too. Each pose was lovely I found, and instead of there being any suspicion on the part of my family, there was instead extreme cur- ɔsity as to who this pretty girl was????

I didn't go with girls even though I was now eighteen years years old. So they naturally wondered who she was. At first I kidded them and the thought that I had fooled my own family with my impersonation filled me with such a feeling of excitement that I wanted to rush up to my room and don the lovely swimsuit and show them who this 'Girl' was. Still I just told them it was a girl I knew and it all went over all right. The background of the pict- ures, of course, showed that the shots had been taken at our home, so I had to fabricate several stories about having her over while they had been gone and had in fact taken these on several different occasions. To my astonishment my one sister Betty said she knew the girl.

"I know who that is Al, it's Doris Wilson" she said triumph- antly.

"Doris Wilson of THE Wilsons?" Mom said surprised.

"No, it can't be", Beth replied. She looked at me in such a way that an answer had to be forthcoming. Still, how could I admit to it. What would Doris say? She and I were classmates, but we never did have much in common. She came from a prominent family in the city and I from a rich farm family. Still, the fact remained that we did know each other and even if we didn't date she would of course deny the picture deal and then I would have to fabricate another explanation. So I denied vehemently that this was Doris Wilson.

Still my sister persisted and since Betty and Doris were old friends, I knew that Betty would approach Doris about the matter Several days later I was out in the field plowing when Doris drove up in a big Cadillac and stopped near my tractor.

"Hi, haven't seen you in some time" she smiled at me stopped the Farmall and came toward her.
