the galley putting away the food, while Mary somehow had maneuvered into the captains station.

They spent a pleasant day on the boat. After a while Mary produced a swimming suit for John. It was a one piece very feminine suit, light green, with a 4 inch white pleated skirt, "for modesty's sake," as Mary expressed it. After putting it on, John felt surprisingly comfortable, as well as thrilled, with the way it flattered his figure, thanks to the wired bra. He enjoyed the rest of the afternoon sun-bathing in his lovely swimsuit.

After their pleasant day Mary said, "Let's have dinner at the yacht club tonight."

"No please, not that," protested John. "Too many people know us there and my secret is bound to come out."

But Mary insisted saying that many of his friends already met "Gloria" at the dinner party. She produced the same beautiful cocktail dress which John had worn the first night helped him dress. She repaired his makeup and combed his wig so that after some time he looked as adorable as he had that first night. Mary noticed with pleasure how well John had adjusted to his heels. Unless one knew for certain, anyone would say, "There go two extremely good looking girls."

John felt uncomfortable all night, however, and did not have much appetite. Several of his friends came over to their table asking Mary who the beautiful young lady was and John received compliment after compliment till Mary was blushing with pleasure, while John wanted to crawl under the table. John was glad when Mary finally agreed to leave.

They arrived home without incident and went to bed almost immediately.

When John woke up Monday morning, he saw that Mary was still sleeping. He arose and automatically went to his dresser to get his underpants. Just as he opened the drawer, Mary sat up and said, "Hold it dear! You're still a girl, remember? I will get your clothes for you while you shower.

As he came back into the bedroom, Mary gave him his undergarments-panties, bra, and slip. After John put the padding in his bra, she gave him a simple white cotton blouse, and a black slim skirt made of cotton sateen (similar to wet look), similar to what he had seen the waitresses wear in the restaurant. After Mary helped him zip the skirt up in the back, he noticed how this slim skirt accentuated his narrow waist and his wide hips. The waistband fit perfectly and the whole outfit felt comfortable. John mentioned this to Mary, who said, "It better be, because today is housecleaning day and we have a lot of work to do. It is about time that you find out how hard a woman has to work in the house and that it never seems to get done."

She then took a white apron out of the closet, put it on him, and tied the straps in back. The white skirt of the apron contrasted neatly against the black of the skirt and John looked very domestically dapper.

"Go downstairs and fix breakfast, while I get dressed, Mary ordered. Good natured John went on his way and started frying eggs, pouring the juice, preparing the bacon and setting the table.

Just then the doorbell rang. "Please go and get it," shouted Mary from the bedroom. John automatically did as he was told and only after he opened the door did he realize that he was facing the visitor dressed as female help in the household. His blood pumped to his head and he almost closed the door again. However, the man said, "Good morning, Miss. May I look at the electric meter please?"

"Yes, sir," John said, blushing as if he had just come out of a steam bath. But the man noticed nothing and went down to the basement and presently left again after a cheery "Good bye, Miss." John went to the large floor-length mirror in the hallway and took another good look at himself. His thoughts again touched on the remarkable ease with which he apparently passed as a female and this greatly relieved his anxiety about his appearance.

Mary came down a little later asking who was at the door. When John told her, she seemed pleased at the naturalness with which he had taken this sudden confrontation in his stride. She said, "You would make a perfect housemaid, Darling." John did not reply, not taking this remark too seriously. Little did he know that Mary was formulating plans in her dominating mind that would change his

entire life.

After eating breakfast, Mary tied a white ribbon in John's wig so that he now had a ponytail. We don't want to get your hair dusty do we? Then she ordered him to wax all the floors, make the beds, dust all the rooms, and perform all the many feminine tasks that are a housewifes duty. That evening, after the dinner dishes were done, John was really tired. Together they watched television, John dressed in an attractive beige dress, with white piping and a matching leather belt, which Mary had pulled real tight over his cinched-in waist, accentuating his pronounced bosom even more.

The next day Mary made John wear an attractive wrap-around swirl dress, white with blue rick rack, the straps tight around his waist. She asked John to serve her breakfast in bed and after that John was kept busy around the house with all those female activities he remembered so well from the time he kept house for his mother.

And so the rest of the week went by. Frequently John would steal a minute and look at himself in the mirror. Every time he was amazed at his feminine image. And he did admit to himself several times that he now looked very much more attractive than before.
