Something is making my eyes water, some dust no doubt. I fumble in my purse for that pink hankie I had been keeping so carefully. I tried to think of next year, the gleeful joy as we meet our friends again, the compliments on a new dress, the shyness of the new ones.

"Goodbye Annette, goodbye

how can I ever thank you?"

For each of us this is a heartbeat in time, so clean and pure, so un- complicated, so cherished. We would always look back on this in wordless amazement.

Goodbye... see you next year . . . in the springtime, in the month of My name is Maureen, I'm a woman.

May.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Readers are always inquiring about places where large size dresses, shoes and other things can be bought and tried on or where wigs can be styled to the head by understanding people. Many of you have found places like this in the larger cities. Why don't you put in a re- quest to them to run a small 1⁄4 page ad in TVia at $15.00 per issue to let other readers know about them. Take a copy of TVia down and show them the ads for Electrologists to get an idea of how much in- formation you can squeeze into that space. If they are willing take the necessary information and their check and forward them to me and we'll get it in the next available issue. Certainly there are places in Chicago, New York, Houston, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Boston, etc. who could take care of more of our people.

While talking about advertisements for outsiders may I take a few lines to call attention to the fact that the merchandise now available through Chevalier, and which used to be on a separate Merchandise Sheet, is now listed on the last two pages of each issue. These items were all developed by your lil' 'ol editoress herself for her own use originally and because they served my purposes I made them available to others so take a quick look and give a little consideration to some of the items. Particularly recommended are the Realistic Falsies and jelly kit if you really want to put up a good front, and the Make Up re- mover if you have trouble getting it off. Both of these items are pretty nearly a must for any FP.
