16.

After breakfast (with Gloria officiating at the eggs), Edith and I helped with the dishes and then settled down for the day, The general tone of the place is just relaxation and do what you like. It is a remarkable experience in just living, but living in clothing that you enjoy living in. We talked, lounged around in each other's bedrooms, went for walks--Susanna took Marge and Karen and Virginia for a tour of the estate and showed the new self contained house that they had set up for housing TVs during the summer when tourists are running about the place. The day passed all too quickly (it didn't really get started till about 11 due to the late night before).

The Remingtons, Sunbeams and Norelco's were buzzing like a hive of angry bees, but it didn't seem out of place. This was the keynote of the whole experience and this is what I'd like to get across to those of you who have never been to the Resort and who may be a little fearful to go--naturalness, relaxation, peace. Here we were, 15 otherwise normal active men living and dressing like woman and very happy and comfortable we were too. It wasn't a "show", a
