much simpler way than that.

I came back to New York by train Monday evening, in my feminine attire and identity and took a room at a hotel--not the woman-exclusively one that I had stayed at before. I registered as Jean Smithers. (Pick any last name you wish but make the first name--and your handwriting--such as could be either masc- uline or feminine, and don't use any "Miss" or "Mrs ") In the morning then I simply dressed out of the other suitcase for the first time in almost a week, laying aside my pretties and putting on the clean-lined, strong masc- uline attire which I also like. Then I came down to sign out. The night clerk and bellboys in a large hotel are not the same as the midmorning workers, and in a big city a person is not noticed too closely anyway. So Jean Smithers, woman, checked in Monday evening and stayed overnight. Then Jean Smithers, man, paid the bill and checked out Tuesday morning, and I proceeded on my way for the balance of my tour.

When your feminine personality, experience and "beingness" as a woman is well established, it can be as simple and smooth as that. Dont try it your first time "out"! As with everything else in life, build up your skill, your experience, your competence in appearing as a woman. BE a woman during the time you appear as one. But when that is at last accomplished a woman's residence hotel is a logical place to stay when away on a trip to the big city. Have fun!!

"AFTER THE BALL"

After the Ball was over

Nellie went back to her home!

Took off her high heels and hosiery,

Removed both her "falsies" of foam,

Discarded her dress and her undies

Took off wig, makeup and all--

Then lovely Nellie was Rodney--

After the Ball!.
