- Please say to H. E. p. that | think
Trinity meant dip instead of din, and
it was probably an error of the printer. l
gave the former word in answer, and re-
ceiyed credit for it. As Joined in the
crusade against the decision of the judges
in the much mooted prize question, L must
be one of the persons meant by they in
E. G. DIS letter; therefore please permit
me to say hat l dropped Polly some time
since If, indeed, ever took her up), and
should be very sorry to pick up E. G. d.,
except with the same kindly feeling have
for both, as she has always been one of my
special favorities, and her spicy puzzles
have helped to while away many an other
wise lonely hour. | for one did not do my
best wish now that l had), for my charade
was not written to compete for the prize,
as the Quiet Hour can testify. Again, /
did not want it, but hoped some one out
of Sacramento would win this wish hav-
ing been expressed in letter to the Quiet
Hour before the prize tangles were pub
lishedl, and my reasons were purely dis
interested ones. E. c. d. is sorry for the
bitterness that they have mixed, etc.
Please allow me to ask if there is not just
a spice of that ingredient in her comments
on our course. As the winner took all the
sweet, and the defeated ones all the bitter,
it is possible that a drop or two of bitter
may make her cup of sweets more palat-
able. Again, if she did her best, she was
on her mettle, was she not One cannot do
better than best however hard they may rub
bumps of wit, etc. True, the relative
merits of each charade remains undis-
turbed, SO also should the right each
tangler has under the Quiet Hour rules
to engage in courteous criticism. With
out this rule I think the Quiet Hour
would become too quiet for amusement.
So, with regret that we do not see more

Dear Outraged Fellow tanglers What
clamor about the prize charade, and that
much-talked-over Polly. Some one ad
vances the sage advice Polly, to your
rescue !" So here comes Polly, anxious to
rescue herself if possible but what is she
to do? All conspire against her. AL
though endowed, ! presume, with the
requisite amount of proper self-esteem,
still I cannot avow in black and white that
| agree with the committee, and think they
acted as only wise men could ; but still |
do say this much to one who asserts that
the answer was as plain as if written be-
meath, that every one is not so good at
guessing, and she will find few so brill
| liant as herself in that line. And although
thoroughly amazed as you We're in the
awarding of the prize, no one was more
astonished than "yours truly" Before
| sinking again into oblivion and sending
this to the "Qaiet Hour" which lately has
been very noisy, | may add that, before
long, you may hear more OF POLLY.

True, SIS and sos are alike, but purposely
so, as a different answer is given. Rose
says 'sTo the Adam question, l would
say that so many years have elapsed since
| he sighed, that l fail to catch the faintest
echo through the corridors of time. Ii,
as she has credit for doing, Eve caused
him to err, he perhaps sighed lost,
ever lost 7 This is the answer suggested
by friend. Please tell Trinity that our
accounts are squared, since he did not an
swer my Garfield, and l could not get his
diamond, ST."
