A MEAN TRICK.
A mean trick at the expense of a Masterton jeweller is said to have been performed by a smart young bridegroom. He was on the eve of getting married by the registrar, and he wished to spend as little as possible over the ceremony. that a ring was necessary, he introduced the blushing bride to the jeweller, but no ring could be found to fit. The jeweller thereupon said he would make a ring and keeper to measmre. In due time the young man called for the articles, and, being supplied, said he would see whether they fitted accurately. A few hours later the couple were married, and the rings having done duty for the occasion were politely handed back to the jeweller with the intimation that they did not suit, and the expense was more than the bridegroom found he could afford. The jeweller declares he will not be readily had in the same way again, and he is contemplating the feasibility for the future of letting ent wedding rings bn hire..
