Mrs. w. W,/Graves, wife of Su-
preme Court Judge w. w. Graves is
most popular member of our official

Germany and her mothers family

combines to very noticeable degree
the sturdy, wholesome qualities Of the
Teuton and the gentle charm of our
southland. Oakborough, the home
of Judge and Mrs. Graves, just south
of the city, is noted for it's charming,
unaffected hospitality. Mrs. Graves
is secretary of the board of managers
for the colony Of predetermined at
Marshall, Mo-, a member of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, of the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, president of the Tues
day club and a.member of the Pres
byterian church Of this city. She is
interested in broad charities and also
in the daily lifting of small burdens
and the bestowal of general kind
ness and encouragement upon all who
cross her path. Socially, Mrs. Graves
is very popular, both as a hostess and
as a guest. She is the mother of
three sturdy, promising sons-Lud-
wick the eldest, in his finishing year
at William Jewell College; Waller, the
second son, just finishing the high
school course in this city, and John
Lafayette, the youngest still in the
grades. Mrs. Graves has broad &C.
quaintance throughout the state, her
strong mentality, her gentle kindness
and sympathy and her genuine hospi-
tality being the admiration of all who
know her.-Capital City News.
