School life in Paris

LETTER 1

My dearest Ethel, I promised to write and tell you all about my new school life here, and having now had ten days of it, I can give you a very fair idea of what it is like. To begin with, it is about as unlike Mrs. Walker's establishment as anything you can possibly imagine.

There, if you remember, we were kept grinding all day long at History and Geography, and dry things of that kind; and, with the exception of the fact that she always saw to it that our stays were tightly laced, because mamma insisted on it, we were taught not to think about our clothes and we certainly never got the chance of being dressed in any but tlie very dawdiest style. It makes me quite shudder now to look back upon the awful shapeless garments, the ideous cotton gloves, and the low-heeled, broad-toed boots which we used to wear, when we were under her.

The head-mistress heref or " Madame,'' as we have to call her, is a tall handsome woman, of about thirty, exquisitely dressed in the very height of fashion, and in such a way as to show off to the very best advantage her really magnificent figure.

When I was first introduced to her, I was quite over-awed by her grandeur; while she on the hand was, I think, horrified at my ill-fitting and unfashionable clothes.

When however she learnt that Mamma was willing that she should spend upon my clothes any amount of money that she thought proper, she immediately carried me off, to have me fitted out in the latest Parisian style.

Our first visit was to the corsetiere, which revealed the fact that, in spite of my illfitting clothes, the waist beneath,them had been carefully laced-in, ever since I was ten years old, so that I was easily able to wear the smallest and longest-waisted pair of corsets that the corsetiere had in stock. This I found caused the greatest delight to Madame who takes a special pride in having all her pupils as small-waisted and as tightly-corsetted as herself. She accordingly ordered a pair with a considerably smaller waist measurement to be specially made for me, assuring me that, after a little training, my figure would easily bear the constraint, while she pointed out that all the other girls in the school would be mad with envy, as, in spite of their enthusiastic efforts, none of them could hope to attain to such a tiny waist for a long time to come.

We next bought a supply of exquisite under-linen and night dresses, the tryingon of which caused Madame still further to compliment me on the tine development of my bust and hips. The point over which she seemed in despair was my feet, which were still shod in the large square-toed English boots that I had worn ait Mrs, Walker's. When however these and my thick woollen stockings had been removed, and the latter replaced by dainty black cobwebs of open-worked silk, it became apparent that my feet were not so very large after all, and to my own astonishment as well as hers, a very small pair of patent-leather shoes, with the tiniest pointed toes and three-inch heels, which had excited my warmest admiration on first entering the shop, were slipped on my feet and buttoned Jyy the skilled chausseur without the slightest difficulty When she finally took me back, with my hair frizzed and curled in the latest style, by a firstrate coiffeur, and surmounted by a fashionable picture-hat with a suitable vei}t my figure displayed by a smart gown that made the most of every curve and undulation, my hands encased in lavender gloves? sewn with black, of the most exquisitely soft kid, and my feet in the, fairy-like shoes that I have already described, I simply did not recognise myself, when I first _ g — confronted the immense looking-glass, reaching to the ground, which I found one of the most conspicuous objects in my large and luxurious bedroom.

" As you are so much older than most of the new girls who come to me,'' Madame explained, u I am treating you as a senior pupil, and have given you a bed-room on the upper floor, where the five other senior and more grown-up girls sleep." This did not convey very much to me at the time, but I found out afterwards that it meant a good deal.

There are fifteen girls in the school, and I soon found out that among the elder ones the chief object of each was to out-do the rest in smartness of appearance-a form of competition which was warmly encouraged by Madame, and which came to a head particularly on sunday morning when we turned out ready dressed for Church.

Thanks to the excellent taste displayed by Madame in selecting my clothes, and thanks also to the skill of the maid who was assigned to me to dress me and do my hair, ¦- to — I Was enabled to turn out as well coiffee, gantee, thaussee and corsetee, as the smartest of them; in fact I was soon given to understand that I was considered the most fashionable looking of them all, and for this reason I was allowed the privilege of walking with Madame, whose splendour on Sunday morning was exquisite, without being in any way loud or in bad taste.

