TOO BUSY ENJOYING LIFE TO FEEL YEARS Young at Three-Score-Ten Are These Joyous Pilgrims Who Refuse to Let Brooding, Envious Time Encroach on Their Days By WINIFRED BLACK Mrs Oscar Straus has Just come home from a big game hunt in Africa. She narrowly escaped death by being trampled by a herd of elephants. And one nice hot day in the jungle a rhinoceros, he was oh? ever so ugly, tried to see how it would feel to kill an Amer ican woman. All this is not particularly interesitng until you realize that Mrs. Straus is 68 years old, and in the very best of health and spirits, thank you. Nice woman. Mrs. Straus. She doesn't bother much with beauty parlors to look young—she is young—and that's that. I’ve heard a lot about her and I've never seen her in m.v life, but I'm willing to wager she likes children and dogs, butterflies, birds and trees and water falls*-and tree toads, calling in the twilight, and the sound of bells ringing across the distant valley—and bacon and eggs, and a good strong pot of coffee clear and brown, waffles and honey in the comb and little cozy poems about home and fire light. and old songs. Oh. I'll warrant the woman who went to Africa at 68 to hunt wild game—loves WINIFRED BLACK and enjoys everything there is in the world to love and enjoy. She lived in Turkey for years and she loved that; she loves Broad way and the bright lights, and she loves the deep quiet of the country, too. Life is. to a woman like that. Just a great crystal bowl full of living and she drinks it from the brim to the bottom, every drop, good and bad. beautuui and ugly, joyous and sad—that's what keeps her young. It takes time to grow old. brood ing time, envious time, scheming time and Mrs. Straus has no place in her life for any of these things. I know a man out In California. He’s 76 years old and he's buying a new airplane and he's running it himself. And you ought to see him hop into his car and make 480 miles in a day. traffic cops or no traffic cops. He leads a band and he com poses music and he writes arith metic and books of law—he can make the best baking powder bis cuits in the world, and half the boys in the county call him Uncle and half the girls too. for that mat ter. He looks a lusty fifty and not a day over. How can he grow old— he hasn’t time. Here’s to you brave hearts and light. Here's to you, you Joyous pil grims, the world will be a sad old place indeed when you and those like you are out of the fashion probably will reside most of the summer. Mrs. J. E. Glenn and children will spend most of the summer at Kerr ville where they were accompanied Saturday by Mf. Glenn. Lou Jane Glenn will attend summer school at Schreiner’s. W. B.
