1. GC: You will have before you [4987], in the office of the ..., Co., ..., N.C., and her associations at ..., N.C., and with David E. Kahn of New York, who is now present in this room. You will answer the questions which I will ask you regarding the mental, material and spiritual welfare of this body.
2. EC: We have the body and those associations of the body in the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of same. Ready for questions.
3. (Q) Should the body remain in ... for best future happiness? (A) With this, there are many conditions to be considered; not only that the body mentally is not satisfied with present surroundings or environment, but that the body is not satisfied with self as to physical and personal appearances with individuals, groups, and with conditions in general. Then these, as a whole and as individual aspects, are to be considered.
Being, first, naturally of a reserved nature (apparently), yet inwardly often rebelling at convention forced upon self mostly by self's own opinion of self. The personality may be entirely changed would the body mentally DESIRE to do so, and would the body desire in earnest to be away from present surroundings, from present environment; though home ties are innate, and first of all, the body's greatest success will be in the creating of a home that is really a home; yet many things are to be experienced by the body before such would be consummated to the best advantage of self, for self's development, and for that as may be gained by the body as respecting that best in the development of same.
Then, the first consideration must be as to the inner desires of self, and that the body wishes, desires, is willing, to give self in the attaining of same. Then these may be answered in the positive; for, FOR the best development, FOR the best conditions, as seen, it WOULD be

well, WOULD be better, would the body change its environment, its surroundings, for the better development of same.
How, then, is this to be accomplished? Changing scenes doesn't necessarily mean changing environment. Changing environment doesn't necessarily mean changing mental scenes; for one may live in hopes and contemplation under very abstruse environment and have a BEAUTIFUL existence. One may live in WONDERFUL surroundings to some, but the introspection makes the life a drudge.
In changing then, for this body, first self must be made into that of desire, physically, mentally, that the INNATE PURPOSES may be accomplished, and that it, the self, will be WILLING, READY, to DO that, that will BRING to "mine own consciousness" that NECESSARY for the better development in WHATEVER channel that is best for "mine own development".
This may be accomplished through a change of scene AND environment in what may be termed a six months to nine months finishing school. Now this may be termed rather peculiar for one of the ABILITIES of this body, yet this is the character of environment that would be NECESSARY for the best development of the body. Too long has the body been submerged by domination. Rather that the body itself would find itself FREE; for the TRUTH shall make you free indeed!
Such environment may be had in a great city, or in those surroundings where such accomplishments may be obtained. Not that the body isn't accomplished, but in such environment that the PRESENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS may be accentuated IN the manner that will give the ability of the INDIVIDUALITY shining THROUGH the PERSONALITY of this body we are speaking of, [4987].
This may be accomplished under such direction as the Semple's school, and nine - six to nine months would bring about a different BEING, almost entirely.
Then, with such an environment, there will come the way, the manner, in which the BODY-physical may be made, as it were, into a more BEAUTIFUL body. Those conditions that the body is sensitive of may be easily overcome when proper eliminations and the proper cosmetic applications are used in and through such training as is a portion of such a finishing school; and then, through these same channels, there will come those that will meet the body, and the

relations of home ties will be brought in such a way and manner as to round out a full, well expended, well LIVED, and a PURPOSEFUL life, bringing peace, joy, happiness, to many. TWO would bless such a union. No more. And these will bring happiness to many.
4. (Q) How can David E. Kahn help her to make a proper union? (A) Assisting in bringing about that consciousness of the desire to so fit self for that which will bring less condemnation of self, and a better application of the abilities as are innate in the individual.
5. (Q) Where will she meet the man she will marry? (A) That depending upon the application of self as respecting that as has already been given. Use plain judgment, as this has been outlined! This may be accorded to the body only as the body will accord self to the conditions necessary to prepare self for the proper meeting. The body MIGHT be wed to one in the factory and round about, but that is not the proper development for the individual. That as has been outlined for the body would bring that into the life that would be worthwhile. That necessary is the desire within self to FIT self to BRING self in a position to mete out a FULL life; not a humdrum one!
6. (Q) Is there a remedy for removing the hair on the face? (A) In cosmetics, yes - with the proper application of those things as will bring about the physical betterment, as is seen from entering such a place as has been given - with the proper application of those eliminations as necessary to the body, and then the application of those depilatories that may be used for such conditions. These are the NATURAL RESULTS of proper care, first, of the physical body.
Do as we have given, and we will find there will be brought a fullness of purpose, a new experience, a purposefulness of vision, as has not YET been attained by the body.
Do not condemn self for that seeming condition nature has meted. Rather prepare self, and determine that self WILL use that IN HAND to EXPAND into a more usefulness to others, in the better preparation of the innate abilities to not only PLEASE, but even CHARM those that are of the opposite sex, to the proper relation and understanding of one to another. We are through for the present.
