The dinner party which Mrs. w. R.
Stubbs will give tonight at the Cover
nors House. will be for the family,
relatives, and a few other out of town
guests. 1t will be an informal affair
III honOr. of Governor StubbS, whose in
auguration to his second term of Of
nee, is an event of today. The guests
besides the members of the family, will
pc. GOVcnor StubbS' parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John t. Stubbs, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
70. Stubs, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. ]. Eddy,
all of Lawrence, Mr.. and Mrs. Upton
Cox and Mr. Tom Blodgett of Wichita.
Immediately after the dinner the gov
ernor and his family and their guests,
will go to the state house for the in
augural reception.
the legislators will arrive this week,
and while their business here is not Of
concern to society Except that portion
OF 1t interested in getting suffrage bill
through the SESSION. still the advent
of the families of the lawmakers, will
insure some social activity. 1t has been
suggested that number of the society
women who expect to be at home one
afternoon of the week to the visitors,
select the same day, so that the Wo-
men can make a round of calls in one
afternoon. This seems to be a practl-
cal suggestion, and in keeping with the
idea, Mrs. w. A. Johnston and Mrs.
Charles Curtis have both chosen Fiji
day for their at home days, and Will
receive from three to six Friday af-
ternoon of each week.
Mrs. Stubs has had the first ana
third Saturdays of the month for her
receiving days throughout the winter
and Saturday, January 81, instead OF
her customary informal lat home" she
will give a formal reception for the
wives of the legislators, and Will be
assisted by the wives of the newly ap-
pointed state officers.
The last thing I remember of speak
ing about before the paper went TO
press Saturday, was the charity baIl'
and it is the first thing that is brought
to my attention this morning. This is
because it is the all absorbing interest
of society people this week, and It's
plans and it's success seem to be the
proper subject for discussion. If there
are two or three people in town who
are not interested in this big brilliant
party, those few will overlook our ire
quent reference to it.
A special feature of the ball will be
some solo dances by Miss Ruth Dlns-
more. During the evening there are
to be two intermissions on the pro-
gram, and Miss Dinsmore will then
give her dances. The first of these is
to be a Spanish dance, called The Rose
of Mexico" and is a dance which Miss
DinsmOre learned from a Spanish wo-
man who visited the studio where she
ance will probably be a maZurka of her
own composition. For the second inter-
mission she has chosen the Faust waltz
for her number, and as a short encore
dance 1.-The VIII O. the Wisp."
