Transvestia With a whispered "excuse me", he took off. Another morning, the teacher very seriously tells me he must warn me of an unforeseen result his lessons might bring about: it seems that he has a friend who is a psychiatrist and has mentioned to him the fact that he has a TV student. The psychiatrist feels that as we work to bring out the feminine we are also relaxing and developing the male personality....and he thinks that it could well happen that Susanna would end by disappearing entirely as her brother became stronger. In other words as you learn to dance in dresses you might just be killing the girl-within! I assured my teacher that I wasn't one bit worried over his friend's theory because ever since I've been taking these lessons both Susanna and her brother feel physically better.. true..but as usual it is Susanna who wants to do the dancing. HE is not interested. At any rate I must meet that psychiatrist. We ought to have a very nice and illuminating chat. But even with this threat of extinc- tion Susanna feels marvellous....it is one of the most worthy investments I've ever made in my life...Of course it takes a teacher who is not only good but fully aware of the TV's mental and physical problems.

Cynthia warmly recommends the new pressed face powder "corn silk"....it looks terrific on her face, but again not everybody has a face like Cynthia's. And this brings me to the closing note for this issue: the gathering at Sheila's in early October. As usual it was fun...and as usual we devoured the goodies that only Clarissa knows how to fix. Joan and Susanna celebrated one more birthday trying to convince themselves that they are both one year younger...Joan looks younger but she is cheating Betsy from Rhode Island and Pamela from England (this is Pamela #2, also a Limey) were ecstatically happy. It had been a long time of absten- tion for both of them....Pamela even gathered enough courage to leave Sheila's house without changing back.. and Wilma's brother (who was kindly doing the driving) treated Pamela to an extra 40 miles of travelling by sneakingly taking the wrong road back to New York.

Wilma asks me to warn TV's against buying the new small size Polaroid. She says they do a very poor job. And thus ends another chapter in TVland.
