Our Cozy Corner. 
Gyp: The prizes are offered by the publisher; and, 
as soon as won, we notify him where and to whom 
they should be sent, Perhaps yours went astray. 
We have endeavored to right the matter, and hope 
you will have received your due ere you read these 
lines.— J. F. M.: Have requested the missing number 
to be sent. When you fail to receive a copy of the 
magazine, write to the publisher ana not to the puz¬ 
zle editor.— Lamps: That puzzle of yours, in this 
issue, is so good we wish we had a dozen or more 
like it. Well, we shall live in hopes that they will 
come in good time. — Ruthven: Your chirography 
was a welcome sight, and the contribution such as 
we are ever glad to receive. — Sally: Did Thanks¬ 
giving take away your appetitite for solving puzzles? 
We had no solutions to the November “Garnerings” 
from you. We lived in the fond expectation of re¬ 
ceiving some, up to the last moment, and then, disap¬ 
pointedly, had to close the lists. See what success 
you have with Maude’s Charade in this number; its 
construction is quite unique. — Adelaide: Of course 
we are glad to w r elcome your return to the “Garner¬ 
ings” ; for it is a pleasure to . note familiar names, 
especially those that were identified with tne first 
issues of this department.— Maude: You are a very 
faithful worker in puzzledom’s cause, and the gen¬ 
erous packets of varied puzzles keep us well supplied. 
Your contributions may be hard to answer, but puz¬ 
zles were intended to puzzle and cause the head to 
search out hidden mysteries.— B. M. H.: More of 
your Charades would find favor. You have never 
written a puzzle we have been obliged to decline and 
we have no fear that you ever will; so, better send 
a large budget and bewilder the garnerers. — E. N. E.: 
Riddles seem to be going out of fashion. This we 
Judge to be the case as you are the first person who 
has favored us with that style of puzzle. We are 
partial to them, and believe they are popular with 
solvers. Until within a few years there has not been 
much variety in forms of pnzzles; but, now a days, 
besides the great number introduced, many puzzlers 
are constantly on the alert to invent something new. 
As “variety is the spice of life”; so is “novelty the 
spice of puzzles.”— Will A. Mette.: Thanks for pa¬ 
pers, etc. Your puzzle departments always show 
much care, and we are glad you are so successful in 
catering to the wants of your readers. Weekly de¬ 
partments occupy much time to conduct. We know 
this from experience, as we have three in our charge. 
— Undine: You never seem to lose your interest in 
puzzling. For ourselves, w r e think there is something 
new to be learned from it every day ; and while we 
are gaining pleasure, we are also receiving instruc¬ 
tion and imparting it to others. The harder the puz¬ 
zle, the greater the victory in solving the same, and 
we all want to be “at the head of the class,” don’t 
we ? — Every one: A glad New Year to you and lota 
of profitable garnerings. F. S. F.
