have a cocktail with him. With a rather sheepish look I made the admis- sion and then excused myself and retired for the night. It felt good to remove the tight girdle and the high heels. My feet were sore but I had noticed that they were able to take the high heels for longer periods of time without becoming sore beyond toleration. My thoughts that night were those of a content and satisfied person who seemed to have at last found her place in life.

Early the next day I arose, got dressed and went to work. At lunch Jack asked me to accompany him but I declined on the basis that I had to run an errand for Paul. Actually this was true because I planned on going out to the Finance Company to pick up my check which had come in.

The trip out to get the check was uninteresting. When I arrived at the office, everyone was gone to lunch, but one clerk who scarcely had been hired when Denise and I had the accident. I identified myself as Pauls sister-in-law and then she got the check for me and had me sign a re- ceipt for it. I momentarily panicked as I was sure that my signature would be recognized but I managed to disguise it enough that it was almost readable but not recognizable. I then took a taxi back to the beauty shop.

CHAPTER FIVE

In rapid succession the days began to fly by for me. Denise was able to return to work but since I was doing so well she stayed at home. Dur- ing this time I noticed that my breasts were developing very fast and that I could now wear an A cup in a bra without falsies. It became my habit to do this at home. Although I had now become determined that I would have my own real breasts and disliked the falsies I knew that I could not yet go without them as the decrease in my bust would be too noticeable. During the period of my employment (three months) I had not cut my hair and it was now long enough for Denise to begin to set and work with it. I was also looking forward to the day I could go without my wig. At long last it came and I made a small sensation at the shop as I had not told Jack or Marie that I planned to "cut" my hair. At first neither of them recognized me, and I felt sort of foolish. My anxious fears were soon set to rest as I realized that after the first initial shock everyone took my new hairdo for granted and seemed to think no more about it.
