the tension building up in him. He has to have relief and he can't get it the way he really wants to, so he does it by drinking, or burying himself in his work. Some, I'm sorry to say, even go on dope. If he's married, and you'd be surprised at the number of Transvestites that are

he takes it out on his family. He's nervous and irritable. His family doesn't realize what's wrong because he has never been able to tell them. They just think he's cranky from worry and overwork." I paused and lit a cigarette.

Judy looked perplexed and said, "I think I'm beginning to understand a little, but there is much more, isn't there?"

"Yes," I replied, "I'm just getting started."

"Let me think about what you've said while I work on you. Now keep quiet."

Neither of us said anything while she worked without stopping for about thirty minutes. She laid down the probe and stretched. So did I. “O.K. for now," she said, "Let's have another cup before we talk.” Neither of us said much until our cups were empty.

"It's early, yet,” Judy said, “and I know you have lots more to tell me; but if you told me everything now, I know I couldn't absorb it all. Let me mull over what you've told me so far. Then I'll be able to ask some intelligent questions tomorrow." She flashed that dazzling smile of hers and said, "I'll teach you makeup and dressing tricks and you can teach me to understand Transvestism we'll both be teachers and students!" Before I could answer, she leaned over and kissed me.

"O.K. I replied, I'll see you tomorrow

and thank you, for being you." I walked with her to the door and kissed her good-bye.

As I poured another cup, I thought about what I had told Judy. Al- though it was a little more blunt than I had intended, it was the truth and she had accepted it as such. I knew that her questions would not only help her to understand, but would help me tell her the things she had to know and understand. I felt that we were on firm ground and that our association would improve.

I ate a light supper, showered, shaved and started getting dressed to go to work. This time I chose a kelly green short formal and matching accessories but I decided on a copper-tone wig. Again, I felt as pretty

as a picture.
