Mr.. and Mrs. Stubs recently built n
new house in Lawrence which is one
of the largest and most notable in the
state. 1t is situated on the site of the
famous old windmill in West Law
renee, an historic landmark of the
most interesting town, historically, in
Kansas, and which burned down a few
years ago. The house and grounds are
unusually beautiful and while Mr..
Stubs has been too busy with political
interests since they occupied this new
place to permit them to do any ex-
tensive entertaining, they keep open
house for all their friends and their
home is characterized by the most de-
lightful hospitality.

about Mrs. Stubbs,'' said Topeka wo-

husband is one of Mr.. Stubs strong
est supporters, and from whom the S.
r. secured this information. Between
