DAD USED TO SAY that Mom was a "high stepper." I loved to watch her get ready for "Saturnights," Mom & Dad's dance club, which gathered every other Saturday night (naturally) in the penthouse ballroom of the old Fontenelle Hotel. Fresh and clean-smelling from her bath, she'd slip into one of her elegant evening gowns. She wore pearls sometimes, depending on the dress... earrings always... and she would dab Shalimar on her throat and wrists. |
A woman dancing the Charleston at the Folies Bergère, Paris, 1926 |
Sometimes, when I'm alone in my apartment, the scent of Shalimar drifts by. The Charleston was passé by the time Mom and Dad started Saturnights. Now and then, though, if we begged, Mom would do some pretty slick Charleston moves for us. Mom and Dad died a long time ago, and we still miss them as much as ever. Now I give Mother's Day cards to My Favorite Moms— sister, daughter, daughters-in-law, nieces — and Father's Day cards to my sons, brother-in-law, son-in-law, nephew, and a few other terrific guys I know. God bless mothers and fathers everywhere -- never perfect, but always doing the best they can! |
