From the collection Of solutions al
ready on my desk I have fancy that
pretty nearly everybody interested in
puzzles must have spent his rainy Sun
day searching out the flowers Mrs.
Neihmeyer so cleverly disguised in the
puzzle which appeared in its usual place
in the Sunday evening edition of The
Times
A hasty glance over some Of the first
arrivals also demonstrates the fact that
Mrs. Veihmeyer's description Of some Of
these dwellers in byways and woodland
paths has not served TO keep the puz-
zlers all on the right track.
Indeed, there is in some cases a very
great divergence Of opinion and one

upon Here's the query;

Carroll, and would like so much to

appreciate help in this matter since /
quite agree with my correspondent that
a brief sketch Of the habits Of these
wild flowers would prove vastly divert
ing and interesting.
In connection with this query also
comes the suggestion that we have a
series of puzzles which will exhaustive
iy cover the local field.
Personally, I think such a series
ought to be quite well worth discussing.
especially if the botanical sharps in the
puzzle family would only give those
who have less knowledge the benefit OF
their attainments in this special field.

three things which a good wife should

should not resemble.
She should be like a town clOck-keep

however. be ike a town clock-speak so
loudly that all the town may hear her.
She should be like a snail-DTudent and
keen within her own house. She should
not he like a snail-carry all she has up
