14-SANDY THOMAS ADV.

P.O. Box 2309,

"Yes, dear," Mary said, "I want to but you an authentic woman's dress. Aren't you curious to know what it might feel like?"

"My dear, if dresses are as comfortable as my uniforms, but I don't see how," I replied, "but it seems like such a waste of money----I am really beginning to accumulate a feminine wardrobe."

"Darling," she replied, "I will buy all of the pretty feminine things you are willing to wear, so don't worry about accumulating a wardrobe. We really don't spend much on ourselves---and it's fun for us to play dress-up. Right?"

I again wore my uniform all day, and did not take it off till bed time. We stayed home all day. I fixed lunch and supper, then straightened up the house. After all the work was done, we just sat around and rested----enjoying my lovely uniform. This routine went on for several weeks, with me wearing first one uniform and then another.

"Do you like them?" she asked.

"Do I have to choose between them?" I implored. "They're both pretty!" I finally declared.

I tried them both on, but not until I had finished all of my housework. I tried on the sheath first, and then the shirtwaist dress.
