CHAT. 



The puzzles in this number are not hard, 

 and we should have a good list. 



No. 33 is very easy, and a very good one. No. 

 34 is very clever, and is good for a begin- 

 ner. Come again, Tom. No. 35 is really three 

 separate puzzles, and easy to solve. No. 36 is 

 a little late for the season, but is too good to 

 keep over. No, 37 is from our old friend 

 Novice, and that is all that need be said. We 

 can add that Aunt Eunice has five. 



Don't forget the yearly contest. There is 

 still time to get into the race. Aunt Eunice.
