A CHEVALIER D'EON WEEKEND or A DREAM COME TRUE

BY MARILYN

The Chevalier d'Eon Resort provided me one of the most memorable weekends of my life. I am writing this in the sincere hope that others will be encouraged to visit this wonderful place and thus experience the same thrilling mom- ents as did I.

Of course my first knowledge of the Resort was from an Ad in an early issue of TRANSVESTIA. It sounded wonder- ful but a little more than one could really believe possible. But soon thereafter I was in New York on business. I was

in need of a good wig so stopped at Marie's of Fifth Avenue. Marie wąs most kind and considerate, I soon had a beautiful blonde wig, the perfection of which I could not hope to ade- quately describe to you. In the course of my fitting I learned that she was the wife of our N. Y. correspondent Susanna,

Marie supplied me with a brochure on the Chevalier 'Eon and told me of the good things it offered to a TV. She really sold me on a future trip to the resort. I was planning another trip to N.Y. in August so I set my mind on combining a trip to the Catskills at the same time as my N.Y. visit,

Preparations were somewhat extended. While I have a very complete wardrobe of feminine attire and all the things necessary to the well-groomed girl, still there are always a few new items to obtain. Thus I busily shopped for sever- al weeks and put together my traveling outfits. I had one suitcase for my feminine things and one for the necessary male items. Actually, like most girls I took more than I really needed for my stay of two nights and one day. In ad- dition to the usual but lovely incidentals and accessories, I used just one cocktail dress and one cotton dress. Both had full skirts. The cocktail dress has only small straps and is of black taffete. The cotton dress has a square negkline, slightly broader straps, sleeveless, and has large black and white horizontal stripes. I love both of them.
