Easily Explained.—Herbert Spencersays that the gold ring now worn by married women is the sign of the iron ring that was worn about the neck or ankle in the olden times, and indicates the submission of the wearer. Herbert Spencer is an impracticable dreamer. The gold ring a woman wears now is simply indicative of the ring her husband must join in order to foot the bills. —St. Louis Republican.
