14-MAID UP

with his friend's wives.

The evening went pleasantly enough; one of his friends was admiring Gloria very much as he started flirting with her. But fortunately for John, the guests soon began to leave. The maid had cleared up everything and also left.

Then John faced a happy looking and smiling Mary. He had not seen her in such a good mood for a long time.

"How do you feel," asked Mary?

"Cheated," said John uncompromisingly. "How could you do such a thing to me?"

"Ever since I saw you in a pinafore in high-school, I have had it in the back of my mind that you would make a beautiful woman. Oh, I love you Jill!" And throwing her arms around his neck, she kissed him, as she had seldom done.

John was surprised, "What has gotten into you Mary?"

Mary had tears in her eyes and said, "I always wanted to see you like this." Her eyes shone with excitement. She looked happier than John had ever seen her. "Would you do me a really big, favor Jill?. Would you stay this way; it would make me so happy. I promise to be a good wife again, if you will wear what I say."

This hit John by surprise. Their marriage was slowly but surely going on the rocks and he would do anything to save it. But this was ridiculous. "What would people say?"

"Oh they don't have to know. We'll keep to ourselves like on

our honeymoon."

"Well, what about my office?."

"Oh, just take a vacation," replied Mary.

"OK," said John, finally, "If it means so much to you, for two weeks and not a day longer."

but only

Mary's eyes clouded over, but just for a moment. Then she said, "Oh darling, this will be wonderful! We will do the housework together, and go to the movies and shopping and we will take our boat out again, and I want us to sleep together again. I bought the most marvellous night-wear for you.'

John said; "Hold it! I thought we would stay by ourselves." "Of course not," said Mary. "Tonight you passed with flying colors. Nobody even thought for a moment that you were not a girl. It is really remarkable. Nobody will know, and we will have so much fun."

John sighed, "All right," slowly being convinced. Admitting to himself that he really did a good job of impersonation; almost too good. It was almost fun. But again the anxiety began growing deep inside about his experiences of the last 2 days: his narrow waist, wide hips, beautiful legs and soft facial features all made it TOO easy.

But Mary interrupted his thoughts saying, "Okay let's go to bed. They slept together that night for the first time in months.

The next morning John woke up refreshed and happy. He had slept better than he had over the last many months.

When he opened his eyes he saw that Mary was up already and busy and suddenly he felt the softness of his nylon nighty all over his body and he remembered his promise to Mary.

It did not seem like such a good idea in the light of morning, but then he remembered how wonderful it was last night, a peak of marital happiness, and he thought again that maybe he should go through with it if it could bring Mary and him together again. And after all, a promise is a promise.

Just then Mary came in, bearing a tray with breakfast, which she had not done since the first days after their honeymoon. "Good morning, sweet face!" I am ready with our plans for today and I have laid out the clothes for you also. This morning we will enjoy a quiet morning. You can mow the lawn if you like while I clean the house-or vice versa-if you prefer."

John smiled at this. "Alright dear, I'm game. You name it." "Good, rise and shine then."

John got up and washed and shaved himself very carefully. Coming back into the bedroom, he saw what he was to wear that morning. With his bra, slip and panties, Mary had given him a nice white sporty short sleeved, cotton blouse, with Peter Pan collar and a wide flaring, blue-denim skirt which zipped in the back. Just the thing for a morning in the garden.

John put them on and after Mary had applied his makeup he saw in the mirror a fresh, young looking female, with high pointing busts, a small waist, his bra barely showing through the slip and thin blouse. Mary gave him feminine moccasins to wear. "You don't have to wear stockings in the garden."

Mary had put on similar clothing but a different color and also looked very attractive. "I love you," said John, having resigned himself to two weeks of femininity.

Mary's eyes glittered with joy, "You see, it's not so bad, is it?" The wig made John's transformation complete again. Together they went downstairs looking for all the world like 2 attractive sisters. John went to the garage and started to mow the lawn. He thought, "Gee, these skirts are sure easier and airier." His slip felt soft against his knees and after some time, John had completely forgotten about his strange new dress.

That is until lunch, when Mary called him in. Handing him an apron, she said, "Okay dear, you fix lunch while I finish the lawn. Everything is 50/50 between girls, you know." After tying the apron on John, Mary went out and began mowing, leaving "Jill" with a "fait accompli".
