you put these on."

She then opened up the dainty piece of lacy material and he saw they were delectable pale blue panties. A blush suffused his face but there was no one to notice it as Jill had returned to her bedroom. In some trepidation but in some ex- citement (in fact the excitement seemed to be growing) he put on the panties. As they slid over his white legs a new excitement al- most overcame him--what softness, what smoothness! He then began to examine the rest of the very feminine garments. A lacy bra fill- ed to shape a lovely breast, soft nylon stockings and, a very beau- tiful negligee. As he was putting on the negligee Jill poked her head round the bedroom door and seeing what he was doing, came over to help him put it on.

She then took his hand and led him into her bedroom where she seated him before her mirror. "You look sweet", she said but add- ed that she thought she ought to do something about his hair.

It must have been seeking expression for many years. Now he knew why he liked to look at the very feminine things in the shops, why he always sized up women when in their presence and why sometimes he wanted to tell a girl that she was wearing the wrong purse for her outfit or the wrong jewelry. He sank into a chair and his mind continued its reverie. Suddenly he recalled several happenings during his childhood years. These made it clear to him that he had for a long time liked pretty feminine things and it flashed across his mind at times when a little boy, he had wished desperately that he might be dressed as a girl. He recalled how his mother often used to mention that she missed having had a daughter and how, on Hallowe'en she always sug- gested that he dress as a girl and somehow-now it came to him-he
