                duce you  to  the pictures of fifteen  people  right now,  just
                to prove  that you can do it, with  the help of my systems. Of
                course,  it isn't as easy with pictures, since you see  the  faces
                in only  one  dimension,  whereas ordinarily you see people
                in three dimensions. It  may be a little  difficult  to find out-
                standing  features of  a  face  in a  picture, but I'll try  to  help
                you with each one.
                  No. 1 is  Mr. Carpenter.  This  name is no problem because
                it already has meaning.  The next step  is to find an  out-
                standing feature  on  Mr. Carpenter's face.  You might decide
                on his  very small mouth. If you look closely,  you'll  see  a
                sort of scar on  his  right  cheek. Pick  one  of  these  (the one
                that's most obvious  to you) and  associate Carpenter to  that.
                You might see  a  carpenter working on  the  small mouth  (get
                the carpenter's  tools  into  the  picture) trying to  make  it
                larger;  or, have  the  carpenter working on the  scar, trying to
                repair  it. Now,  and most  important, look at the picture
                of  Mr. Carpenter and actually  see  this  picture, see your
                association  in your mind's  eye  for  at  least a  split second.
                You must make yourself  "see" this  picture or you'll forget
                the name. Have you done that? If so, go to picture #2.
                  No. 2 is  the  Mr.  Brimler  we spoke about  awhile ago.
                Notice  the long dimples  in his  cheeks. Can you see  the
                heavy character  lines  from his nose  to the  corners of  his
                mouth? As  in every  face,  there  are  many outstanding fea-
                tures that can be used. I would use the dimples, and see
