friends, little baby jackets, balls, hooos'
mittens and "fascinators. During the
year she makes the articles and sells
them as souvenirs to the many people
who come to the college to meet this
bright, interesting girl.
Linnie has learned the New YORK

learned the American braille and the
English braille-equivalen to learning
four languages. She knows all her
friends by the touch of their hands. she
has signs for all Of her acquaintance

the time of day, winding it and setting
it whenever she likes. She recites the
