By MYRTLE MILES.

A letter recently received by Birming- ham matron from a friend in Winchester, Mass, tells of a fad which it seems is decidedly popular at some of the New England resorts and exerts a fascination as subtle as solitaire. It is the puzzle fad and is somewhat similar apparently, to certain children's games in which sec- ] tions of pictures are put together to make harmonious whole. The writer of the letter apparently took it for granted that the puzzles had already been intro duced in Birmingham, hence was not ex- piicit. She said, however, q could not imagine anyone caring for a game which seemed so inexpressibly stupid. When sev- eral Of our party adopted it. l was quite l disguested, but now have become an en- thusiast like the rest. Mrs. B. could i not solve hers last night and worked with 1t until a. m., when she was at last successful and stopped content. A nice way is to begin the solution after break fast placing it on the table and working 1t out before luncheon"
 There may be some of these picture pug zles tucked away in the trunks of return ing vacationists, which will be shown lat CT. However, the little woman who re- ceived the letter and says that the pug gle sounds like a bore" hints darkly that if someone doesn't appear with one soon, she intends to ask her friend to send one down so that we may see for ourselves what 1t Is like.
