To summarize: we were soon enmeshed in our plans to open a really smart specialty shop. Most of our friends thought that we were just a couple of foolish women destined to fail, but despite this we tinued our plans. We were, of course, terribly green, and had a hard time making the necessary arrangements, and getting our stock together; but finally we were ready and held our grand opening. Most of the women we knew dropped in on the opening day--more from curiousity than anything else--but when they saw the exquisite things we had we got nothing but favorable comments. From the first our effort prospered, though our lack of business experience at first kept us from doing as well as we might have. From our small beginning with nothing but lingerie, hosiery, handkerchiefs, veils we slowly branched out--first into corsets, then hats, and finally into a complete woman's shop. I learned as we grew, and in time even Frances had to admit that my taste was better than hers, I loved our twice-yearly shopping trips to the East, and could hard- ly resist keeping for myself most of the lovely gowns and accessor- ies we purchased--as it was I soon became the best-dressed woman in town, and the more gowns I had the more I wanted.

Thus the years have rolled by--I am now middleaged--but still very chic looking. I never think of myself as a man, and the thought of wearing men's clothes is abhorrent. I am very happy in my feminine role, and ask nothing more.
