Midge Jeffers was in Japan she
managed 10 meet more people and
do more interesting things than
most people would accomplish In
eight years.
She even provided q Key West
Cookbook for the dining room ma
nager of the hotel where she lived.
Mrs. Jeffers was guest speaker
at the meeting of the Key West
Woman's Club Tuesday afternoon
and held her audience spellbound
with her account of her experiences
while living in Japan.
She found through her association
with group of young Japanese
students from all walks of life that
like most young people, the ia.
panese youth tends left"
She said that the more radical
thinkers among them were making
the same mistake that had been
made in other countries - that Of
believing that Communism will
work for u.s. and went on to say
that the more conservative young
people need encouragement and a
helping attitude"
"The young people in Japan do
not think the same as their IA
theirs and many times they said
to me, MY mother says we are
not to be like my father "
Mrs. Jeffers told members Of the
club that japanese women were
beginning to take their place in
public affairs and were taking their
new freedom and political respon-
sibility seriously.
I'VE should remember that Ja-
pan Is only hundred years from
fedudalism, and is still feudalistic
in many ways"
Japan, Mrs. Jeffers said, was
strictly "man's country" and
that until very recently the Japan
ese woman had very little social
life outside of her home.
Even the tea ceremony was ORR
ginany q male custom and that
even now there are many things
that the Japanese woman ''just
doesn't do"
She said that while living in
Tokyo was expensive for the
Westerner, as far as the Japanese
economy was concerned there was
great inflation."
"Our occupation in many ways
was hasty and the false stimula-
tion of American funds viii even
tually affect their national econo-
N.Y."
She said that most Of Japan's
natural markets were closed and
that there is a thriving black mar
ket with Red China, adding that as
far as the average Japanese citi.
zen was concerned it was almost
a life and death matter.
In a lighter vein, Mrs. LETTERS
told of visits to homes of Japanese
friends and of the difficulties .of
finding ones way around Tokyo.
Houses are numbered according
to the year they were built or the
number of houses in the neighbor-
hood at that time.
"Since there are only q few
through streets in Tokyo it is easy
to get completely lost in a maze
OF rambling Streets" she said.
Many of the newer better class
houses are strange combination
of East and West" - japanese
houses with the addition Of a West.
ern style room and plumbing.
AS long as the Westerner living
in Japan observes the custom Of
removing their shoes on entering
the house, she said, Japanese SER
wants viii keep it immaculate, but
it the custom is not observed they
soon give up and just quit clean
ing.
She said that she was disappoint-
ed in not finding more flowers in
Japan, and that except when the
cherry and apple trees were in
bloom, there were no masses of

Mrs. Lynn Looking
Forward to Future
Wife Of Retiring Architect Of CopitoI
Feels They Have q Full Life Aheod.
BY Ruth Deem

A visit with Mrs. David Lynn,
wife Of the retiring architect
Of the Capitol. is like going back
home.
After a few minutes conver-
sation with the charming Ken
tuckian, you feel you've known
her all your life.
Perhaps 1t Is her warm per-
sonality. her quick, expressive
way Of talking and her vivid
show Of interest in life whether
it Is now or so years ago.
When MIR. Lynn was inter-
viewed recently on his views Of
leaving behind him SO active
years on Capitol Hill. he told
a reporter: 'I've enjoyed every
minute Of It,"
He might have been speaking
for his wife as well. For with
him she shares a love for people
in all walks Of life and when
she looks back on her own life,
you know she means 1t when
she says. "I've had q lot Of fun" "
Daughter Of Representative
The daughter Of the late Rep
resentative South Trimble, who
was well liked by colleagues of
his day on both sides Of the
aisle, Mrs. Lynn first came to
Washington during the Taft adj
ministration.
The E-year-old Southern belle
and her family easily entered
into the busy and gay life of
the Capital, and soon won many
friends in ofiicialdom.
Mrs. Lynn especially remem-
bers President Taft as "such a
sweet, 1ovable sort of person"
The lively Miss Trimble had
Just rounded out her education
at several local finishing schools
and the Temple School for Sec
retaries-"mother and father
thought we ought to get the
practical side as WELL" she re-
called-when she met her future
husband. She was working in
her fathers Office In the Capitol,
when young David Lynn dropped
by to see Representative Trimble
one day. After a six-year court
ship. they were married.
Still the Some
That was SO years ago, but to
her it is as If it were yesterday.
''I still think he's the fine man I.
knew and married." she said.
"I've never heard him say q
mean thing about any one"
AS for the future. Mrs. Lynn
thinks they have just as full a
Evening star., 1954-08-19

life ahead Of them. She thinks
most people who get past middle
age make a mistake In thinking
the later years mean settling
down In a rocking chair.
''Of course in the early years
! was interested in the children, I"
she said, "but I think when
they're grown you ought to let
them live their own lives, and
just stand by to advise them II
they need YOU"
AS testimony to this philoso-
ply, the Lynn's have three fine
children, one a daughter, Mar
garet, now Mrs. Raymond L.
Gribben, and two sons, David
Lynn. ljr. and South Trimble
Lynn, who are now in business
for themselves with q local floor
ing firm.
To occupy her time. Mrs: Lynn
has several projects. Modern
electrical appliances have made
things easier for her, she thinks,
so she has more time for sewing,
cooking and following what she
calls another one of my fairs, !"
the stock market.
ReoI Stock Buyer
She likes the excitement Of
buying stock and watching it.
"Of course we'd always like to
have 1t on the upside" she said
with a laugh, but added no one
should buy stock unless they're
prepared to be as good a loser
as a winner. AFTER all, most
anything in life is a gamble, |"
she said. "You can't take 1t too
seriously"
Mrs. Lynn's liking for stocks
is a carryover from her love Of
horse racing. With true Ken
tucky pride, she says her love
OF horses and the sport that's in
1t II guess, is deep in my blood"
The Lynn's plan to remain in
Washington, in the same brick
Colonial house on tree-shaded
Quebec street that Mr.. Lynn de-
signed and had built in 1928. In
the back Is a secluded English
garden where the architect
spends his leisure moments tend
ing his vegetable and flower gar
denS.
But in the meantime, the
Lnn's will take a trip to Ber-
muda, leaving on August %.
Perhaps from force of habit.
Mrs. Lynn will say to him as
she has so often in the past,
Lets relax and have q good
time. When we come back the
(Capitoll dome will still be
there"
