ago I attempted my own method to develop my breasts and it left a permanent bulge but not enough to be called breasts. I would love to have the real thing and even now do special exercises to help the bustline. God only knows what I'd do if I ever developed any!

This weekend I'm removing my hair on my legs so they look more beautiful under my stockings. I've done it many times before and the feeling is fantastic. Angie doesn't like it when the hair on my legs starts to grow - it is rather rough. I would prepare myself rather well for a meeting of the Tri-Sigma chapter in the La area. It is an unwritten law with me that I would never meet another sister unless I was dressed and I expected the same from ny sister Tvs. So, now you know much about me. I expect you receive letters like this from most who first contact you and pour their hearts out but this is how I feel although I usually only divulge such things to close friends who are Tvs. (Wendy, Yucca Valley, Ca)

Dear Carol: My name is Greta. I saw the article in FORUM and wanted to write right away. I was an officer in Vietnam and saw combat while there. Even though I have a rather mascu- line background, I still like to wear feminine clothing. But I can not locate any Tvs here in this city although I am able to share my feelings with my beautiful and wonderful understanding wife. What a blessing she is in this respect. She helps me locate clothes that will fit me and even gave me my name. I hope to hear from you soon. I want others to meet Greta. My wife, Annette, is only a few points away from Sainthood. But i would like to join Tri-Sigma Sorority. (Greta, Santa Barbara, Cal.)

Dear Carol: This is a new experience for me and I don't exactly how to handle it. I am 55 years old and started dressing just five years ago. I have progressed from a single experinece of wearing a nightgown to full dress with makeup. It has become a part of my life that I cannot control nor escape. I have been in the military service for over 27 years and saw action in three wars. I do not understand why I engage in this activity but it is necessary that I do. My wife knows of my crossdressing but does not like it. I have tried to talk to her about it but with no suc- cess. I have a lovely home, excellent job, four grown children, three in college, and everything going for me. I have become very depressed about my 'habit' at times but still, I cannot help
