PREAMBLE TO TI-IE PROM Here i? was, Prom nigh? a? las?, and I'd never been so exci?ed in all my life. Mom had le? me have my hair se? in ?he beau?y parlor, and I had had my nails done, ?oo. Then when I go? home Mom and I had brushed my hair some more, ius? lor a li??le exlra gleam. Dad had said ?ha? I could pick ou? my own formal, bu? I had asked Mom ?o come wilh me and be?ween us, we had decided upon a shimmering silver lame gown ?ha? swished pleasanlly abou? my ankles when I walked. Dad said ?he? I looked like a moon- beam princess in il. Dad was swee?l My flowers had arrived. I? had been so ?hough??ul of Tommy ?o send orchids. These were my very firs? orchids, and you know wha? a girl's firs? orchids mean ?o her. Mom had jus? 'raken ?hem from ?he refrigeralor where we had carefully s?ored lhem ius? as soon as ?hey had been delivered. Dad s?ood in ?he doorway ol my bedroom beaming down a? Mom ancl me. He pu? his arm around Mom's wais?, and I'll swear I saw ?ears in her eyes. They bo?h looked so happy ?here, framed in ?he doorway. They looked so young wi?h ?ha? sor? of misly Iigh? in ?heir eyes. I imagine ?ha?'s how ?hey mus? have looked when ?hey were firs? married, young, as ?hey looked now, and so in love. I hummed a li??le song as I dabbed a? my nose, for wha? mus? have been ?he hundred?h ?ime, wi?h my fluffy pink powder pull. Jus? a li??Ie dab of perfume behind each ear-?here! I looked in ?he mirror scru?inizingly, and allhough I was ?ar from beau?i?ul, I hoped ?ha? maybe I looked jus? a li??le like Hedy Lamarr ?onigh?. You look lovely, dear, Mom said. I smiled a? her. The doorbell! Oh, gollyl l'll ge? i?l Jus? one las? look in ?he mirror and ?hen, 'Bye Mom, 'Bye Daddy. Oh, ?hanks, I will: I'll have a wonderful ?imel Goodbye again, angels! Down ?he s?airs I walked, slowly, carefully. I fel? like skipping, bu? couldn'? qui?e manage i? wi?h my long, swirling gown. I opened ?he door, and Tommy s?ood ?here looking wonderful, more handsome ?han I had ever seen him look, and oh, so manly in his lux. He look my hand and led me down ?he walk. His ?a?her had le? him have ?he car for ?onigh?. He pu? me snugly in and wen? around ?o ?he o?her side. He go? in, s?ar?ed ?he mo?or, and ?hen we were o??-off ?o a wonderful ?ime-of? ?o ?he Prom, and an evening we'd never lorgell Marilyn Smilh LIMERICK There once was a senior named Jack.
