With the growing development of trade and cultural relations between the two planets, the Fizbians on Earth were an ever-increasing number. But they were not the only readers of "Helpfully Yours." Reprinted in the parent paper, it was read with edification and pleasure all over Fizbus. Everyone wanted to learn more about the ancient and other-worldly Terran culture. The handbook, _A Brief Introduction to Terrestrial Manners and Mores_, owed much of its content to "Helpfully Yours." A grateful, almost fulsome, introductory note had said so. But the column truly deserved all the praise that had been lavished upon it by the handbook. How well she had studied the thoughtful letters that filled it and the excellent and well-reasoned advice--erring, if it erred at all, on the side of overtolerance--that had been given in return. Of course, on Earth, spiritual adjustment apparently was more important than the physical; you could tell that from the questions that were asked. A number of the letters had been reprinted in an appendix to the manual. _New York_ _Dear Senbot Drosmig:_ _When in contact with Terrestrial culture, I find myself constantly overawed and weighed down by the knowledge of my own inadequacy. I cannot seem to appreciate the local art forms as disseminated by the juke box, the comic strip, the tabloid._ _How can I help myself toward a greater understanding?_ _Hopefully yours,_ _Gnurmis Plitt_ * * * * * Dear Mr. Plitt: Remember, Orkv was not excavated in a week. It took the Terrestrials many centuries to develop their exquisite and esoteric art forms. How can you expect to comprehend them in a few short years? Expose yourself to their art. Work, study, meditate. Understanding will come, I promise you. Helpfully yours, Senbot Drosmig * * * * * _Paris_ Dear Senbot Drosmig: _To think that I am enjoying the benefits of Terra while my wife and little ones are forced to remain on Fizbus makes my heart ache. Surely it is not fair that I should have so much and they so little. Imagine the inestimable advantage to the fledgling of even a short contact with Terrestrial culture!_ _Why cannot my loved ones come to join me so that we can share all these wonderful spiritual experiences and be enriched by them together?_ _Poignantly yours,_ _Tpooly N'Ox_ * * * * * Dear Mr. N'Ox:
