TV's who are still in the "locked room" stage--the solitary ones--are, to my mind--the little girls of the TV world. They can only speculate as to what they would do in the company of other sisters, what they would feel in social life, what they would do in specific situations. None of us really knows what "she" will do until we give her the oppor- tunity, until we place her in a variety of situations. Then, and only then, we will be able to know our true selves, the real personality of "the woman within". To be a TV is like giving birth to a baby girl, a baby girl who will become our daughter and sister at the same time as she grows up.

At the resort in the Catskill mountains, we have some swings, originally placed there for children. A few weeks ago, Dorothea from Chicago, who was our guest, discovered with Susanna that it was marvellous fun to sit on those swings and "catch up" so to speak with that part of our girlhood which had been denied to us. That's why every type of act- ivity, no matter how trivial it may seem, takes on a fassin- ating quality when we allow our "girl-selves" to perform them. Iver try to mow a lawn in a playsuit, with the wind blowing your long hair over your face? Ever try watering the plants in a garden while wearing a print dress that is as pretty as the flowers themselves? Ever sat at a table in the company of 6 or 10 "girl friends" and let a wave of bub- bling fun permeate the entire scene? Ever some down for breakfast to meet other girls who are also wearing negligees? Somehow that cup of coffee takes on a truly heavenly flavor. Do you picture yourselves meeting non-TV men and women who accept you in their company and who even invite you to their home for a game of cards? People who are immensly tolerant and full of fun, who REALLY like you in your feminine per- sonality? The TV's who have been at the Chevalier D'Fon resort can tell you what fun it is to drive about 7 miles from the resort in the evening to visit cousin Mary and cousin John (Marie's relatives) who are just as wonderfully under- standing as Marie herself, and who welcome "the girls" with complete informality, who make them feel at home and enjoy their company because as they put it: "They are such a won- derful bunch of happy people."
