She removed a tweezer from her purse and for a while plucked the hairs of his brows shaping them to a gentle curve. Then she applied a brown eyebrow pencil to them extending them which seemed to completely change the shape of his eyes. After applying a light touch of powder to his face to hide the redness, she applied a pink lipstick to his lips.

"This will have to do for now, since I did not have time to get everything you will need, but you don't look too unbelievable even with this slight makeup. One more thing, and then we can go downstairs and join Dr. Jardin for dinner."

One more package was opened and it contained a shoulder length wig, blonde to match the natural color of Allen's hair. This Millie proceeded to place on his head and to touch up with a comb.

"This is my personal, favorite wig and I hope that you will take good care of it so it won't be damaged," she said. "We were lucky that I had just had it set. It comes in handy when a girl goes swimming or gets caught in the rain!"

As he arose, Allen could feel the pressures of the unfamiliar garments he was wearing. "Before we go downstairs, could I see how I look?" he inquired.

Millie led him to the bathroom which had two full length mirrors on two sides as well as a full width mirror across the double sinks. "All right honey," she said, "you can now look at what Millie has wrought, and look well, for there will be many changes before too much time has passed."

The mirror reflected a somewhat awkward looking female, neither attractive, nor unattractive but he liked what he saw. It was someone who could be assumed to be a girl unless one inspected very closely.
