LIGHTS OF NEW YORK

Theodore Roosevelt practically never
forgot a name. Perhaps that is why
he was President. Personally, /
couldn't even run for train on that
platform. cannot remember names,
and my mother is no better at it
than / am. l wonder whether it can
be an inherited trait. At any rate
we know better than to try to re-
member name, because If we do try
we always get it wrong.
In this regard, any association Of
ideas is snare and delusion. One
member name you usually are in
hurry. Either you are trying to in
troduce somebody or you unexpected
ly meet some one out Of his accus-
toned niche. When there is no sud-
den pressure names are easy to re-
member. You always think of them
10 minutes after you need them.
Those with a good memory for
names regard you with pity and toll
erance. The fact that you do not
forget persons seems to carry little
weight. If you say, "You know the
chap l mean-that bearded author
who goes about with Gene Tunney-
the tall old Irish fellow who writes
plays" they exclaim in shocked tones:
Surely, you are not speaking of Ber-
nard Shawl" OF whom else could
you be speaking? Isn't he Irish and
tall, and hasn't he beard, and isn't
he an author and playwright? Try
and deny it!
Persons are such egoists that they
rarely help you out on names. Few,
for example, step up and say, I'm
Manuel, former king Of Portugal. Do
you remember me?" That's Old world
courtesy. Most of them are like the
man of whom Jim Corbett tells his
famous story, the member of crowd
of several thousand who met Jim at
the station when he was champion,
and who later said, "Of course, you
remember me. l was the man in the
brown derby"
