What is the key to the enigma7 Dr..
Prince thinks he has found it.
.. In 1893 Miss Beauchamp, as she
originally was constituted, was nurse
in hospital One night, while sitting IN
her room, the face Of a man suddenly
appeared at her window. 1t was a
friend who had known her since child
hood and who had been q sort of pro-
moter to her. She beckoned him to go
down stairs and met him on the door
step. He was on his way to New York
and had wandered to the hospital
grounds. In a spirit Of fun he had
climbed the fire escape and found him
celf looking into Miss Beauchamp's
room. The Improperly and dramatic
nature OF the proceeding acting upon
Miss Beauchamps fine nervous organi-
cation gave her shock from which she
never recovered.
This incident says DR.. Prince, dis
integrated her. Certain components OF
her personality became disintegrated
from the rest. Certain local areas OF
her brain have gone to sleep. Her origi-
nal self became modified
