When the curtain of old age descends and my life as Mauree- begins to fade, I will have the many photographs to relive the hours of glory, a stock of fulfilling and pleasant memories to savor, and the satisfaction of preserving and building a marriage that gave us much happiness together and enabled our children to grow up in an at- mosphere of love, stability and security.

And then, when perhaps I will no longer have the strength for a public life as Maureen in the evening of my memory I can relive the twinkling adventures in the ballroom of fantasy . . . and dance till dawn in my gossamer gown of pink and never grow tired.

Life is the soul's nursery, its training place for the destinies of eternity. And when I cross the river I want no haunting regrets of a home wrecked by my selfishness in an unreasonable pursuit of an im- possible dream, no remorse over a wife left to the numbing loneliness of divorce, no sad memories of children warped by my gender dif- ficulties.

And on the other side, I believe there will be far greater joy than anything I have ever known in this life, even for that part of me that is Maureen; " no mere man has ever seen, heard or even imagined what wonderful things God has ready for those who love the Lord . . . (I Corinthians 2:9, Living Bible translation)."

TEE-VEE TIPS

To reduce somewhat the utter confusion in your jewel box often caused when several strings of beads or necklaces become intimately entwined with several pairs of earrings, take a few seconds to drop the two earrings in each pair and their matching necklace into a small plastic bag. A small bag takes less space in your jewel chest than does a plastic box. The little bags are equipped with a "Ziploc" top closure to seal them, and they're available at many hobby shops for a few cents a dozen.
