New Romances #10

This anthology issue contains at least two stories. "Ring Around Romance" explores the historical and cultural significance of engagement and wedding rings, explaining how a ring worn on the pinky in ancient Europe indicated the wearer was not ready to marry, while those on the third finger signified engagement, and tracing how modern wedding bands evolved from these traditions. A second story involves a woman named Peggy and a man named Ralph, where Peggy becomes upset after Ralph kisses her and reveals he's been seeing her while harboring feelings for someone else—specifically mentioning a "French marquis" and a picture he purchased, leading to romantic complications and misunderstandings between the couple.
