registration, and Mother decided to go with me in case any ques- tion arose. When I presented my report card, which bore the name 'Robert Mason', Mother made the necessary explanation, and I was duly registered as 'Roberta Mason', and assigned a locker in the girl's locker-room, and it seemed that I was fairly launched upon my Junior Year in a High School as a girl! I was delighted, and thrilled to think of the pleasures in store for me during the coming year, but, alas! It was not to be after all.

At the end of the second week of the term Mother received a letter from the School Board advising that since my name had never been legally changed from Robert to 'Roberta', and since all of my school records were in the name of 'Robert' it would be im- possible for me to continue as a girl, and they requested that I be re-registered as 'Robert' instead of 'Roberta', and that I be dressed appropriately also. Mother went to see the County Super- intendant, but he refused to change his directions, and I was com- pelled to cease wearing my beautiful clothes to school, and resume my boy's clothing. Needless to say, however, I continued to wear my beautiful dresses at home, and on week-ends, and to parties not sponsored by the school.

My wonderful summer in petticoats had come to an end, but I shall never forget it, nor have I ever ceased to love the many beautiful dresses, and the other lovely articles of feminine attire to which I became accustomed during that wonderful summer.
