70 How to Train Your Observation
One last suggestion as to a form of practice. Look at any
shop window display. Try to observe everything in it (with-
out using the Peg or Link systems). Then list all the items
without looking at the display. You can wait until you're
home to do this; then go back to check, when you can. Note
the items you left out and try it again. When you think
you've become proficient at it, try remembering the prices
of the items also.
Each time you do any of these exercises, your sense of
observation will become noticeably sharper. Although all
this is not absolutely necessary for the acquiring of a trained
memory, it is a simple matter to strengthen your observa-
tion. If you take the little time to practice, you will soon
begin to observe better, automatically.
Before reading any further, I would suggest that you
memorize the Peg Words from 51 to 75. I might also sug-
gest that for the time being, you use the words that I give
you. You could, of course, make up your own words, as long
as they stay in the phonetic alphabet system. These would
probably serve you just as well, but you might pick some
words that would conflict with some of the words that
you will eventually learn for other purposes. So, wait until
you've finished the book, and then change words to your
heart's content.

For "lot," picture an empty lot. For "loom," you might
find it easier to picture a spinning wheel. "Lure" is bait
for fishing; you might picture a worm. For "chum," you
