business. Then gently and very seriously Denise again asked if I would take her place!!

Incredulous as it was, the idea suddenly occurred to me that Denise was suggesting that I take her place in the shop by impersonating a woman! Denise replied that was exactly what she desired me to do.

I was so shocked by the idea that I just stood and looked at her. She presented such a desperate and forlorn picture that without stopping to think of the possible consequences I replied that I would try. Even to this day I have no idea of why I gave a yes answer so quickly.

Denise lit up like a little child at Xmas and said she knew I could do the impersonation. She had found a picture of me dressed in women's clothing while I was in college!

Denise looked at me and said, “We may as well start on your ward- robe by getting the necessary measurements. By tonight we should have a good start on your clothing. As soon as we have all of the measure- ments we will go out shopping."

Still in a state of confusion I followed Denise into the bedroom where I was instructed to get a tape measure out of a drawer and then to strip. In a very short time Denise had taken all the measurements she needed. "Rita will you please get my coat we are going out!"

I stopped dead in my tracks upon being called Rita and turned to look back at Denise but just shrugged my shoulders and went for her coat.

True to her word, Denise and I made a whirl-wind shopping tour the likes of which I have never seen before. After returning to the Apartment and carrying everything inside I was astounded at the large quantity of items which had been purchased. The boxes contained high heels, nylons, panty girdles and panties, waist cinchers and bras, also two wigs which we had picked up at the beauty shop. Several other boxes contained skirts, blouses, dresses and white uniforms for use at the beauty shop itself. About the only thing Denise did not buy was make- up, but that was present in the apartment in great quantity.

After making sure that everything had been brought in from the car we sat down to a short lunch after which Denise suggested that I go into the bathroom and shave my arms, legs, chest and all other hair
