Women who try to cultivate charm.. appear gushing, Insincere. I do not know many men who "gush.""

But, surely, charm is more important to women. Without charm they are dull and aloof.

It is partly being keenly interested in other people. To listen to them talking about themselves without looking for be Ing) bored.

Wedding Ring Is Barometer Of Our Times

NEW YORK.

J

The wedding ring.

Buys O. M. Rosen, is a sure barometer of our times.

Resen, whose jewellery firm makes wedding circlets of all kinds, said that when people start tightening their money belts, wedding rings are the first to show the effects. They get simpler and less ex- pensive.

However, he said, "let money flow freely.... as it seems to be now,...and wedding rings get more elaborate. Right now, our fancy-engraved jobs ore in top demand."

"Put us in a war," the ringmakker added, "and Everybody getting married seems to want a double-ring ceremony. At least the brides do."

JUST A REMINDER

He thought maybe during wartime women like to have their husbanda, away from home, constantly reminded that they are tled to the one-and-only.

Resen nid ring designs get more sentimental during a war, One of his best sellers in World War II was a fancy palladium Job with tho words, "I love you," engraved on the circlet.

"Sailors bought them by the thousands," he said,

Another wartime favourite is a band made either in palladium, gold or platinum. Minia- ture plaques around the band carry the inscrip- lion, thee wed."

Right now, Resen said, bridegrooms favour either of two designs. One features a heart, pierced by an arrow, and set on a wide band. It's called "Love on the wing." The other, more elaborate one, has wedding bells framed by orange blossoms. The frame is of gold, the de- sign of palladium.

PLEDGE RENEWED

Growing in popularity, Resan said, is the "re-pledge ring with service stripes." It's the ring a husband gives the missus to show that even after five or ten years of marriage he still loves her. I's design is a series of diamond- studded strips set on a plain band. The number of strips, or stripes, depends on the number of years of marriage.

Resen said there are two sections of the country where he can't sell ornate wedding bands, either to men or women. One is New England, the other the deep south,

But, he added, the more elaborate the de- sign, the bettor it seems to please the men of the southwest and the far west. One popular number is multi-facoled with palladium-sel dia- monds sprinkled around. Another bursta forth with bouquets of rubles.-United Press.
