II is a modification Of articles 40 and

state. She inclines toward practical
charity and does much in aid of So
cieties of this character. Personally,
she is gracious, lovable character,
and the wife of no governor has ever
been more popular with the people of
Des Moines than she. 1t has been the
practice of Governor Shaw to submit
to her political questions personal to
himself and to be guided by her adj
vice. She appears to be purely do
nestle woman. and yet, according to
the public admissions of Governor
Shaw, she has much to do with the
advancing of his political fortunes.
The Shaw family consists of two
daughters-Enid, aged 81; Erma, aged
16-and a son, Earl, aged IS. Enid
entered society toward the end Of
her fathers first term as governor.
She has one more year in Cornell col

arrangements were made for the re-
turn of the family to their home on

term; and Earl is attending a military
