not retract

so I managed to get myself manoeuvred in a position where I was asked to take the girl's part in a play for an organization out here. I had a ball of an evening and once having been asked, I was the natural choice on two other occasions. For those of you who have never done this, I can assure you it is a wonderful experience and on all the oc- casions I performed I never once received a snide remark. I did have a very amusing incident on one occasion when I was standing back stage watching the earlier part of the play, and a great friend of mine who was sitting beside me did not realise who the girl was who was looking at him until after the show was over! All I received was incredulous disbelief and praise for my acting!

Whilst I was preparing for this play I came across a shop which sold "Covermark" cosmetics so I made inquiries, and had a most interesting session with the owner of the shop. "Covermark" makes a very heavy foundation which is designed to hide birthmarks as its name implies, but I also find it an excellent cover for T.V.s as it effectively covers all trace of that blueness which is such a nuisance to most of us. It is however a very difficult make- up to apply and takes about twice the time to apply as panstick or a similar product, but to those of you who do have beard problems I recommend it as it does produce a remarkably clear complexion in those

cases.

This year much to my delight I was asked to go to Australia in connection with my business which gave me a wonderful opportunity to visit the Sydney girls. I had two very pleasant evenings when I met Fiona, Pat, Carole and June, though due to unfort- unate previous engagements I was never able to meet more than two of them at one time.

All I have said to-date has been centered on events and happenings. I would now like to discuss the influence these and other matters have had on me.
