sad; they were honestly sad at what was in store for This is a lot different than many cases when boys are put into dresses and under the supervision of women. I know of cases that are entirely different in that the women or woman "over" the male, be he child, boy or grown man, WANT him to disobey so they can pun- ish and humiliate him and hear him cry and whimper and beg! Alice and Miss Cora were genuinely sorry about the whole matter!

After breakfast I was bathed by mother. She was si- lent, oh it was an awful silence! In my room a pair t of those awful, long black, cotton stockings were put on me and they were held up by tight rubber bands as garters. Low heeled work shoes were worn. An old soiled cheap bra and panties and an old sack of a dress that hung on me like the sack it was! The dress just came to my hose tops and at each step my white, bare legs showed a bit! Oh how terrible I felt in this outfit; here was a punishment itself; I mean that I loved nice things, soft things, lovely things, things with color, things that "swished", garments that were completely feminine and now here I was dressed exactly like a girl to be punished in an English Boarding School! I had read of this sort of costume and what shame it caused!

Well, I was taken to the shed but before that I was allowed to sit down in the drawing room for a while. Alice kissed me and told me that it was all for the best and that I would become a better girl for it! Miss Cora told me to stand in the corner with hands at sides and face to the wall and how silly I felt! How terribly nervous I felt as Miss Cora would come and go, in the room and out and I never knew which time was to be the one that she would come and take me to the dreaded wood shed! At last I was taken by the arm and as I wept and Alice cried a little and as Miss Cora looked sad and grim, it was a sorry picture indeed.
