XEW PUZZLES 



No. 43.— CHARADE 



First owned a second — 



It died last night; 

 The cause of the iliird 

 It wasn't fed right. 

 This last the way we come to naught, 

 If we do not do the thing we ought. 



Whole is gorgeous. 



But hard to raise; 

 When seen in perfection, 

 It merits much praise. 

 Medina, Xew York, Hepatica. 



No. 44. NUMERICAL ENIGMA 



Only six letters I contain, 

 Yet a noted puzzler I name, 

 Known to us by mystic fame, 

 And honored, by us all, the same. 

 3, 1, 5, 4, 2 a city gay we trace, 

 3, 5, 6, 1 in South Seas has a place, 

 2, 6, 1, 3 is needed by every race. 

 The answer read at running pace. 

 Litchfield Corner, Maine. Old Fogy. 



No. 45.— CHARADE 



In gardens neat, your eye will greet 

 My first— a vegetable we'll book it — 



My last's the place, you'll find, in case 

 The ruddy cook desires to cook it! 



A fifth of three, now put between . 

 A musical composer's seen. 

 Denver, Colorado, Tommy Tucker. 



No. 46.— DECAPITATION 



In gardens pretty totals groTV 

 To gladden hearts of men below. 



While pen and last are near at hand 

 AVords may be written down to stand. 

 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Arty Fishel. 



No. 47.— triple letter enigma 

 In "fancy" free. 

 In "roses'" three,

 In "singing" oft, 

 In "creatures'" good, 

 In "zealous" mood. 



The total now, you soon vrill see. 

 Are Mystic Gardeners, all three. 

 Hawley, Minnesota. Kappa Kappa.

CHAT 



We give you an easy lot this month, and 

 want all to try for prizes. The larger list the 

 more books vdll be given, and lists will be 

 booked in the order in which they are received. 



Several of our old friends found us this 

 month, and as we can not write each separately, 

 we take this way to thank you all. 



One of our friends writes. "Will it be out of 

 order for me to offer a prize for the solution of 

 my puzzle when printed ?" It vrill surely make 

 it more interesting if those having books or 

 plants they can spare to do so, and we will be 

 pleased to have them do so. Auxt Eunice.
