One Incident oberrved during the
early part at OWteQnae week per-
MMs In coming into our thoughts.
Two weft dressed ladles,; evidently
acquainted with what generally Is
regarded as the better social
stratum, came Into a store end one
at them removed the wedding ring
from h r finger. She first wanted to
pawn it. and when Informed that
the merchant was not a pawn brok-
er she tried to sell It as old gold.

cpHERE was a tragedy there—one
of hundreds, perhaps. In Brown-
wood at the momenta and we can’t
avoid wondering about. A broken
i?, maybe, and a determina-
forget the man who had
the ring and placed It upon
her finger; or cruel necessity, the
desperate need for a dollar or two
with which to buy trnikets for a
xAaby. Wedding rings are difficult
vesunr-ni*. They cost relatively
^nttl? when purchased, but can not
be successfully sow or pawned, and
the upkeep charges sometimes are
positively terrific.
One newly married coup!' gave
the New Deal a jolt the other day.
They called at the business office of _
this great Democratic journal on the ^ tn*^
day following their wedding, and
Inquired as to ths availability of a
copy of the paper containing an an-
nouncement of their conjugal ad-
venture. “How much is It worth?”
the groom asked. “Five cents." was
to arrange a definite date.?
