705. Charade, by Augusta Blake, Hollis
ter. (Affe,tionately dedicated to Ora
Bradley, in memory of Nettie Ayers
The spring will come when winter is over,
And clothe the ravaged naked tree;
But where's the spring that can restore
Your departed friend Nellie Ayers, to thee
Tangers of the Quiet Hour, your mourning robes
put on,
And mourn the loss of your associate that is gone
It may be your fate some day to be called away
Before your God, his high commands to obey.
To remain on this earth in vain she had strivep,
But alas her fondest ties on earth were rudely
riven.
Oh happy soul released from worldly cares,
It's well with thee when heaven thy ways prepare.
The trees and shrubs in spring shall bloom anew
On hill and vale, by fora's mantle clad
Though nature pants them in her loveliest hue,
They will charm us not-our hearts are lone and
sad
Farewell dear Nellie may peace and rest be yours,
Afar from all this sinful life endures;
A pronoun for my first you will now select,
Two-thirds Of one of the United States for second
you will detect.
The whole in conjunction, and then you will gee
Where hope her soul will rest for all eternity.
706. Charade, by E. G. D.:
My first is a word that means go,
Though votion is not expressed;
My second means Annie, or John, OF Joe.
And bears import to every breast;
My third curtailed is common noun,
Though "not proper" would not imply,
The clipped part you'll find in your tea Don't
frown,
Dear housewife it's not Ay
These congruities join, and find'
common attribute of the mind
707. Double acrostic
valuble animal the quality of salt
most used in a house a choice fur of small ant
NAL The initials downwards and the finals also,
will name what We frequently take together.

Gus.-We are unwilling to say whom
we deem the best of our tanglers. This
we do know, more tangles of real merit,
wit and worth have and do appear
in this department than in any
similar one in the country. With the
depth of Trinity, the grace Of Sibyl, the
feeling Of Hattie Heath, the naturalness OF
Ora and Carrie, the mathematical profund-
ity of 'My Wife and l" the ease and
originality of Amy, the wisdom and
thoughtfulness of Rose, the perplexities of
Marius, the oddities of Casper, the intri-
cacies of F. NJ S., and all the freshness,
charm and grace OF many others who con-
tribute to these columns, the department
cannot be surpassed. 1t has drawn to it
the best and most original contributors.
and is recognized at the East as having a
model group of correspondents. This is
word in season, and compliment that is
no hattery.

Dosia-Of course. The enigma must
contain the elements of truth, or it is not
true enigma. 1t should have a real
word sentiment for its base. To manufact-
ure new word and build thereon an
enigma, cannot be said to be fair. Distort
if you please, but there still must be some
truth at the bottom.
