over beige, very elegant. A lecture dress that will knock 'em cold next time I get a chance to use it.

Monday evening I had dinner with Maryetta and Gina in their apartment. These new friends are two of the nicest people I've met. Maryetta (the wife) is a little Dresden doll.

Well, the week went entirely too fast for me. I spent the night at the beautiful beach home of a doc- tor friend of mine ( I should say of ours, as he and his nice wife are very sympathetic and understanding of our kind Had a wonderful dinner with Dr. & Mrs. H. Benjamin and Dr. Beigel which topped it off. I was taken to lunch by Mr. Hugo Gernsback, Dr. Rubin and two of the editors of SEXOLOGY Magazine. Mr. Gerns- back was the founder and publisher of the magazine and the grand old man of the field of public educat- ion on the subject sex. We all owe him a debt be- cause it was he that provided the outlet for Dr. Cauld- well's writings on the subject of TV which gave a modicum of understanding and encouragement to many of us in the dark ages many years ago.

I had a wonderful time in the stores altho the weather was terrible being both hot and rainy. I would come home to the apartment just as wet on the inside from perspiration as on the outside from rain. And I was the only woman on the streets of New York tromping around with open toed California type strap sandals. I rode subways and buses, went to a play, bought dresses, was taken to lunches and dinners, and walked the streets a great deal all as a woman, and I lived and loved every minute of it.

Friday nite I ended my stay as I had begun it, with a party, this time at Gails and had a lovely time renewing old friendships and making a couple of new ones. But time is so short on a once-a-year trip that there were so many people I didn't get to talk with enough. But departure time came. Saturday morning,
