RANSVESTIA
RA
Although Alan hardly expected to sleep after such an exciting day, day, combined with the stimulating effect of the different bed and the soft glamorous gown in which he was attired, he dropped off im- mediately and knew nothing more until his mother shook him awake. She suggested he not bother to dress, but after washing, to put on his matching peignoir and join her for breakfast. Similarly as with the previous day, Mrs. Moore dropped in before they had left the table. Alan was surprised that Richard had not accompanied his mother, but under the impression that the two women had matters to discuss, made excuses and busied himself in the next room with the Sunday paper that had just arrived. A consciousness of the exciting, and to him, still unaccustomed garment he was wearing, made it difficult for him to concentrate on what he was reading, in addition he was terribly curious as to what the two women were discussing of which he could hear but faint murmurs. Finally he heard the outside door close and sped into the kitchen to learn what had transpired. As he had expected, Richard had told his mother of last night's conversa- tion regarding their appearing in public dressed as girls. Mrs. Wright then expressed her views on the harmful effects of too much secrecy and the importance of both boys learning to adapt naturally to their new roles which included an occasional appearance in public fully dressed as girls. Finally Mrs. Moore agreed, but with certain reserva- tions to be spelled out later as to times, places, frequencies, etc. that would govern such occasions, all of which Mrs. Wright approved. She then mentioned her plans for "Jenny's" vacation and suggested the possibility of "Betty" coming along. Mrs. Moore was more than pleased with the idea, although she would miss her son very much, but would leave the decision up to Richard.
The next day being Monday, and a school day at that, Alan abrupt- ly returned to earth and his former way of life. At breakfast that morning he voluntarily offered to forebear entirely from dressing during the week, restricting this to weekends only until the end of the school year which was just three weeks away. He had a series of exams to face before the end of the term, and it would be best to avoid anything that would distract him from his studies. So the weeks passed before vacation and the promised trip to which Richard had since eagerly agreed. Now the two friends walked to and from school each day, each looking forward to the weekends when they could end their self-imposed prohibition on dressing as they wanted. Saturdays and Sundays they visited back and forth through their gardens
