Our Cozy Corner. 
Econ: You are to be commended for your smart¬ 
ness in solving Maude’s puzzle as it was an exceed¬ 
ingly hard one. You were the only one who suc¬ 
ceeded in garnering what Maud sowed. Didn’t you 
think the numerical was as novel as it was good ?— 
Angelina L.: Your contributions are very welcome 
and acceptable. Your writing is so beautiful it would

The 1, 7, 27, 36, 16, 6, 11, 4 is a nimble little fellow. 
The 26, 29, 38, 19, 40, 13, 31 is great.

In sharpen, not in hone; 
In marble, not in stone; 
In scatter, not in sow;

Adelaide. 
No. 29. Amputations. 
Of a girl I am the name; 
Forward or backward I am the same. 
First behead and then curtail, 
And now you’ll find that, without fail, 
Of a girl I’m still the name. 
Forward or backward I am the same. 
Curtail again, if you are inclined. 
The name of a girl you’ll surely find. 
Now write it in black, or write it in red, 
But the letter that’s last now put at the head. 
Still forward or backward I am the same, 
Because of a girl I still am a name. 
B. M. H. 
do a printer’s heart good to set type from your 
“copy.” Hope you will favor us with answers every 
month.— D. Lury: Articles for this department 
should be strictly original: so, if you conclude to 
send us some garnerings, please to bear that fact in 
mind. As you are so proficient in solving, we think 
you are capable of forming puzzles “out of your own 
head;” try at any rate to do so and let us know the 
result— Clifton : Don’t you think “Turnout” was a 
strange answer to No. 18? We did not mean that 
No. 13 was so very easy but that B. M. H. had been 
so wise as to answer puzzles equally as hard, she 
would have found no difficulty in mastering that ones 
Maybe we can find a place for your charade by 
making the answer in the singular instead of the 
plural number, because the contraction of two words 
is hardly admissable.— Dick Ens: Many thanks for 
your kind notice given us in the New Jersey Puzzler 
concerning this department. We shall ever strive 
to deserve your kind comments.— Lead Pencil: We 
have concluded to use your numerical enigma and 
hope to find a place for it in the July paper. More 
will prove welcome, and as we have often stated: 
“answers are always in order.”— E. N. E. in send¬ 
ing a very nice contribution, writes: “I feel like 
trying to puzzle some of those who have been puz¬ 
zling me."—Sally: The new puzzles were just what 
we wanted. It would add to our pleasure if you 
would send solutions every month. Why not?— 
Dan Shannon: Econ answered all the puzzles ex¬ 
cept one word in the Double Acrostic; Maude sent 
solutions to all but her own; and as none others did 
as well, we of course deemed those two entttled to 
the prizes offered and so awarded them.
