eTliecTs To several handy causes, ranging Trom The diTTiculTy oT Travel- ling To The homes oT poTenTial Triends, To The misundersTanding on The parT oT her TaTher. NoT once did she consider The TacT +ha+ she was looking aT The world Through a micro- scope - analyzing, diTierenTiaTing, buT never being. BeTore you read TurTher liT you have venTured To come This Tarl be assured ThaT alThough Jeanne Frank- lin is TwenTy-Tive per-cenT girl and sevenTy-Tive per cenT complex she is human. And being human, she soon reached The poinT where cold, cal- culable TacTs could no longer saTisTy her conTused mind. One day, aTTer having noTiced a creeping sTaTe oT indiTierence in Jeanne, her Teacher lwho had iusT become The EasTern lv1en's champion Tor evicTing elderly ladiesl suggesTed To her parenTs ThaT perhaps an inTormal chaT wiTh a psy- chiaTrisT Triend oT his mighT be very helpTul. And so wiTh a skepTical convicTion and an uncerTain hand, Jeanne open- ed The door and sTepped inTo The oTTice oT Dr. Daniel NorThrop, DocTor oT PsychiaTry. Miss Franklin, l presume, The genTle yeT auThoriTaTive voice oT Dr. NorThrop spoke. Jeanne had no idea whaT To expecT and so was neiTher shocked nor indiTTerenT To The ap- pearance oT Dr. NorThrop. l-le was a small, prim man wiTh whife hair swirl- ing abouT his head like an ArcTic snowsTorm. l'm very glad To meeT you Doc- Tor, was Jeanne's unsTeady reply. Now Then, conTinued The DocTor, my Triend Tells me someThing is on your mind. Perhaps if you Tell me abouT iT l'll be able To help you. By This Time Jeanne was lying on a com- TorTable couch and Dr. NorThrop had pad and pencil in hand. Really DocTor, There's noThing wrong, I . . . Aha, inTerrupTed The DocTor, ThaT's The TirsT clue To your prob- lem. As he said This, Dr. NorThrop quickly ioTTed someThing in his noTe- book and Then looked up To Tind a perplexed look on Jeanne's Tace. DocTor, l'm aTraid l don'T under- sTand, she guesTioned. Well, conTinued The DocTor, you say There's noThing wrong wiTh you, buf iT is an esTablished TacT ThaT There is deTiniTely someThing wrong wiTh everyone, and ThereTore iT a person says ThaT noThing is wrong, well Then, There is someThing wrong wiTh ThaT person. lT is only The people who admiT ThaT There is someThing wrong wiTh Them ThaT have noThing wrong wiTh Them. l-lowever if There is noThing wrong wiTh a person and ThaT person conTinually Tries To con- vince oThers ThaT There is someThing wrong wiTh him, Then There is some- Thing very deTiniTely wrong wiTh ThaT person. ls ThaT clear? Jeanne sTared blankly aT The Doc- Tor wiThouT saying a word. No maTTer, conTinued The Doc- Tor, iT's iusT someThing ThaT helps us make a living. BuT To conTinue, did your moTher ever lock you in The closeT? The absoluTe earnesTness in which The guesTion was asked shocked Jeanne. OT course noT, she replied. !5xha, nodded The DocTor, an abnormal home liTe. Really DocTor, l Think This is all very silly. Suppose l were To ask you if your moTher locked you in The closeT. WhaT would you say? Miss Franklin, replied The Doc- Tor angrily, wheTher or noT my moTher locked me in The closeT is irrelevanT. IT is you we are discussing. BuT iT you musT know, he conTinued in a soTTer voice, my moTher never cared abouT me ThaT much To spend Time locking me in The panTry7 we were a poor Tamily, he explained, and we couldn'T aTTord a closeT. By now Jeanne was inTrigued by This Tunny liTTle man. Come now, she said, every moTher loves her children, she . . . BeTore she could Tinish The senTence, lConTinued on Page 92l I7 if YQ?
