Special Correspondence OF The Sunday Republic.
New York. April 1s.-In olden times there
were many Greek gentlemen who knew
Homer then practically occupied the field
and there was little else to learn Then
came more advanced prodigies. who could.
and presumably did. commit the same
genius to memory In twenty-one days add
ing to their re-ertory the whole Of the
Greek poets In three months. Coming still
further down. Person appeared on the
scene. Not content with being able to repeat
the whole Of Horace. Virgil. Homer. Cicero
and Livy, later on in life he recited whole
plays OF Shakespeare, complete books Of
Paradise Lost and other works Of equal
magnitude.
1t can be truthfully said that in these lat
tel days individual memories are growing
stronger. This must Of necessity be the
case. as there Is now more scope and more
ground for re.entiveness. It requires a per-
son Of more than moderate intellect TO
shine In the art OF Memories.
Such q lady Is Miss May Nannary. She
has, according to her own story. committed
to memory no less than 800 plays during
a period Of three years, and can at an
hours notice, recite the words Of any lead
ing part she has studied.
Such a power of retention. involving as it
does the memoriZirg OF over 100000 words.
may be fairly termed prodigious. Taking
1t that the average modern leading role
Is fifty sides. or pages. with more than
ninety words to the page, the legitimate
parts being much longer. 1t can be easily
calculated that tho above estimate Is not
out Of the way. The ways and means Of
accomplishing such q task may be best told
in Miss Nannary's own words.

Don't it7' he said. with emphatic conf

ordinary panes Of window glass and
opened outward in French doors. The
sash and casing were painted black, to
correspond with the woodwork Of the
| room. From the top Of the window a
grill of black lattice work had been
chopped. This was made Of slender, PHI
able strips of wood, plated in and out,
| and was two feet deep.
Upon examination I found that the fas-
cinatlng effect of a tempered, rosy light
which cast a glamour on every object in
the room was due to fluting of thin red
cotton goods behind the lattice panel.
Falling from the bottom edge of the panel
were full soft curtains, carelessly drawn
back, of Turkey red cotton. The low

thrown a scarlet Navajo blanket), stood

bloomed on the desk, and huge bamboo

side of the house, served as an awning,
