WEDDING RINGS
WHITE METAL FOR GEftMNS BERLIN, October 28. “Substitute” wedding rings tor German brides are the latest device suggested by Germany’s lack of gold and foreign exchange. . A white alloy has been produced which, it is maintained, may be regarded as a “ 100 per cent, substitute for gold.” This alloy is as lasting ,as the best gold, and makers hope the rings may be made fashionable by patriotic autumn brides. . A recent attempt to introduce amber for wedding rings proved a failure. The conservative German woman does not feel herself properly' married without a gold ring on the third finger, of her right hand. , In Germany the same ring serves both for the engagement and the Wedding.’ Before marriage it,is worn on the third finger of the left hand, as in England, and is subsequently transferred to the right.
