to pick up the results but when I walked in there was one of my wife's friends a near neighbor, who greeted me by name! The clerk didn't realize anything was wrong, and was a little distressed when I just paid up, excused myself and never went NEAR there again!

Another time, Paula elected to go home dressed. That was fine till I noticed in the rear-view mirror a car following — and realized that a girl alone, driving slowly through the center of town at 2 AM, might be expected to have an ulterior motive which I did. NOT! So, around the block we went without losing him, then a devious route that even led across a state line and finally just pulled in our driveway, where Paula pulled off her heels and left them behind as she rushed barefoot into the house. The would-be seducer was left sitting baffled at the curb, and is still probably trying to figure out what went wrong.

The latest escapade was a visit to a Merle Norman salon, where I requested some advice on make-up. The result was a demonstration - on ME, in male clothes! The girl was most enthusiastic, even the manager joining in, and did such a fine job that I didn't have the heart to wipe it off - so I drove the 20 miles to Sheila's in full bloom. It was an odd feeling, but Avis was the only one who spotted it. Then another problem: my beard had been bad enough at the salon, and was now intolerable. Sheila assured me her electric razor would remove the whiskers and not the make-up. She was right, so "Miss Norman's" paint-job lasted the whole evening including the long drive home. (As a safety precaution, my hostesses are always primed when I set off into the dark dressed, to explain to some over-zealous cop on the phone that I was at a masquerade party with them and didn't have time to "clean-up".)

As you can plainly see Paula has developed into quite a creature. She is even beginning to become somewhat of a lady. On a recent visit she lost her brother's watch. He couldn't find it anywhere and he certainly wouldn't think of looking in a lady's purse, but there it was, safe and sound.

Seriously, however, Paula is still quite juvenile. She is tremendously proud of her huge but "perfect" body and legs. She thinks she could win all sorts of beauty contests and gets bolder and bolder in her adventures. Here is where Paula thanks FPE. She