As we took our seats in Church I perceived that the eyes of every man in the place were fixed upon us, and it was very evident that the effect of our smart hats and gowns and dainty light kid gloves was not by any means thrown away.

On Sunday afternoon we went out for a Walk, and again attracted a good deal of attention, which evidently gratified Madame's vanity; but for my part I was more occupied in looking at the wonderful costumes worn by the lady-bicyclists. Many of the so-called knickerbocker-costumes are so tight as to be nothing more nor less than ct tights," and are worn in such a way as would be called positively indecent in England, a" s the ladies have no corsets underneath them, but ware only a belt* Here, however, especially those with full voluptuous figures, seem to think nothing of displaying them in this very open and suggestive manner and I observed that Madame was literally feasting her eyes on some of the very tight "culottes," especially when the hips and legs were of an extravoluptuous and appetizing kind.

One of the girls told me that the reason why bicycling is so fashionable among women just now, is that they have only recently found out that the front point of the saddle makes you feel awfully naughty as your legs work on each side of it. I could not make out what she meant at the time^ but I do now, as you will understand later on;

In the evening, after dinner, the five senior girls asked if they might go to bed early, as they were rather tired-a permission which Madame readily granted, with a smile, and suggested to me that I had better go too. When I. had been in my room a little while, all the five girls came crowding in, which I knew was contrary to rules; but they evidently had something on hand, so I said nothing. After a few remarks which I did not understand, one of the girls said to me " Have you ever heard of Lesbos? "

I replied that I had not.

" Well " she said " we five are the " Lesbian Society,'* and as you are on this floor we want you to join."

Having expressed my willingness, they told me to undress, and that they would return in a quarter-of-an-hour to proceed to my initiation. When they came back-this time in their dressing gowns-I was already in bed, in my chemise de nuit.

They came into the room very quietly and locked the door; then one of them said: 4t We are now going to initiate you into the mysteries of Lesbos." As she said this they all threw off their dressing-gowns, and I then saw, to my great astonishment, that they had divested themselves previously of everything else, so that they were now in a perfectly nude condition. Approaching me, they pulled back the bedclothes to the foot of the bed, so that I lay exposed, with nothing on but my night-dress. Then they began very gently to remove this also, and I let them do wondering what would happen next, so that presently 1 was lying myself stark-naked on the bed.

When they saw me in this state, they all gazed upon me with such eager eyes that I felt almost as much shame as 1 should have done if they had been men and felt myself blushing violently all over, as they proceeded to discuss my appearance in what I must admit were very flattering terms.

" What splendid round plump breasts I " said one.

" Her ventre is like a hill of polished marble! " remarked another, while others added:

" Did you ever see such big voluptuous thighs? ' " Ah! " but look at the u pussie " in between them! " kt What an exquisite coral-tinted " cunnieV' — 14 — with its plump sensuous lips and soft curling fringe of silky hair!

As they said this I felt my legs gently pulled apart, and I thought it best to submit, the more so as I was now rather curious to see what they would do. After they had succeeded in opening them, two of the girls, coming one on each side of the bed, bent over me and began to kiss the points of my ct tiddies," which stood up under the clever workings of their tongues, and they did it in such a way as to soon send a voluptuous thrill all over my body. Two more of them, now, placed their hands under my back, and with practised fingers proceeded to tickle my spine, thereby augmenting the pleasure caused by the kissing of my tiddies.

All the time this was going on, the remaining girl, named Bertha the eldest of us all, being eighteen, and having a splendidly developed figure-was keeping her eyes fixed longingly upon my pussie, which seemed to feel the intense force of her eager gaze.

Suddenly she flung herself upon the foot of the bed, and forcing my legs still further apart, she thrust her head down between. them, and in another instant I felt her long and ardent tongue, forcing its way between the throbbing lips of my excited u cunnie,'* tickling the top of the entrance to it with steady friction, and from time to timq exploring its inmost recesses, so as to stimulate every organ of it to the highest enjoyment of sensual pleasure.

