and really felt relaxed. Nobody stared at us, for why should they? We were just two women with a free afternoon.

Then it happened my first test. We arrived at the model homes and parked the car. To get to the model homes we had to walk through the main sales office. I wondered to myself - will I really pass? What would I do if someone stares at me?

We entered the office. A salesman approached and asked if he could be of some help. Marge asked where the price lists and floor plans were. I kept a few steps behind her, trying to be as inconspicuous as I possibly could. He showed us a table where they were; we gathered a copy each and went out to the models.

I had passed my first test, but I still wondered what was yet in store for me. We must have been the only people looking at these homes today because we did not see anyone else through all eight model homes. In one model I laid my purse down for a second, started out the door, and then realized its absence. I made a mad dash to retrieve it. We then continued on our way to the next house. We spent close to an hour there, even returning to one model we both liked, to get a second look.

We discussed what we would say if a salesman would approach us again as we returned to the office. Fortunately no salesman appeared. They in all probability felt it would be a waste of their time to talk two women, as these women, in most probability, were not about to make a purchase. We walked through the office, out to the car, and away we went.

Two interesting things happened as we returned to the car. First, my wife, who was driving, unlocked my door before going to the driver's side and open her door. I asked Marge why I was given this consideration and she answered that when she and her girl friend go out they extend this courtesy to each other. My wife was thus treating me as if I were another woman.

From there we went to a second development. I was feeling con- fidence in my femme self. I walked through the sales office without any reservations. I did not care who would be in that office, I was just going to be as feminine as I possibly could. I was actually disappointed to discover that there was nobody present. We picked up the floor plans for each model and continued on to the first house.
