! Distinguished Young Lady

Two weeks ago Miss Ruth Page,
daughter of DR.. L E and Mrs. Ma
rian Page, Indianapolis, was very
pleasant visitor to relatives in this
place, her fathers old home. Miss
Page is an artistic dancer, and has
charmed audiences in New York,
Chicago, Toledo, cities in South
America, London, England, and
other cities across the waters. She IS
only about twenty years of age, per.
feet in form, possessing all the graces
that come to refund young lady, and
perhaps has received more compli-
mentS from the press than any other
artist OF her age in this or any
foreign countries. She dances as
much for what she gets out of it in
physical culture, as she does to please
her admirers. Her mother, a charm
ing woman, is with her in all her en-
gagements.
She was recently abroad and while
in London she was the attraction at
the Coliseum. In speaking of her the
Daily London Mirror says: The but
terfly dance performed by pretty and
youthful Ruth Page is the finest thing
of its kind we have seen, and this
young lady should have a great future
awaiting her." The London Mail
says, Nineteen year old Ruth Page,
the wonderful dancer, is most supple
and alluring persons. The New
York Evening Sun says: Ruth Page,
the pretty youngster who was the
memorable Infanta, was delicioun in
Bal Masque pantomine and proved her
spiritual right to the batik and wings
of a butterfly"
There are many other notices from
leading papers just as complimentary
as the above.

A suggestion.

One of our most prominent citizens
has expressed himself as being in favor
of a municipal board composed entire
ly Of women. He says that compe-
tent board could be easily selected,
and that if the town would elect wo-
men to this position, they would take
more interest in. the affairs of the
town, and besides they would have
more time to devote to the necessary
Improvements, and that they would
take pride in their duties. Further
more, men who are elected to the
municipal board accept the position
very reluctantly, hence they do not
have the proper interest. What do
you think of the move?
