size you wear?" Or to run into the same saleslady while you are accompanying your wife and hear the saleslady say, "Hello, Mrs. Smith, did you like the stockings your husband bought for you last week?".. be out in public and have the new, liquid-filled bal- loons you are wearing as falsies, break (This actually happened to me once, before I knew enough about such tricks, was I embarrassed!!!)... To go out of the house in your male attire and- as you are about to take the bus--you realize you forgot to remove the vivid red nailpolish... To talk a TV friend into plucking his eye- brows having assured him that not one person in a thous- and will notice..So..the day after, he rings you and tells you in icy tones that the first person he met ex- claimed outlous "Why, you've plucked your eyebrows!". ..Or to finally make the supreme, bold effort of step- ping out in what you think is your best appearance only to have a little kid stare at you and then loudly shout to his mother near-by: "Mommy, look at the lady with a moustache!" (I can vouch for this event it happened to me some ten years ago)...(the little brat must have had X-ray vision!)... But the most devastating experience of them all was lived by a TV friend who was riding with us to the resort. He was the only one dressed and he had made that supreme effort we all make while striving for perfection...we all told him he looked simply superb...and he did... until we stopped for cof- fee along the way and as we were getting back to the car, a State trooper growled: Wait a minute" and pro- ceeded to focus his flashlight on our friend. We'll never forget the question he asked: "What are you doing in women's clothes, buddy?-- Fortunately our friend got out of the electric chair by telling the trooper he was a performer on the stage. The trooper waved us away and you should have heard the sigh of relief!!!. From that time on our friend was never the same and never believ- ed anyone who told her she looked wonderful...
