all ready to go, and made reservations to leave on an early morn- ing plane so that we would be flying almost all day, and would arrive at our destination during the late afternoon. When the great day came, Penny took us out to the airport with our luggage. I had two large suitcases, and so did Mary. I wore my lovely pink traveling outfit, and Mary wore her lovely sky-blue suit with blouse, shoes, gloves, hat and purse to match. We arrived at our destination during the afternoon, and when we arrived at our hotel we both took a short nap, and then started out to explore our surr- oundings. I wore a white outfit, and Mary again wore a pale blue outfit, that being her favorite color. We went down stairs and looked the hotel and the grounds over, and then sat on the porch together where we met two ladies about our same age who invited us to meet them for cocktails and to join them at dinner later. About 5:30 P.M. we returned to our room and changed into our cock- tail dresses and went to meet our new found friends, and had a lovely time with them.

We quickly made a number of friends, and the month passed al- most before we realized it. I had never in all my life had such a lovely and wonderful time, and Mary said many times that she was enjoying our vacation more than she had ever expected.

"Do you love me as much as your sister as you thought you would?" I asked one evening while we were getting ready to go out for the evening.

"Darling," she replied, "I love you more than ever, and I love you especially as my sister. You have made me very, very happy, and I am afraid I am really going to be sorry when you chan- ge back into your other self when we return home."

That really gave me something to think about, but we did not discuss it further at that time. On several occasions however, Mary made it plain to me that so far as she was concerned, she would prefer it if I remained in feminine attire indefinitely, al- though she never did make any definite statement or express her- self definitely about the future.

At last the time came for us to return home, and we wired Penny the time of our arrival, and she met us at the airport and took us to her home for dinner.
