When the fire dies away. Esther, in n long white gown, stands in front of un altar. By her side is Romeo Lawrence Stafford. I see someone in the pew say inn that Esther has waited ten long years for Lawrence to finish hia doctorate degree. The conversation continues and I understand that the bride and groom will live in Hawaii, where the groom will start teaching In a school for the deaf. Now the ceremony seems to be over and the newly wadded couple walk quietly admiring each other out of the church door. Once more the picture blurs and then clear . Rosalie Taggart is teaching her reading class. She has kept her word. My! She looks n lot younger and thinner. She is the youngest teacher of the California School for the I leaf. As soon as school is dismissed, Rosalie hurries out to the car where her husband, “The Man I Love,” is waiting. In the back scat is a cute pair of twin with long golden curls about three years old. The car rolls away to their white bungalow home with u white fence around the four acres of land. They have an outdoor swimming pool. Rosalie's husband is the owner of a large automobile factory. Her life seems to Ik n success. I don’t need to know more so I close my eyes. The minute I open my eyes I see another classmate. This time it is John. He is my old King of the Junior Prom. He is ull grease from head to foot and is just crawling from under u new 1957 Buick. It is clear thnt he is a garage mechanic. He is looking at his watch and looks as if he is late for something. A blur—and then he is home to his pretty young wife, who seems to be Athlecn, a good friend of mine. Both hurry out to a basketball game in which John is supposed to play. His team is losing hut when John begins to play things change and the game is won by two points which he makes in a half minute. He is the hero and looks at pretty young Mrs. John Ralowicz with pride. The crystal ball whirls and stops. A red haired girl is sweeping the floor of a shoe repair shop. When she lifts her head, I know it is Evelyn Hageman with her beautiful auburn hair. Her husband is cleaning his machinery. As soon as both are done, more customers come in. Evelyn or maybe 1 should say, Mrs. Keith Richardson. looks displeased because she fears Keith will give up their plans and set at once to work. In n short time the job is done. Evelyn and Keith go to the best night club in St. Paul where they live. Seeing them dunce through the ball so gracefully would beggar description. I began to wonder who is coming into focus now. She is busy in her office typing and the name card on her desk reads, Miss Ik rothy Fuller”. SO she is still looking for the perfect man! Well, she is a secretary for an atomic energy scientist. She has sworn not to tell the seerrt. She is living a dangerous life and Iihs been given permission to carry a gun. Tap, Tap, Click, Click, goes the typewriter and the picture is foggy again. A noise in the room startles me. 1 look up! A dark gypsy stands smiling before me. As for my future life. I'll leave it to tin gypsy. —Lorraine Kuhiak 28
