected has been much discuss. The old explanation was that to that finger came an artery from the heart. This is anatomically in- accurate, and a better reason perhaps

is that the ring was placed where it was STARVING AMIDST PLENTY! less exposed to wear and tear.
However, though it was placed on this finger at the marriage, it was not always worn there afterwards. In pictures of the time of Elizabeth it is seen upon the thumb, and this appears to have been quite an ordinary custom even เค the days of George 1. In some parts of the Continent it is wort on the fore finger.
Preference was always shown in Eng land for the plain ring When Queen Mary married Philip of Spain she told her Council it was her will to be wedded with a plain hoop of gold like other mandang.
Many collections contain specimens of rings with inscriptions upon them, seme- times ornamented also with gems and enamel; but these were more common for the betrothal than the actual marriage.
An old writer tells us that at one time the ring was made of iron, the metal being hard and durable to signify the
Way in it that with a plentiful supply of food, good food too, men or women can atarvo just a surely as if they had no food at all? Why is it that men and women can't be really heakay unless the food they eat is perfectly digested? Aud, further, why is it that after a good square meal, not only may you deriva little or no benefit from food, but that same food may be positively harmful to your health? These are questions, the auswers to which are of vital importance to every reader of this paper.
We pay band-earned money for food. Most of us, in fact, spend our lives slaving for food and raiment, hence it is only air to ourselves that we should get the best value possible out of the food we eat. Let us consider the question that men and woman can't be healthy unlasa the food they cat is

In point of fact, however, a ring is hardly any more necessary than a best man or giving the bride away, though even a marriage at Gretna was never considered quite decant without it.
