Transvestia

a two-piece suit, rather than a dress, because the long skirt was separate, as the lucky fellow demonstrated to- wards the end of the party, as he unzipped the side and stepped out of his long skirt, to reveal the attached knee- length skirt underneath. And having put the long skirt aside, there he was in a pretty and practical dress, suit- able for driving away on the honeymoon journey. It had

a pretty "flyaway" collar in white, to contrast with the emphatic color of the dress, and the guests all pronounced it very, very charming. The bride won many compliments for having dressed her husband so tastefully.

One of the most interesting and delightful things about the party was the display of presents and trousseau The bride's gift to her husband was a lovely wardrobe of pretty clothes, such as any woman would envy, and he had one of the same for her. There were two travelling wardrobe trunks, ready to be put in the back of their station wagon, each full of lovely, pretty frocks, play- suits, blouses and skirts, and it was hard to tell who was going to be the prettier, the husband or the wife. He was obviously going to spend the entire honeymoon wearing only girlie things, with his wife's full co-operation. He had lots of nice hats, too, and dainty high-heeled shoes. And lingerie there was something else again; there were on display two enormous plexiglass domes, each filled with a froth of foamy frilly lingerie and nighties and negilgees; one predominantly white and pink, with "hers" embroidered on each item, and the other white and blue, likewise embroidered "his". Evidently, the bride was going to have an enthusiastic girl-friend around, as well as a husband, and in a properly balanced marriage such as this, a husband would know how to handle the feminine world.

But it was a delightful party, not only for the radi- ant couple, but also for the other girls and their wives, who united to give the newly-weds a real good send-off. We could not wish anybody a more delightful and pretty wedding-occasion, and when they took off for their honey- moon, they looked as pretty and radiant a pair or girls one could wish to see.
