unique situation. Can you picture it and my feelings? Well, that is the way it was! I might add that it is still a bit this way!

We listened to a wonderful symphony program from San Francisco - what a city of good taste is this place by the Golden Gate! It seemed late but it was only nine when Miss Cora said: "Well, it has been a wonderful day but we are all ready to go to bed I guess!" Alice said "yes" and I blushed! Miss Cora came to me and raised me to my feet and gave me a kiss and a motherly pat on the seat and said: "Well, you go on up, Elsie, and get into your gown that I have laid out for you." Alice came to me and kissed me in a most terrific way and said: "Go on up dearest. I will follow soon". I went! I undressed all trembling and got into the lovely night gown, so soft, so pink, so feminine! I was amazed at out bedroom. It had two of the largest beds I had ever seen! I got in the one to the West as I had been told and soon I heard the steps of Alice as I turned out the light. She came in and in the bright moonlight that filtered through the curtains I could see her out- line as she got ready for bed and I could hear her gar- ments and her breathing and she came to the bed and it was all so beautiful, sol wonderful, so clean and lovely that I do not wish to share it with others! Please for- give me.

I wept from sheer joy and perhaps there was a touch of humiliation! Alice shushed me Alice shushed me she was gentle, but she was the aggressor and the night was filled with love and beauty!

Now I skip to the present. I am happy that Miss Cora lives with us and so is Alice. Miss Cora helps to keep me in line as to my tasks that I perform. We all do our part in keeping house, mending, sewing and our FEMININE lives are happy ones! True, there is some shame at times, some punishment and correction but I admit that I need it! In general, my life, our lives are filled with pleasure.
