RANSVESTIA

action caused some frustration but was solved with good humor and seemed to further cement the friendship between these two. Fraulein M. stated that while the adjustment of and securing of hosiery presented no problem, the attachment of the brassiere in the back (in spite of the suppleness of the subject's arms) pre- sented a minor problem. It appeared difficult to capture the breasts in the cups while attaching the hooks and eyes in the back. At one time, Fraulein M. said that she would help hook up the bra in the back by guiding the subject's fingers. M. stated that this was a usual practice among girls, until they became fully accustomed to this operation. When the bra was secured, M. carressingly ran her hands over subject's breasts and remarked how firm and well formed they were. Subject flinched and his face and neck flamed red. M. apologized.

Subject was now wearing feminine clothing exclusively. He showed an active interest both in looking at and in discussing fashions. His warerobe, particularly lingerie, while polychrome also included white and black. Side buttoning panties of satin and silk were matched by lacy bras. Lace edged slips, half-slips and teddies in silk and satin were supplemented by dresses, both for- mal and casual, as well as by blouses, sweaters and skirts. Fraulein M. remarked on the purely feminine manner in which subject pulled a slip on over his head and smoothed it down the sides with his palms. He also had a habit of sensously smoothing his breasts after they were fitted into the bra. High heeled pumps, sandals and slippers were a must. At a later date subject remarked that he always wnated to wear heels, because the strain at the calf coupled with the insecurity of movement caused him to walk more daint- ily. He also, laughingly, stated that walking in high heels caused his breasts to bounce, a feeling which he enjoyed.

Fraulein M. closed her remarks by stating that by the end of this period, subject was, to all intents, a woman, as regards cloth- ing, walk, posture and gestures. She further stated that the only residual masculine trait that she could discover was that subject was too conservative in dress and enthusiasms.
