A RAG SOCIETY QUEEN.

Miss Ruth G. Thompson's Series of Un-
broken Successes.
Miss Ruth Cleveland Thompson is
spending few weeks with friends in the
city.
The above announcement would see m
very common place were 1t not for the
familiar sound Of the first part OF her
name. To a casual reader IL would appear
land attached could be the object OF at
traction from society, not having spent a
sufficient number Of years on this earth,
unless the name was one OF
those Condolences which occasion
ally occur. For the edidcation
of the puzzled ones 1t may be stated
that the young lady was named for Miss
Ruth Cleveland, daughter of Grover
Cleveland, Gray Gables, Buzzards Bay:
Not only that. but she is young lady OF
about ~ summers and her success in So
ciety the present season as been very de-
cided.
Perley of Norwood, Mass. was one of
the most popular yolng men e1a 10 the the v,o,a
year his mother sent him the rag doll he
played with when a child. His college
friends thought 1t good joke, and 1t was
soon known to all his acquaintances,
and a reception was planned for Miss
Ruth Cleveland thompson, VINO nau pre-
viously had no name at all.
This reception was but the beginning
of a long series of society events In her
honor and she became quite the rage, or,
perhaps it should be quite the fad.
Miss Thompson IL at present visiting at
the home of Miss Alice Of Providence,
and her engagements are so numerous
when she goes to Newport for the
elimination of her triumphs. She
travels alone, by express, and has,
= trunk full of wearing apparel. Her
young lady friends are always planning
and making new dresses for her, and each
time she takes her departure from the
home Of friends larger box than the one
she came in is necessary Her short stay
In PROVIDENCE will be marked by = num-
Der of social events, when friends OF her
relatives will try to make her feel that
she IL very welcome.
