The Rose

0.0 x 0.0

23" high x 15" wide x 13" deep bronze sculpture A sophisticated beautiful woman regards her surroundings. Notice the rose corsage on her shoulder and the elaborate earrings and necklace set. "The Rose" - Rose appeared like a dream at the debutante ball. She was a picture of perfection in every way. Her hair was just "so", her make-up had been professionally done, and she was wearing an original designer gown. All the boys were lined up anxiously waiting for her to glance at any one of them so they could sign her dance card. The music began and the couples began drifting towards the dance floor. Rose couldn't make up her mind, who to select for the first dance. Then off in the distance an alarm bell rang. It got louder and louder and the ballroom faded from her "mind's eye". The dance music was replaced by her mother's voice shouting, "Get up, you'll be late for school". "Oh, well" she thought, "Tonight I can find out who took the first dance."
