It's an old colonial custom, and be- cause of it pretty little Miss Marion Fair- fax, 13-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. H. R. Fairfax of this city, is the possessor of the silver-inlaid gold ring studded with 13 diamonds. George Washington designed the ring for his haif-brother Lawrence, the family story goes.

Thus down the generations the Fair- fax ring has passed hands on the day the Fairfax girls replaced it with another’s. Tradition has it that one Mistress Fairfax wore the ring for 30 years, but firially said “yes.” Miss Alice Fairfax, 22, of Paris, Tex., wore the ring until 8 few weeks ago, Then she went the way of the fair Fairfaxes. She tock Sam Stone of Oak Park, Ill, and little Miss Marion of Brookhaven took the ring. Since Marion is only 13, she expects to flaunt the 13 diamonds for a goodly number | of years, in which time she hopes that she can wear it on the ring finger in- stead of the forefinger, which is the only one large enough to hold it now. & ~ ~ Mirror for PLATE GLASS MIRRORS 52.95 to $20 o 1 i i i W i o i 1 ; ! § : H : £ ! : I ROP s Wool-and-Rayon Prints | 85C yard Gifts for Bridge Devot_ee Medallion Cards Discontinued Styles— Two Packs for signs—gilt edged. 78cC Fine quality linen-finished playing cards.
