Rings are worn more generally this
winter than in many years, and women
are not obliged to cling so persistently
to gloves. In fact even at balls the wear
ing of gloves is optional. Rings are more
elaborate and showy than ever. The
most popular design Is a bulky diamond
affair that reaches from joint to joint,
while an Ingenious Parisian jeweler has
sent to this country one of the long rings
with hinges, covering almost the entire
finger. The use of the digit is not im
paired, because the hinge acts In accord
ance with the movements of the joints,
while the finger is one glittering mass.
Some fashionable women wear the wed
ing ring only, but the tendency now is
to smother this sentimental Jewel. in a
riot of diamonds. In some Instances
gloves have been silt at the seams to
displays rings. New York Press.
