unable to assume a natural express

around in some way. You can sur
prise your subject into animation
make him smile, catch him in all
sorts Of ways unawares, and by put

get a Characteristic likeness. Deaf
ness alone is fatal. You tell one Of
your best anecdotes, one which you
have used brilliantly time and again,
and your subject looks blank and
says. "Beg pardon?" You 60 over

and by the time you get back to
your place again you've forgotten
what heeting look you were trying
to watch OF else your subjects face
has returned to its passiyeness.
deafness alone is the one thing
which destroys the mutual sympathy
