and theoretically you are supposed to have to pay U.S. customs on ar- rival. However, I have never yet had to pay any customs duty: all the packages I've ever gotten are stamped "Passed Duty Free" so I guess the United States Customs folks have a warm spot in their hearts for TV's!
Obviously in a short article like this I cannot go into all the minor variations on the various sizes, and we could really get tangled up if we tried to analyze the Small-Medium-Large-Extra Large categories, because these often seem to me to have been based on somebody's grandmother's cousin's maid's best guess! Also, I have omitted shoes and hose because these follow fairly closely to boy sizes.
Remember, if you're going to be a girl, be a lady-and you'll look better and feel better wearing pretty clothes that fit properly!

CALL ME MADAM!
by Janet Hamilton 5-H-21 FPE
Long ago and far away
In another generation
A man sat down to work one day
To discover radiation.
But X-Rays weren't well understood
So he worked within their range.
The Rays came through the shield of wood
And worked a subtle change.
The young man now was quite perplexed
Though he felt no distress,
For his system was upset and vexed
Unless he wore a dress.
So into the lab he came quite free,
In skirts and heels and hose;
While his colleagues turned their heads to see,
The young man powder his nose.
A lad in the rear was the first to stir,
They say his name was Adam.
Said the lad, "It's strange to call you Sir," Said he, "Then call me Madam.”
