sounds then all you can do is listen. If called on to speak for some reason then do your best and speak in a subdued tone but so it will be understandable (or you will just have to repeat it). You will find that speaking slowly is better than speaking fast. When a woman speaks fast-she usually is angry. Anyhow, let the men do the talking...

You may

FIGURE: The shape of the figure you desire is up to you. purchase pads for the hips, derriere, and the bust. I leave all this up to how rounded you wish to look but for the bust I say this: try to appear what the bust size should be according to a chart of women's sizes. Don't look too small nor too large.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Most TVs are taller or larger than women so clothes in the large sizes are hard to find. I have catalogs from SPIEGELS in Chicago and one from NATIONAL BELLA HESS in Kansas City. These may help you..the latter even carries women's gloves in size 10. I find that a Polaroid camera helps to give me an idea of what I look like to others. I can dress, take a picture and see it in 10 seconds and have a good idea of how I look. For nicer pictures I use a camera that can take color. Some of these pictures in color are most satisfying.

If you are intent to look and act as a perfect women I might sugg- est this: I have found that a color movie camera will give you a truthful answer to what you look and act like in front of others.. of course you need a friend or wife to take the pictures. Plan an act of some sort for yourself and then act it out while the other person takes the pictures with the movie camera. Try to be natural and relaxed while you go through the film. Do a little at a time and do several things. When you see the film projected you will be able to see all your errors. We need not be concerned about what you do properly as that needs no attention. Concentrate on the errors and then take more pictures to see if you are progress- ing.

I hope some of these help. If you find just one suggestion of any help I shall be glad. Perhaps you care to write me and I will go. further into detail. A letter in care of Virginia will reach me.

May all your wishes come to you,

Betty.
