Transvestia

that she was going to clean out the basement, the carton went out above the garage where it was quite inaccessible. The project died.

Things went along in this fashion, on and off, but nothing very serious until the middle fifties, when the bomb hit! Our club brought to town a play in which all of the women's parts were taken by men. When I saw it all of the old longings came flooding back in me and I knew that something had to be done about it. Fortunately a couple of years before I had bought the building in which my business is located, and I decided that a "store- room" was necessary. In it are the locked storage cab- inets in which Kay maintains her residence. The door opens upon a public corridor and from it Kay goes out upon her sorties.

Over the years a substantial wardrobe has accumulat- ed in the cabinets until now it has become necessary to keep some of the out-of-season things in a rather large foot locker.

Kay keeps telling her brother that he should tell his wife, but her temperment is such that he is afraid to. As it is, his business permits him to hide in the storage room while Kay goes on an occasional foray. With the advent of TRANSVESTIA and FPE, the old loneliness has eased somewhat and so now he says to Kay: "Count your blessings, dear. You could be a lot worse off than you

are".

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

by Phyllis (22-A-1FPE)

When I was a youngster, I had long pretty curls And I wore pretty dresses like all little girls. With ruffles and ribbons and long dainty hose A lovely young thing from my head to my toes.

So happy and thrilled were both Mother and I And how quickly in shopping the time would pass by.

But there was a secret only she and I knew You see, I was last in an all boy crew!
