Virginia, can you remember the first delicious thrill of being completely clean shaven? Well, that's how I feel now! More completely feminine, than I ever dreamed possible! No more long hair curled un- der my hose--no more chest hair peeping out between the cups of my bra-no more underarm hair ruining the appearance of a sleeveless dress or blouse-just clean, fresh smooth skin! I took the plunge--all the way- and am terribly happy over the results. And I'm esp- ecially happy to discover a pair of very nice legs un- er all that fuzz! I wouldn't be ashamed to stand my filled nylons beside anyone now.

I have become much freer in buying clothes too. My usual subterfuge has been to always ask for only one item at a time, and usually in a different store. The clerk was always asked to gift wrap whatever item I purchased, so it would appear, ( I hoped,) as though I was just giving a personal gift to a girl friend. Yesterday I asked the clerk for several items at once and dispersed with the gift wrapping bit. When I left the store, I had a shopping bag full of lovely things, that would ordinarily have taken me weeks to buy.

I've even begun to try my very inexperienced hand, at makeup lately. Sure, I've always used a lip- stick, but now, I'm including pancake, eyebrow pen- cil, powder and eyeshadow. I just make a mess but, I'll learn. Everything else has worked out so well, lately that I suppose something had to prove difficult.

If I'm able to find a makeup expert though "CON- TACT", possibly she can tell me what to do with my face-short of wearing a hair piece backward!

Guess I've rambled enough for this time, thanks for listening. I'm sure you appreciate how I've felt lately, even though everything I've mentioned is "old- hat" to you.

Sincerely,
