that one, although we may have deserved many 
more.— E. N. E., writes: “That Rebusby Sally seem¬ 
ed so easy after I saw the answer, that I was sur¬ 
prised to think I could not guess it,” and adds: “I 
thought editors liked brevity, and therefore I have 
Always tried to be as brief as possible when w riting 
to one, but I see you urge us to pen longer missives. 
I think you must be, not only a puzzle editor, but a 
puzzle of an editor.” We get puzzled sometimes. 
We think the generality of puzzle editors like long 
letters and short puzzles, although we do not taboo 
the letter if particularly good.— Sally: You were the 
person referred to, although we did not get your 
noin de plume exactly right. Try to remember the 
Oarnerings every month. Your last lot of puzzles 
was a very fine one. We are becoming quite proud 
of our contributors and see great talent in all of 
them.— Maude: That long delayed Charade appears 
next month, and we think it will cause much study. 
Concerning No. 58, Sally writes: “You ask my opin¬ 
ion of Maude’s Charade. I think it is a good one, 
Although there are several words that would answer 
for solution.” The lady does not say what those 
words are but submits the one you did.— B. Wildred: 
Always glad to hear from new-comers. The prizes 
are open to all for competition.— Cassbet: The poli¬ 
ticians seemed to have more trouble over the answer 
to No. 55, than our puzzlers did. Political puzzles 
are ever knotty and hard to untie. “May tne best 
man win” we say, although it is often hard to tell 
who is that best man.
