Nast's Caricaturing Faces.

The way that some artists can dis
tort features without making them un-
recognizable is certainly very remark
able. Thomas Mast possessed that
faculty to an extraordinary extent and
he had a very peculiar way of adding
new faces to his mental portrait gal
lery When fresh subject would
rise in politics, for instance, he would
invent some pretext to call upon him
at his office or house and hold him in
conversation as long as possible, study
ing his features. When he took his de-
parture he would purposely leave his
cane. Once outside, Mast would make
a hasty pencil sketch on a card. and
would usually find that his memory
was refcient as to some detail He
would then return, ostensibly for the
cane, and another look at his victim
would enable him to perfect his sketch
After that he had the man forever.

used to make frequent trips to wash
