The LITTLE LIGHT IN THE CENTER OF THE OIAL HAS TURNEO FROM YELLOW TO A BRIGHT ORANGE; THE MACHINE IS BEGINNING TO HUM. I 1LL TURN THE SEAROHER BUTTON AND TRY TO LOCATE SOME OF MY OLO SCHOOLMATES. I SEE RACING LANDSCAPES. Ah, THE PICTURES ON THE SCREEN ARE MOVING MORE SLOWLY. Now TH E Y VE STOPPED ENT I RELY • I SEE A LITTLE SHELL OlL TOWN IN CALIFORNIA. Who is the little housewife I see? Goodness me. I s our own Eunice Trapp who is now Mrs. E. L. Briscoe, formerly of Sherioan, Texas. I also see THREE LITTLE CHILDREN FOLLOWING EUNICE AR0UN0 THE HOUSE DEMANDING MAMMA, WE WANT SOME OANDY . The little boy has dark reo ha, ANO THE TWIN GIRLS HAO AUBURN HAIR. The scene moves on to a ranoh. There’s the sign--- Bar-X-Ranoh . Who could have prospered so? Wait, I see someone walking out of the door toward a limousine. She’s oarryino some papers. Maybe I oan get a glimpse of them. Oh yes, it’s CLEARER NOW. The BOLD LETTERING ON THE PAPERS INDICATES THAT THE 8EARER IS JEANNIE WAOOELL ON THE WAY TO HER POSITION AS HEAD SECRETARY IN THE STOCK YAROS IN DENVER, COLORADO. ShE IS STILL UNMARRIED, BUT I 8EE PROSPEOTS OF A HUSBANO SOON, FOR AMONG THE PAPERS ARE SEVERAL LETTERS WITH THE INITIALS C. L. M. ON THE RETURN AOORESS. Again there is a slur as various settings FLASH BY. When THE NEW LOCATION, AN OLD FAMILIAR TOWN, STEAOIES, I SEE LILLIAN LaGRANQE, OR RATHER Mrs. Jay Speck. Lillian ano Jay are living in Rock Islano where Jay is working for GeoroeBaker ON HIS RICE FARM. LlLLIAN SEEMS TO BE TERRI8LY upset. She just got word that her mother-in-law IS COMING TO VISIT THEM. THE FOUR OHILOREN ARE SO SPOILEO THAT SHE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THEM ANO THEY WILL PROBABLY RUN THE POOR MOTHER-IN-LAW aesp Hi .
