t's really hard to pick out my MOST inter- esting experience as a Tv because so many of my experiences have been truly interesting. But there is one event that does stand out in my mind.

As related some years ago in a previous issue of this maga- zine, I told of how I had a friend, a lady friend Helen. This kind- ly lady helped me so very much.

Helen did have a boy friend but he did not know of my crossdressing. This boy friend owned a small night club just outside of town. Whereas the night clubs in the city had to close at one in the morning, the night clubs in the county would just come into their own after that time. There were two hostesses at this particular night

numbered the civilians and there men around than women. This also meant that most of our customers were men and the opportunity to talk to a girl meant a lot to those servicemen.

My job was to wait on tables, take orders for drinks and food and I was also to keep an eye on the hat-check stand.

My hours were to be from ten in the evening until four in the morning, with Monday night off. My first night was to be a Wednesday evening which nor- mally was a slow time. So, slept several hours Wednesday afternoon in my room, attired in my usual pink nightie, with lots of lace. I arose about six and took a relaxing bath, then donned a pretty house coat, shaved, put on my face and then a cute page-boy wig. Then, Helen and I ate a leisurely meal, did the dishes and then it was time to dress for the evening. A person named Ed was to pick us up at quarter to ten.

Helen had to tell Ed about
