considered going to the girls' dresser drawers but de- cided against it and resigned himself to doing the best he could with what he had. First he put on the panties but they kept falling down about his knees, for even though he was now fourteen, he hadn't yet grown enough in waist and hips to wear his aunt's garments. He fin- ally succeeded in hooking the bra, which hung loosely on him as did the slip and dress.

He kept trying to get up and run, but the panties were now around his ankles. They tripped him and he fell with a thump on his backside and lay there panting.

Thelma had come in and, shutting the door, had leaned against it and watched him going through these antics trying to escape. She began laughing and laughed so hard she had to sit in a chair to get her
