dured. I knew then, why I liked my job so much. I knew then, too, that I loved this strange girl who had brought this about. I ran to her and put my arms around her and buried my head in her coat.

"Oh, Barb, III don't know what to say. I feel so strange and yet so wonderful!" I half sobbed. "I don't know why but I suddenly feel 'right' and with an odd sense of relief. Oh, I'd never have believed I could look so nice. Forgive me for being so silly. You knew what was best for us again. How can I ever thank you. Oh, Barb,” I gulped, “I love you."

Barb held me at arms length and looked at me with a new wisdom in her eyes and a love that I knew was only for me.

"My Darling, I've loved you for a long time. But strangely, I did not love you as a girl, I loved you as a man. I had to know if your love was as strange."

I looked up at my lover and knew that our lives were complete.

I repaired my makeup myself and asked Barb if we were going to dance that evening. For an answer, she brought me her mother's mink stole and an evening hand bag. I looked in it and found everything a girl needs for a date on the town. I stopped for another look in the mirror before joining Barb in the living room.

Yes, this was the real me. My tiny feet sparkled in the beautiful pumps. The dress fit like paper even at my waist that seemed so tiny in the corset that was now a part of me. I touched my hair as my eyes raised. I knew that I was lovely. My eyes seemed larger because of the makeup. My lips were inviting. I shivered with satisfaction and the thrill of finally knowing the real me.

I walked on air back to the living room where my handsome date was waiting. As if to make sure that I was not dreaming, I reached up and kissed Barb on the cheek. “My darling, is it really true? Is this really us?" I asked in wonder.

Barb grinned and shook her head: "Of course, you silly goose. Now put on this stole of mother's, and let's get going.'

""

I was thrilled as the soft fur caressed my arms. I could not stop the trembling as I felt Barb's strong hands on my shoulders. We went out to Barb's T-Bird and again, I felt only pink clouds as she helped me in.
