ANSWERSTO NEWPUZZLETO
BE FOUND IN HERALD PAGES

We are going to have a pleasant little
diversion from the ordinary run of puz-
zles this week in the way Of business
enigma, or one that has the names Of
business firms as its subject.
1t is a simple loco Of the names Of
thirty-one business houses. places Of
amusement, banks, &c. taken at ran
dom from advertisements which have
recently appeared in The washington
Herald Each numbered tumble OF words
represents the name under which the
business is advertised.
There are two extremely advantageous
features Of this new departure in puz-
zles.
The first is that the answers may all
be readily found without seeking fur
ther than the pages of The Washing
ton Herald.
The second helpful thing about the
enigma is that in reading Herald ads
in an effort to solve the puzzle readers
are sure to find many things in the way
of bargains offered by the various shops,
pleasant places to go for a happy little
trip. Or some piece OF information that
will prove of value.
In all the history of puzzles, as I
have been connected with them. I have
never seen one more cleverly arranged
that the one before you for solution this
week.
The arrangement Of some Of the locoes
makes amusing reading. and is sure to
afford the Puzzle Circle a great amount
of fun.

DepIOrabIe Mistake.
There are many mothers making the
same deplorable mistake with a young
daughter.
They are so concerned lest the girl be-
come vain and silly with pride of beauty
or attainments that they ridicule her per-
sonal appearance and her mental achieve

A beautiful and accomplished woman
assured a friend that she suffered agOnies
when entering a room because of her
mothers ridicule during her adolescence.
The very first duty a parent owes a
child is to give that child confidence in
itself
Such confidence is not egotism. 1t can
accompany modesty and humility of

You will remember that this is by no
means the first time that prizes have
been won by out-of-town folks.
The children floundered nightly over
the flower puzzle. 1t looked as though
no one in this class would reach a near
