anyone being sentenced. Some years ago one of our girls was trying on a dress in a shop, the police were called, she was brought to the station, the inspector told her not to do so any more and she was allowed to walk away.

I myself often go out when dressed and have dinner in first class restaurants and so far without mishap. I also drive my car and am not much afraid of police control. I will tell them that I am both male and a woman and then show my male license. If you behave properly when out in public, and that is of course a must, I find it difficult to think anything serious will happen. We have not tried it yet, but there is much to indicate that if an issue were made of it, the interior of a car would from a legal point of view, be considered as strictly private premises and that a FP driving or traveling in a car could not be considered to be causing public annoyance.

This is valid for Sweden and certainly for Denmark. In Finland it is different, a TV will most likely be sentenced if caught in public. The law against homosexuality is not yet abolished in that country and, as usual, the difference between it and TVism is not recognized.

In Stockholm there are some shops where we are accepted and re- spected, we can have a dress, a corset, a bra, made to measure, there are ladies hairdressers, beauty parlors where we can have treatment dressed, or as a man. We are trying to find more shops of this kind.

After reading several issues of TVia and Femme Mirror, it is strik- ing how our interests and delights are exactly the same on both sides of the Atlantic. There must be many more FPs in Scandinavia, we hope that at least some of them will come into contact with our club so that we can help them to a better understanding of themselves.

Great is our thankfulness and gratitude to Eva-Lisa. She really did something while we others were merely longing.

Our thoughts go also to all our sisters in U.S.A. you have done an immense work for our cause.

Ed. Note: This article has been in the files for some time but was, unfortunately, missed. It is therefore not a current report but it is interesting and a worthwhile contribution. Things are well organized over there now as can be seen from my "Expedition '69" report in TVia 59.
