Party To Charwomen
Winston Churchill. as a boy at
Harrow always was getting into
scrapes. Even today the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer. is fond of any-
thing out of the ordinary.
Mr. Churchill is one of the young-
est of British statesmen. having Just
celebrated his fifty-second birthday.
But his colleagues contend that he
will still enjoy a joke if no lives to
be a hundred. .
Mr, Churchill's latest “scrape" ro-
laics to ll. lot of elderly women whom
he met in the hallway leading to
his office. All carried little bags.
Wondering what delegation was cali-
lng upon him so early. Mr. Church-
ill‘s enquiry elicited the fact that
the crowd was made up of clmrwo.
men.
They did not want to see the
ChancellOr ot’ til-i Exchequer at all.
but were waiting for their pay. Mr.
Churchill decided to get better ac-t
qualnted with them. As the Christ-
mas spirit was in the offing. the
flat went forth that all those "nice.
old ladies." were to come into the
Chancellor's oillce at noon'the next
day. And they did. Mrs. Churchill
was there. too. to assist her husband
in looking after the guests of one of
the. strangest mealtime affairs Great
Britain had experienced.
