NO WEDDING RING
“OLD-FASHIONED,' 1 SAYS BRIDE. BLOW FOR MRS. GRUNDY, Mother Grundy, who in recent years has had her feelings fearfully lacerated by the modern maiden with her short skirts and low-necked blouses, daring bathing costumes, bobbed hair, cocktails, and cigarettes, has been called upon to bear another heavy blow. Recently, a charming bride, with her handsome bridegroom, walked into a London West End registry office, and asked the registrar to make them man and wife without following the ageold custom of placing a golden ring on the bride’s finger. “We are modern, and wedding r rings are so terribly old-fashion-ed, so I do not want one,” she said, smilingly, after the vows had been completed, and the regv istrar waited for the best man to hand the ring over. It took a few moments for the official to recover from the shock, but he was forced to admit that the absence ot the ring did not invalidate the marriage.
