professional friends to come over with their wives and so we had a kind of informal professional seminar on the subject till about 1 A.M. I hope I was able to shed some new light on their understanding of the matter.

The following day having a little time, I walked down Victoria's main drag and found a little lingerie-corset shop. Thought I'd see what they had to offer that might be different to what we had in the states and went in. I didn't find anything in the lingerie line that I could use but they had a slew of bras on display and I thought I'd see about getting a sleeping bra. I really take a 38 but I couldn't find any 38As so I took a couple of 36As into the dressing room figuring that I could always buy a bra entender in the 5 and 10. I was in the process of trying one on when the sales girl unceremoniously pulled the curtain aside and came in to ask if she could help me. This was unexpected but I could do nothing but play it straight which I did and told her that I couldn't find a 38A and that nature really hadn't done too well by me and that was the size I needed. So she said she'd look for me. In a few minutes she returned with the only 38A in the house and helped me slip it on. Much to my satisfaction I filled it just nicely and thus had the pleasure of being fitted for my first bra. All young maidens have to have this experience so even tho I was a little late for the chronological aspect of maidenhood, being nearly 56, my development was quite "maidenly" to so on the gounds of "better late than never" I got quite a kick out of the whole thing. Of course it added to my self confidence just that much more that I could carry Virginia off under that intimate a situation.

Sunday evening I took the ferry Victoria to Seattle and had a pleasant trip. I was met at the dock this time by Marilyn's brother Dick as planned and excorted to the hotel. In addition to a gathering of some of the group at the hotel one night while I was there I was treated royally by several of the "brothers" being driven around and taken to lunch or dinner. I want to extend my thanks to them and also to Brendalyn and wife who had me over to Brennerton for dinner.

Having called up the Asst. Police Chief and learned that there was no law regarding cross dressing in Seattle I made an appointment to see him at 10:30 on the way to the airport on
