150 approximately. This gives me a total of some 350 TV's I've known in the past 15 years. And be- lieve me, there are not two dozen married TV's whose transvestism is NOT a big problem at home. That leaves some 300 who are forever moaning their lack of freedom to dress at home, and saying how happy they are when the wife has to take a trip or go to the hospital so they can dress in freedom. The other 25, not included in this statement, are the bachelor TV's who just chuckle every time they hear the married ones' lamentations. Diana Joyce then proceeds to admit: "If I had known what I was going to have to face before I had gotten married, I, my- self would have gotten married anyway. I must be fair however, and say that I don't know whether my wife would have." And, my dear Diana Joyce, this last observation contains the fly in the ointment. When I talk about the troubles of the married TV's I am not referring exclusively to HIS troubles. I have very definitely in mind THE WIFE'S troubles. Cross-dressing is to us a source of joy, pleasure, ecstasy, or whatever, and in itself it compensates for the heartaches and problems it creates in our lives. But most TV wives, even if they go along with our dressing, admittedly, cannot possibly re- ceive as compensation an equal sense of joy. So in the best of cases the wife is shortchanged. Why

should we knowingly cheat her out of her full share of married joy? Let me describe a mute scene that took place not long ago at a TV party here in the East. There were several couples. Among them a TV and wife who were socializing for the first or second time in their lives. I watched the wife throughout the evening. She smiled, but it was an uncomfortable smile, she was tense, ill at ease, and trying not to show it. Then, towards the end of the evening, her hubby went upstairs and half an hour later returned in his masculine uniform. You should have seen that girl's eyes! How they lit up! How whe reached to him as if saying you have come back!..

I was also taken to task in no uncertain terms
