few trusted TV pen pals, until TRANSVESTIA was published. It was only then that I decided to "come out in the open" to a limited degree and share my experiences with other TVs in order that each of us may better understand just what we are mixed up in and help each other where we can. I have enjoyed reading about others in TRANSVESTIA and I hope you have enjoyed hearing my story Our editor, Virginia, is doing a wonderful work. Let's all support

her efforts!.

Yours,

"WHERE IGNORANCE IS BLISS - 'IS FOLLY TO BE WISE"

"Her" high heels clicked upon the walk

As "she" strolled through the park

And many glances turned "her" way

As "she enjoyed "her" lark

Then "she" sat upon a bench

And smoothed "her" dress with care "She" took a mirror from "her" purse; Tucked in a lock of hair.

And as "she" sat, in picture hat And watched the passing scene, "She" looked every inch a lady Quite polished and serene.

A man who sat across the way Soon then began to flirt How could the poor fellow know A man was in that skirt!

Ignorance is a bliss, they say, But it's a special blessing As long as society will frown Upon a man cross-dressing,

Georgia--Colo.
