which was exceedingly quaint She
could trace in the faces of those peo-

some sort of animal For instance, If
some one reminded her of a certain
lady she would probably hesitate for
a moment and then say. "Oh, yes, the
lady with the camel face" or, ''Oh,
remember-she had a cow facen This
memory system was not hattering to
her friends, but it showed how satu-
rated she was with a knowledge Of an

has given the greatest trouble.
