ID UTH is short and attractive
N name. It is one OF the most
prominent feminine names IN the Bible
and is Of ancient Hebrew origin.
There ere several different meanings
suggested for Ruth, but the one gen.
srAily accepted is friend" Others
have suggested 1t was q stmpiifsd
version Of "renth," Hebrew for
beauty" and stiii others have con-
sidered the word to be Synonymous
with "fear." The Germans are said
to claim that Ruth means woman Of
contentment."
The flower for Ruth is the nous
tonia, more commonly known az tnS

The various nations all use the one
form Of Ruth and, oddly enough, the
name fs not at all popular generatiy

Slavic nation thought so much Of the
story Of the original biblical Ruth
that II honored her memory by adopt

the Ruthenian nation and they are
EsReSsiiy agricultural. thus carrying
out IA their occupations the same
work that was Ruth's in her time. One
OF the most popular paintings of the
biblical heroine shows her gather
ing up the sheaves in a sunny field.
Thts original Ruth was sweet,
medest maiden OF the Moabite nation:
She was the daughter-in-law Of
Naomf, who was also her greatest
friend. After the death of NaomPs
son, husband to Ruth, the young
widsxr accompanied Naomi wherever
she want until, in Bethlehem, Ruth
met aad loved Boaz,. whom she mar
sried with the consent of Naomi
King David the Great was one OF
her descendants from this second
marriage Ruth lived In the fourth
century B. C.

for Ruth, and that II Ruthy. 1t is
