After we got home from the doctor's office, my wife gave me a fit be- cause I hadn't told her years before, so she could help. She made over some of her clothes and some new dresses for me. We shopped for a wig and things I would need to make me a lady. She said, “If you are going to play lady, you're going to be as perfect as you were when you were a clown. I mean it.” We have no children and dressing wasn't any prob- Jem. She made me wear high heels in the house until the calves of my legs ached. I got so I would just as quickly put on a dress in the house as my regular clothes. I only own one pair of P.J.s to wear, in case we have overnight guests, the rest, you know what.

After finally reading Virginia's book, we found out about FPE and sent for an application, which was approved. I am now in the Florida Chapter and have met some wonderful people. Some of them are engin- eers, like myself, lawyers, doctors and just plain businessmen. Those of you who do not belong, "get with it and be involved. You'll enjoy it."

My wife says every woman would love to have another woman around the house every now and then, to girl-talk to, even if it is her dressed-up husband. I sincerely believe that our life together has been sweeter since she has accepted all of me, as I am. So, all of you girls that are afraid to tell your wife, try it, but don't drop a bomb out of the blue. Pick the right time. Make a pass at putting on her clothes, or a gown every now and then. Let her see how much you enjoy it. If she will let you dress at all you have your foot in the door. If when you are dressed you grab the broom, mop or dishrag and help her with the housework, you are in the groove to stay. Then, when you can. you can put on a dress, your hair up (if it's long enough) or a wig and make up on and enjoy yourself. Above all things, don't fight 'em, join 'em.

An executive whose work was too pressing Would ease it in time by his dressing

And by his slick make up

His office he'd shake up

When leaving, she left them all guessing.
