Chicago, being the hub of America, has FPE members passing through it continually. If Denise, our vice president, or myself happen to be in town we'd welcome breaking bread with you and even dressing together. We have no club house to invite you to but we're working in that direction.

Beta even hopes to have a Resort of it's own someday.

All the photos are less than one year old. I didn't have enough time to get professional shots in' time for the publication deadline. I hope to correct this in future issues.

When do I dress? During our monthly meetings and when the opportunity presents itself as I travel. I love to go out, attend mov- ies and fashion shows. Last summer the high point was reached when Susanna's brother took me out shopping in New York. I learned to sew this summer, tutored by Ida at the resort: When you depart from the "locked room" to the hotel lobby you can't settle for anything but a good fit. I haven't yet convinced my wife to take my wardrobe under her wing but I'll keep working on that. Somehow when I'm dressed, other women strike up conversations with me. They're so fascinated that both my "husband" and I are engineers. "So nice that you can combine a career with marriage. Must be enchanting to travel with your husband." One woman last month introduced me to her husband who, I guess, to test me, engaged me in a technical conversation. "Wish my wife could talk with me that way, your hus- band is a very lucky man, he said. I merely blushed a thank you as both departed. I'd like to put these talents to some worthwhile use and such as police undercover work which I did once in Michigan. But so far, nothing has turned up.

I'll leave you now with my best wishes to all of you who read these lines for success and much happiness in our mutual field of Femme Personation.

Yours,
