MURDER TRIAL'S

SIR BERNARD SPILSBURY AND A NEW BOOK.

"Women will to-day come into a shop and taking off their wed ding ring, worn thin with per- haps ten or 15 years use, will
ask for it to be remodelled to
the fashionable curtain-ring . type.
What a Change. "The general reason given is: "Oh, I am tired of this shape I want a change.","
"It is a surprising development, because for centuries thero has been a superstition or prejudice | against even taking off the wed- ing ring, and certainly not letting it pass into other hands.
"When I was young, wonten would take their wedding rings to their graves."
Another subtle change is seen in the wearing of the ring.
It is becoming a vogue to keep it on the third finger of the right hand, instead of the left..
The old-fashioned 18-carat gold ring is still popular, but it is be- ing largely supplanted by those made of platinum or platinoid "white gold." The latter is a secret trade alloy of precious metals.
Anniversary Days. Women who are still sentimental make the remodelling process the occasion of the wedding day an-
niversary to celebrate the tenth or 20th year of marriage,
They will have messages given by their husbands inscribed inside the ring, after the fashion of the old Queen Anne posy rings..
Another feature of the ultra- modern ring is to engrave it out side with a faint decorative design, such as a wreath of orange leaves, The manageress of a Piccadily establishment, asked if ghe thought this new attitude on the part of women to their rings was symptomatic of the age, replied:
"I think girls to-day treasure their marriage tokens quite as much as those of the past age, but they are less conservative than their mothers."

A dispute as to the lawn tennis ball to be used at the Davis Cup and Wightman Cup competitions came before Mr. Justice Luxmore in the Chancery Division.

Offer to Newspaper.
The book was offered to a provincial newspaper for serial publication, but an assurance was asked for that it had been com in-piled from Sir Bernard Splisbury's case books and had his full ap- proval.
Our Shanghai correspondent timates that the Hongkong captain was caught off the second ball sent down to him, but that the decision was an unpopular one as the ball seemed to have been caught off the batsman's foot.
No such assurance was given, and Sir Bernard Spilsbury dented that he had authorised the pre- paration of the book,
