.-lie make an extended voyage, and have the good

reasoning of kindly rivalry.

Our Cozy Corner. 
It will be seen that we, this month, introduce six 
new candidates for public favor. We kuow not if 
this is their first appea ranee in print, but we art- 
sure it is their debut in this column as puzzle makers. 
Polly Anthtts: Your garnerings would be just what 
we want but for two defects. The key-words in the 
Cross Word Enigma are not all of the same number 
of syllables, and we think you have not quotedjhe 
proverb in the Numerical Enigma correctly. Please 
send something else.—/. T.: It is customary, and 
some puzzle editors demand it, for puzzlers and 
solvers to send their full names for private reference; 
but noms de plume and initials will be given in print 
when their owners so desire.— Jeane ; You mistake. 
It was the plain uuvarnished truth without the least 
mixture of “taffy” with it.— S. B.: Glad to hear 
from you. We can use all your puzzles but the 
Square which is almost too short. Five letter 
Squares are the smallest we can accept. We will 
make room for you in the next number.— B. M. H.: 
Thanks for pleasant note and suggestions; the latter 
will be duly considered and. probably, acted upon.— 
Little Buttercup: Be kind enough to send answers 
each month and keep striving for one of the prizes. - 
O. W.: Your solutions came to hand just as we w r ere 
closing the lists. There are some rich treats in store 
for you next month.— Om/ny: We have plenty of room 
for more solvers' names. Hope you will have “lots’ 
of valentines. F. S. F.
