Merited Attention
The proprietor of the grocery
store had shown marked attention
to one Of his customers. He prac.
tlcally bowed to the man as he
departed from the store. Another
customer, a newcomer to the neigh
borhood, had witnessed the pro-
ceedings, and thinking that the
other man was some celebrity, re-
marked: Il noticed that you treat
ed your last customer with some
difference"
Yes replied the proprietor,
hes one of our early settlers"
HE doesn't appear to be over
40 to me-" further observed the
other.
Il think you're about right about
that answered the grocer, "but
he always takes care of his bill on

members, plays
By Gretchen Smith,

Two young" octogenarians stole
the show yesterday at the luncheon
meeting of the Soroptimist Club at
the Willard Hotel. One, a guest of
honor, the other a club member
frankly revealed they had passed
the "fourscore" mark in years and
were still carrying on strongly in
the interest of others.

thousands of servicemen as Moth
er" Steed of Washington's USO Club
No. l, thanked the Soroptomists for

center that cares for approximate
ly 1000 servicemen a day.

What it has meant to these many
thousands of men to have a place
to go on off-duty hours, get a cup
of coffee or have their service stripes
sewed on was described by Mrs.
Steed. You know, I speak the
language of the modern servicemar1,
although I am now 81 years old"
she said
Mrs. Steed asked continued sup
port for the USO Club as long as it
remains. She said she intended to
stay on as senior hostess as long as
the clubhouse exists.
Mrs. Steed was applauded when
she said, You know, am past the
age when one is ashamed to say
how old they are"
Mrs. Caroline Stephen, member of
the club and cofounder many years
ago of the Temple Secretarial
School, remarked, perhaps a bit en-
viously, to those at her table, She
may be 81, but am go" Then she
rose and thanked the club for its
Christmas contributions to the Chill

Lucy Howorth, a guest at Mrs
Stephens table, to remark: This
proves the fallacy of establishing an
age limit for ability to serve. People
should never be asked, how old are
you, but how alert are you?'"

title while serving as United States
commissioner for the southern dis
trict of Mississippi from 1927 to
1881, is a past president of the Busi-
ness and Professional Women's
Club of the District and is now with

approval of legal and industrial
rules limiting a womans ability to
work because of years.
Mrs. Stephen agreed with Mrs
Howorth that years bring expert
ence of value to any endeavor.

Although no longer active at the
Temple School, Mrs. Stephen still

Those having lamps will pass them
on to others"
