                him call any  number, and you  immediately give him the
                object, or  have  him call  any  object  and you tell  him what
                number it is!!
                  Don't  let  that  last  part  throw you, there is nothing to
                it. If  I  was to ask you now  what  number salt-shaker was,
                you would  "see"  the ridiculous picture of a  cow with  salt-
                shakers instead of udders.  Since  "cow"  is  the peg for  #7,
                then you know that salt-shaker was #7.
                  Watch  the  look of  astonishment on  your pal's face  when
                you're through!
               -    Please do  not go on  to  the  next chapter until you are
                sure that you know all the peg words from 1 to 25.
                  11. tot        15. towel     19. tub       23. name
                  12. tin        16. dish      20. nose      24. Nero
                  13. tomb       17. tack      21. net       25. nail
                  14. tire       18. dove      22. nun

                  For "tot," it is best  to picture a  child  that you know.
                For #12,  you  can  see the object  called, made  out of  "tin."
                For  "tomb," picture a gravestone. For  #20, you can see
                the  object called,  on your face  in place  of  your  "nose."  For
                "net," you can  use  either a fishing net,  a hair  net,  or  a
                tennis net.
                  For #23, you  can  see the object you  wish  to remember
                forming your "name." For  instance,  if  the object were cigar-
                ette, you would  picture  your  own name printed out very
                large with cigarettes. If you don't care for  that  idea, you
                might  picture  one of your business cards  for "name," or  any
                other possession that has your  name on it. Whatever you
                decide on, you  must use  it  all  the  time. For "Nero," I always
                picture a man playing a fiddle.
                  Remember, please,  that once you decide on a particular
                picture  for any  of  the peg words, you  are to use  that picture
                all the time.
                  If you know the pegs from 1 to 25 thoroughly, (and I
