information having to do with our subject. DO judge others by yourself. If it was interesting enough for you to read it will be interesting to pass on to others through the pages of TRANSVESTIA. We had a

NEWS and NOTES column in No. 1 but I dont think we'll have enough material for one this time

One way that this mag can really be helpful is to compile andpublish information about legal decisions bearing on Transvestism, impersonation or masquerading.. whatever the police want to call it. Cases where a TV has beaten the rap should be made known to all because such cases provide precedent which a lawyer could make good use of in defending any of us should need be. This journal should be of service as well as for enjoy- ment, but it must have a lot of interested reporters in various parts of the country sending in the news!!! Many readers have made suggestions that we print this or that, such as cities where impersonator shows are playing, or a list of sizes of women's clothing that correspond to mens sizes. These are good ideas and they can surely be printed, but who is to provide the information in the first place? The Editor knows no way of getting this type of information any more than the rest of you. You get it..we'll print it.

Apologies are offered to those who answered either the Pretty Fashions or Allied Enterprises ads in No.1. Both of these were inserted by a friend of the Editor's He is in the importing business and went to Mexico about the time we went to press. He has not been heard from since, What has happened we dont know, but we regret the disappointment some of you had in not getting a re- ply. The ad was genuine at the time but is not valid now. The other advertizers are active however.

Finally I want to say that many of you write and ask me questions personally. I dont want to be rude, but TRANSVESTIA is after all a side line with me and it has brought so much correspondence with it that I am just swamped I hope you will understand and forgive. Many of the questions about make-up, dress, deportment, falsies etc. will be discussed at length in a separate booklet that will be published soon.
