go into another room and remove my clothes and put on a dressing gown that she had placed there for me. She said that the dress- maker would be here within a few minutes to measure me for my underwear. I said that this was ridiculous, that I didn't need to be measured for anything. My underwear was fine and I would wear it under the dress. She said that that wouldn't do-that this was THE BALL of the year and everyone always went all out with their costumes and all of the men invited would be visions of fem- ininity. They would be dressed in the very latest fashions from the skin out. Mary said that if I were to continue to go with her that I would have to do it her way.

She also gave me a beautiful pair of pink panties, which I could see no need for inas- much as I had the panty girdle on, but I put them on anyway. I then tried on several pairs of shoes which she had brought out and finally decided that the 12B's would be the most comfortable as I might be dancing all evening.
