Dear Virginia,

Letters to the Editor

Life has become so much better for me. It is as thought I were already enjoying a bit of heaven, for my spouse, while not agreeing still with my concepts, has nevertheless become reconciled and entered into the spirit of my activities. To the point that last week she went out and bought me a new spring dress, with necklace and earrings; and yesterday she wanted to know if I thought I needed any more lingerie for my trip south. I am now enabled to don my attire too at any time, which I was not able to do before, as it meant a scene. All in all, life has become very mea- ningful, and seems so much richer and joyous.

Thus, with a happy smile and a gay new dress, June will go forth and let you know in a week or so, how it goes in the land of Chile Con Carne, and warm sunshine.

See you then, Adios, June

Dear Virginia,

In answer to your note, a little about myself. Ι had a year of frustration, when I tried to give up my dresses, and had serious repercussions, physically and psychologically.

My wife was a wonderful women. I met her the first time when she was about twenty-four, and I was thirty. She was a high school graduate with two years of college and nearly finished with nurses training when she married the first time. Her first marriage blew up within a few years. My mother came home from the hospital and had to have care, the Doctor brought this wonderful girl to our home.

I was digging into my suit case one night for the check book to give her the pay for two weeks. She saw my rayon shorts, and remarked, "These must have cost plenty.' I admitted they did, and wrote out the check. As I did, she remarked, "My kind would cost half as much.
