, is the
one individual in a thousand, whose acquaintance just at present, would
prove most beneficial for you. Of course you have not seen her, you do
not know her; therefore, you cannot appreciate the peculiar charm of her
magnetic presence, or the force and dignity of her attractive character.
For this reason, a personal description, will fail to give you an
adequate idea of the noble type of womanhood which she represents.
"However, George, after these preliminary remarks, I hasten to assure
you, that as a woman, Honora Eloise Houghton, is a goodly person to
behold. One inch less than six feet in height, straight as an arrow,
broad of shoulder, and round of limb, swift of hand and foot, lithe and
willowy in every motion, her commanding figure possesses the grace and
beauty, of a Venus and a Diana combined. Her large, full, well turned
neck and throat, fittingly supports a symmetrical, well poised head, of
the same noble proportions. A long, thick, luxuriant growth of golden
hair, brilliant with changing hues of a coppery tinge, seemingly so
surcharged with electro-magnetic force, as to form a halo of sunshine
around both face and head, is her chief personal adornment. Her large,
oval face, well formed mouth, strong white teeth, firm chin, finely
arched, strongly defined brows, broad, smooth forehead, and straight
grecian nose; all denote a character of marked type and unusual force.
Full, clear, gray eyes, set well apart, beautifully and mirthfully
expressive, together, with a bright, ruddy complexion, are both
indicative of Miss Houghton's perfect health and strong, vital,
nervous-sanguine temperament. With this temperament and such a
magnificent physique, reinforced by wonderful psychic powers, she is an
ideal healing medium. The very personification of health! Such is the
potency of her magnetic force, that among the people of Solaris, cures
performed by the simple process of laying on of hands, have made her the
marvel of the village; they have won for her the confidence, respect,
admiration and love, of every member of the colony; man, woman or child.
"In conclusion, George, I may say with pride, that Miss Houghton
represents one of the noblest of women, which may be discovered, evolved
or grown by the co-operative farm. As an exponent of what the movement
can do for woman, she is a shining example, of which our people may well
be proud!
"Try to be patient with me, George! I have described this young lady,
