her in GLANCE about 1950 or so. Anyhow her observation and advice was that people see only superficially. Anyono in a skirt and heels with purse and gloves and makeup is a woman. You don't have to be especially feminine appearing (many wo- men aren't you know) but if you'll use makeup with care and select your clothes for the occasion you'll have little if any trouble at all. Bobbie used to amuse me with the clothes She was a "show dancer" and she dressed tha part. Actually she lived in a moderate sized-but rural- eastern Pennsylvania town where flashy dress was a beacon light. She did NOT use "impersonator" in her billing, Some places she'd take off the hair It the end and others she wouldn't. In street clothes she obviously was a show girl--tall, slim, blonde with a good figure that she showed off well. She maintained that if you took a deep breath and didn't act furtively--no one would question you. I think she was pretty much right. You must, however, be complete and careful--no such obvious things as a day's stubble poking thru the pancake or sitting spraddle-legged slouching all over a chair. If you'd be a woman--act like a lady and you'll do all right,
Must really stop now,--my best to you

Dear Charles:
Just received my copy of #5 and it is the GREATEST yet Your magazine has improved with each issue, but this, the 5th, is the best. I especially like the sepia printing and all the reprints of the letters to the Editor, Of course I never expect to find mine there but I like to read what the I guess you'll like And those pictures!!
other say. (Surprise, Surprise--Ed.
this issue for all the letters too.))
Your price of $4 per copy is NOT too much. Am wonder- ing, though, why you can't send these out at the regular book or newpaper rate (considerably below what you are pay- ing now for postage. My best to you and TRANSVESTIA.

(Ed. Note: Reason for paying 1st Class postage is for the readers protection-so others won't know what you receive.)