The sensation which this caused me was so heavenly that it is impossible for me to describe; but I found a little later that there was an even greater intensity of pleasure to come.

As soon as she could feel that all the nerves in my ct cunt " were fully aroused and excited, she made a sign to the other girls, who immediately quickened the action of their tongues upon my tiddies, and of their fingers upon my spine, while she somehow managed to slip inside my pussie one of her fingers, with which she began to irritate it by rubbing the upper part of the inside of it with as much speed and energy as she could, thereby leaving her tongue free to act continuously on a small spot on the top of the entrance to my u cunnie" where it caused me a most delicious sensation.

With all these agencies at work, the thrill of pleasure, which was throbbing through every part of my body, became more and more intense, until at last I could scarcely bear it and was gnawing with my teeth my cambric handkerchief, when something, that the other girls called the liquor of love, escaped from my "cunnie " and I seemed to die away in a swoon of voluptuous enjoyment.

When I came to myself the girls were all gathered round me on the bed, some of them kissing me, and all congratulating me on the way in which I had gone through my initiation, for they declared that, while ij was going on, the lasciviousness of my movements and the voluptuous contorsions pf my body had clearly shown what an j" tensity of pleasure I was experiencing, — thereby proving that I was specially endowed by nature for appreciating the vicious enjoyment of sensuality.

I certainly never had had any idea of the lovely sensations I had just experienced and I thanked them warmly for the exquisite pleasure they had given me. I then kissed every one of the girls and begged of them to be allowed to do to one of them what Bertha had done to me; so they certainly found in me, as they had hoped, an ardent disciple of " Lesbianism " and before we parted for the night we had all six been swooning away in the madness of pleasure, each having done for another, with tongue and finger, what the eldest had previously done for me.

I am sure you must be very surprised with all I am writing to you and with the naughty words I have been using now and again; but, dear, as you are my best friend, I think 1 ought to tell you all what happens to me, the more so as I am anxious that you should know all about it as I want on the first occasion, to give you the same pleasures as I have experienced, and how could I describe what is taking place here without using the words I do and which I have learned since I am here, they, and many others even more naughty, being used by the girls in their daily intercourse.

Do you remember, dear, how in the old times you and I used to get into bed naked together and how the contact of our nude bodies seemed to give us rather a pleasing thrill of naughtiness; but if I had only known then what I have learnt now, what a perfectly lovely time we might have had together!

Never mind, dearest. When I come back for the holiday I will soon teach you what a skilful tongue and finger can do; and I expect that by that time I shall be a real expert, as the Lesbian Club have their meetings in one another's rooms every Sunday night, and I intend to practise as much as possible.

If you have never tried, you can have no idea what a perfectly heavenly feeling these different kinds of tickling in one's "cunnie" produce; it makes one feel as if all the time that one has been ignorant of this pleasure has been simply wasted; however, I am told, by one of the girls, that the older you are before you begin it, the better it is for your health, and the more intense the pleasure is, when it does come.

I my next letter I will tell you about the work we do, and how we spend our day, and also describe the next meeting of the "Lesbians " to which you may be sure that I am looking forward very much.

Since my u initiation " 1 have found myself very much more popular with the " seniors," for they were, at first, rather afraid that I meant to be t% pious," which would have interfered somewhat with their Sunday night meetings; but now that they have made sure that I am ready to be as naughty as ever they like, they have quite thrown off all feeling of constraint, freely showing me the most naughty pictures and most awful books, which they keep locked up in their rooms; and also the letters

which some of them have received, on the sly, from young men, who have fallen victims to their charms in Church.

Thanks to all this, I am no longer the innocent little monkey 1 was when I first arrived here; and though I have not yet seen a naked man, as some of the other girls have, 1 know now what it is that a man has got which we haven't, and also know the way in which he uses it; so you see that I have at any rate learnt something already that was not taught at old mother Walker's I Good bye, dearest.

Ever your loving

Blanche.
