ing would indeed add to the spice of life, let's say a formal evening, a day for make-up lessons and experiments a day for sewing and fitting, a day for posture, walking and sitting practice, a day for styling--my oh my, but we could have fun.

Personally I shall look forward ever so much to each new issue. You're just so dear to start this and to thus add the very breath of life to life itself, that you can be sure that you have one very strong fan here in N.C. Here's $5 for #3 and as soon as it arrives I'll want #4 and so on. Use the extra buck for general costs.

Sincerely, Jerrie, N.C.

Dear Editor:

I just received #3 of "TRANSVESTIA" a few days ago. I want to tell you what a fine job you are doing with this very interesting magazine. It is the answer to my prayers. I have been a TV for several years and enjoy it thoroughly. Keep up the good work.

Sincerely, Lena, Ark

Editor's Reply:

Lena, you say that you have been a TV for "several years". Since you are a long way from being a child, this implies that you learned about and first experienced TVism as an adult. Since most TVs indicate a beginning of their interest in feminine things as beginning in childhood or adolescence it is always interesting to know the circumstances of its beginning in an adult. The article, "A Doctor Becomes a TV" in #4 and the story of another case in this issue are cases illustrating that the "hobby" can develop from innocent causes. This has always fascinated me because I think it indicates that TVism is not the result necessarily of some psycho-traum- atic childhood experience but can be merely another man- ifestation of the attraction between the sexes and is abnormal principally in the fact that it is unusual. am sure that a story of your "conversion" would prove of interest to all of us, how about one for # 6??
