■8? LITERARY FORTUNE’S FICKLE WHEEL Clara Louise Jenkins PART I. “Mother! the dress is here!” cried an excited voice, whose owner danced around a table and then sped up the stairs to find someone who could share her joy. “Cindy, dearest,” this laughingly from Mother, for she knew it was useless, “If you don’t sit down, you will be so tired before it’s all over. Lor tonight was Cynthia’s first real dance, and although, at times, sixteen seems ages older than sixty, there are other times when it is just plain sixteen, caring little if it never grows up. “I won’t be a ‘Cinders’ any more—they can’t call me that now, can they, Mother?” asked Cynthia as she carefully and tenderly lifted the dress from its bed of white tissue paper. The day finally wore away and Cynthia was ready, with twenty minutes to spare, for the party. She gazed ador- ingly at her reflection. The little silver slippers—she couldn’t have lived with- out them! And the dress—so pale and filmy. Who was she? Could anything so fairy-like clothe dull humanity? Hu- manity, yes—but dull? Never! At least, never at sixteen, with one’s world so full of love and happiness. Cynthia's program was full and she danced each dance as though it were the only one. There were Japanese lanterns in the gardens and on the terrace and, too happy to speak, she wandered be- neath their pale light. Come on, Cindy, it’s your turn!”cried someone, as she walked toward a laugh- ing group. Fortunes were being told and Cynthia laughingly surrendered her palm. “Ah, said the gypsy, “You have a strange hand—very strange. Adventure is written upon it—and marriage. You will marry for love, fair lady—true love!” Cynthia slept lightly the few hours that were left of the night. Through her dreams ran the words—“You will marry for love—true love! PART II. Commencement. Cynthia was gradu- ating from college. Four short years of glorious adventure. Almost too short to be true. And yet she was glad, for she wanted to get away. There was so much to do everywhere—so much to conquer. I ler goal was India—as a medical mis- sionary. There had been so many affairs the last year. Cynthia was tired of it all. 1 ler life was going to be so full, she would have no time for people, except disinter- estedly, of course, or her own small likes and dislikes. Tomorrow the family was driving Cynthia home. Two weeks since Cynthia’s last day at school. She lay in a cool, dark room, in a hospital, unable to think clearly. The pale, still faces of Mother and Dad arose before her continually. And Bobbie’s weak, frightened moan sounded in her ears. When she had regained con- sciousness, they told her that Bobby was safe. They had not needed to tell her that Mother and Dad were already in the Great Beyond. 25
