WHERE WAS THE RING?
Sir,--is if not customary for a married woman never to remove her wedding ring, even when bathing the baby? At any rate, the infant in your advt, ‘was in bed and apparently asleep, so the ring should by that time have been replaced on her finger. Do not reply by saying that she has not had time to do so, because she would have been better employed doing so, instead of gazing soulfully into space. : You have roused my curiosity as to whether there are any married women (inquiries among my friends resulted in negative answers), who remove their wedding rings when bathing the baby or putting their hands into water. Of course, if they have other reasons for removing the ring, that is another matter.

P.S.-I was not on the look-out for faults, but with the woman’s hand in such a position, the omission struck me forcibly as soon as I opened that page.
