She could trace in the faces of those peo ple who visited her a resemblance to some sort of animal. For instance, tf 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, I remember—she had a cow face!" This memory system was not flattering to her friends, but it showed how satu rated she was with a knowledge of an imals and their characteristic.
