Photograph of Ruth Gordon at age four *Feature titled "The Sentimental Tale of a Dress" begins as follows: When Ruth Gordon Jones, of Wallaston, Massachusetts, was four and on her way to Sunday School one morning, dressed in her best dress (the white lawn with the drawn-work and the black velvet at the cuffs), her piano teacher stopped her and took her picture, on the front steps by the climbing nasturtiums. Someone saved the picture and here it is … with Miss Jones clutching her favorite novel, "Little Miss Boston".
