_The Ring Finger._--Having observed various remarks on the ring finger
in your last volume, I shall be much obliged if you can give me any
information on the subject. As a lady of my acquaintance has had the
misfortune to lose that finger, it has been said that she cannot be
legally married in the Church of England in consequence, and had better,
if ever solicited, cross the border to Scotland to make the marriage
binding.
