table little pigeon holes we use to classify the individual facets of the reality we know. Mankind will have to broaden its mind in order to accept the new, the unexplainable the mysterious. As Vickie puts it, the difficulty of understanding extraterrestrial facts will push mankind into trying a little harder to understand itself, and that includes us.

Unfounded fears department--This applies to the girls who have heard of Susanna and the resort but hesitate to come out of their locked rooms. 1. "I've never dressed in front of others. I'11 feel silly. I'm awkward and ungraceful, the others are pretty and experienced. "**** Answer: You should see some of the girls, in our group! We are all awkward and ungraceful at first (Some take longer than others to act gracefully). The fun is in trying to improve ourselves in the company of others. An unwritten law among the girls is never to hurt others with nasty remarks (unless it is done in fun). A good sense of humor is an indispensable item in a girl- s baggage. 2. "My wardrobe is awfully skimpy and inadequate." **** Answer: That's the way we all get started. It takes time to build up a wardrobe. As a matter of fact it is better to wait be- fore buying large quantities of clothes until you've met the rest of the girls. You'd be surprised at the amount of practical tips and free advice you'll get from the group. How to buy, what to buy, where to buy. What is practical and what is impractical. You'll save hundreds of dollars which many girls have wasted on blind buying sprees. 3. "I don't know a thing about makeup. I look grotesque. The rest of the girls look so pretty and natural." **** Answer: Don't be fooled by the pictures you see in print. There are very few who look that good when you meet them in person. It just happens that Edith is a good photographer. Most of the Eastern pictures which appear in TRANSVESTIA bear the Edith trade- mark. Anyway, our purpose in getting together has nothing to do with outdoing Gina Lollobrigida. Of course we try to look our best and in this we have the eager help of the more experienced girls. We learn a great deal by observing others and thus we are constantly improving our appearance. "But what about my wig. It's cheap and looks messy."****Don't worry about that. You should. see the lumps of hair that many girls show up with their first meeting with the group. Marie will give you wonderful free advice and will help you fix your messy hairpiece until you are able to purchase one that's a little better. 5. "Can I trust the group? Am I safe in joining them?"****This is perhaps the biggest fear in the mind of the lone girls who hesitate to contact us. Family
