it was cool enough for furs too. We were then treated to the evenings entertainment some of which is pictured in the accompanying pages. First we had a Fashion show with Anita, Gloria, Bobbie, Fran, Lee and others whom I can't remember as they showed what the well dressed FP will wear (if she is given a chance). The evening was masterfully handled by Denise of Chicago who, unfortunately, had to appear mas- querading as her brother since it had not been feasible to bring along an outfit. He introduced all the people and acts and kept up a runn- ing fire of comments which added much to the pleasure of the evening. Diana from Chicago gave an unaccompanied monolog, Bobbie and Fran sang to records. Then the New Yorkers took over, Susanna gave us her usual fascinating Spanish dances, Gail repeated her famous "To Keep My Love Alive" number and Karen, Gail and Jessica combined as a trio to sing to records. Cindy gave a harmonica solo or two, and Irene and Fiona from Toronto brought down the house with a rendition (mean- ing to tear things up) of the Swan Lake Ballet (otherwise known as the Duck Pond Jump), it was really a very cute take off on ballet and everybody enjoyed it immensely. The Piece de Resistance of the ev- ening, however, and the act which wound up the performance was the trio again, Gail, Karen and Jessica singing to a record of "There's Nothing Like a Dame." The amusing thing was that the recording was a male trio and it was really some thing to see these three beautiful girls singing like crazy and these deep male voices coming out. The payoff was the last line which goes down to a real bass voice and pret- ty little. Karen belted it way down, it was a real panic.

After the entertainment proper we just sat around, danced around, talked around, had refreshments and generally visited like mad till people finally began to drop out from 2 A. M. on. I think I passed out about 3--from fatigue not drink. Next morning about 10 saw the clan beginning to gather in the kitchen again in all sorts of clothing from negligees and nighties through various houscoats, dresses etc. and some already back in male attire ready for the long voyage home. About 1 P.M. we had a meeting of the membership of FPE present plus those who had voiced an interest in it and expected to join. We dis- cussed the organization of chapters and what they could and should do and various other matters. Then as we broke up the group began to dress for going home at the end of one of the most remarkable week- ends in history, one which none of us who were present will ever for- get. How lucky our group is that Marie and Susanna have this wonder- ful place where such a meeting could take place--all of us extend our thanks to them, not only for the place but for the care they both took of us in the line of beds, food and all the rest. I am sure that never before in history have sixty some true TVs, a dozen or so wives and a couple of professional men met together for such an occasion. While
