give a decision then and there. But several days later, after conferring with his colleagues on the Senate and the Professorial Board, he agreed. It was not a big un- iversity, and it was keen to make a name for itself in the international academic world. And so Pat and I (when we had received Aunt Jemima's smiling approval) literally let our hair down, and became college girls.

For us it was a most satisfying life. The study en- riched and stimulated our intellects: the occasional parties at the University were a delight to our feminine hearts, and we knew that we were helping to solve a problem which had afflicted uncounted people.

Curiously enough, we became very popular with both men and women students, most of whom soon half- forgot that we had proved ourselves to be men, and treated us like the pretty girls we seemed to be. Last- ly, in the course of his researches, Professor Schmidt discovered Virginia and her Chevalier Publications; and before long we had the special pleasure of reading Transvestia and of corresponding with our sister TVs. The years rolled joyfully by. We graduated, Batchelors of Arts, with Honours.

That was last year. All this year we have been practising and rehearsing for our stage careers. We have signed a contract, at a splendid salary, with the fam- ous Robert Dulac. Next week, under the guidance of our beloved Auntie Jem, we are to begin touring the world, from great city to great city, from theatre to theatre, on all of which our names will appear in lig- hts, among those of the other stars.

But what of marriage? Pat and I love one another more deeply even than twins do; but are we never go- ing to fulfil the masculine sides of our natures, and find real girls to love as well? Why, we love scores of girls already! But are we never to marry two of them? Our lives have now reached the beginning of a wonderful career: but is our story never to have, as the love-stories say, a "happy ending?"

Of course it is! But that will be another story!
