Ruth Adeline White

I went on a junk hunt the other day and found this scrapbook.. it seems that ruth adeline white of boston mass, tried to make it as a model. the pics look a bit shall I say riskay??(spelling?) she did make it as july 1937 blonde of the month because there is a letter in the scrapbook from The Charles Marchand Co inviting her to new York city. The letter tells her that a room has been reserved in her name at the Hotel Astor. It tells her what train to take into the city, what the weather is like and what to bring with her. Quite a time in her life I am sure..
 
here is the outside of the scrapbook.
 
here are a few of the pics of ruth.. as I read on I think she may have gotten married and published some poems as there are articles under the name ruth mason. I have this scrapbook listed in my etsy shop http://plumkrazy.etsy.com   here is a pic of the letter they sent her telling her she won the blonde of the month contest 1937
 
this was a great find.. the book is in pretty good shape and has quite a few articles that she didn't get around to pasteing in..  I hope ruth had a good life.
