Dear Virginia:

Thanks to our magazine I had a letter from one of the other TVs. My first, and I certainly was thrilled. It is a good feeling to know that one is not alone.

After reading all of the issues to date many times I have some thoughts on three subjects that I thought I would send on to you.

TVS AND MARRIAGE: I will emphasize strongly that one should never marry unless the intended fully understands and is willing to cooperate. In my own case she did not and would not understand. The result has been a lot of heartbreak, embarassment and heavy financial loss. It is my own fault, as I should have known better. I hope that the younger TVs will heed and profit by my mistake WHAT TO WEAR? I would advise one to subscribe to one of the better fashion magazines. In time you can become quite proficient on what colors, styles, etc. to wear. Of the utmost importance, dress simply and in good taste according to one's age. Pay particular attention to how women of your age dress Merely follow suit Nothing is more foolish than to overdress ; wery age has its com- pensations. I love shoulder len tl. hair in a light shade but at my age it appears foolish. You can still be glam- orbus as the years pass on. At 40 I now prefer a salt and pepper shade of hair and the more matronly styles I know that the age of 20 is long gone and I refuse to be morose about it. Accept age and you will be happier.

THE TWO PERSONALITIES: This is tough because it is hard to seperate them. Again the matter of good taste comes to the front. You wouldn't go to a formal dance in shorts. It is hard work to be two people but if you wish to be a happy and well adjusted TV it is almost necessary. I have different friends, habits, and credentials for each personality. With the exception of the professionals (and I like you envy them) remember that one has to sup- port the other. Maybe at some time in the future it won't be necessary but for today it is a fact. Give both per-
