U. of this city have started a crusade to compel a married man to wear a Wedding ring as does bis wife, and many of the prominent men and women of Denver have expressed themselves in speeches and through tlie newspapers on the subject.. ' ,' . i Mrs. Charles MacAlllster Wilcox. on of the leaders of society, . has this to say "I think all married men should wear" wedding rings... - Why shouldn't tljey? Don't you think the average, man would raise serious objections If he dis covered that his wife had discarded the band of gold, which proclaims to the world her status as a wife? " ' - ' , There Wast.a Season. Tou know the wearing of wedding rings, by ? married .women has gone through a process of evolution-, It origi nated in, the ancient harsn aays in Rome when the man was the sole head of the household and his wife and chil dren were, his slaves and chattels. Tne Roman husband put the band of iron on his wife's finger, as a token or badge of -hep servitude." Rev, Father William O'Ryan, one or the most prominent of the Cathollo clergy, said: "By all .means(fI should think that no married man ought to be ashamed of proclaiming his condition. His pride in-his wife and In his home and In his children should be shown in the' same way that hls wife testifies her pride In occupying the dignified posi tion of a married woman." ( Rt Wears One. -,- - "Do I ttilnk married men should wear weddirig rings?" repeated Rabbi William S. Friedman. "This looks rather as If I do," he said, holding up his left hand with a smile, exhibit ing a neat golden Dana on tne imra finger, after the most approved- fash ion.. "Tou see. I wear one myseir. i am Just as glad and proud to be the husband of Mrs. Friedman as she could possibly be to occupy the position of my wife.
