me out of the car in front of the YW and seeing me to the elevator he hissed me good night. A long soulful kiss. Then he asked if he could see me again. "I'd love to go on another double date with you and Janet and Dick" I replied, and he promised to call me the next afternoon about four.

"Good night, Edie" he called as he turned to leave. "Good night, Billy" I fairly gushed.

Janet and I ascended in the elevator and neither of us spoke except to say good night dear when I left the car. The next thing I knew I was at my door and entering my room I threw my purse on the dresser and lay down on the bed without undressing. I just lay there reliving all the gorgeous moments of my date.

OF THE GIRL IN THE SATIN GOWN

Oh that I, a man, might be

Privileged to dress as she. Corset tightly laced in place, Lovely make-up on my face. And as I came into a room

I'd fill the air with sweet perfume. Would I were the one who feels

Lofted high on slender heels.

And also be the one who knows

The feel of sheerest nylon hose.

Instead of this broad manyl chest, I would wear a woman's breast

And in my mirror I'd admire--

ME, full-clad in her attire. The want grows in me 'till it hurts

To wear those swirling satin skirts And shining blouse with pretty bow

Earrings tight and hanging low.

Oh, that I, a man, might be

Priveleged to dress as she!.
