NEW PUZZLE is VERY SIMILAR
TO THE ONE OF LAST WEEK
1t Has Twenty 1.-TWO Questions the Answers to Each of
Which May Be Found on the Ordinary Penny.
The Puzzle Is Easy and Conditions Simple.

So general has been the clamor Of the
Puzzle Circle for another weeks fun
with a puzzle similar to that of finding
things on 2-cent stamp that 1 have
selected a subject e3ally as familiar
easy. and full of possibilities of error
as the one we had last week.
"A penny for your thoughts" was sug-
gested by the popularity of what is
found on a 2-cent stamp"
In that it has twenty-five questions
the new puzzle is exactly like that of
last week. The difference lies in the
fact that the answers to these questions
are to be found on our everyday l-cent
piece.
They are not all found on a Lincoln
penny, however, so do not look for them
there.
While the puzzle is " penny for your
thoughts, if you think along the right
channel these thoughts will be actually
worth a good many pennies to you.
Three dollars will be awarded the first
most nearly correct solution of the puz-
zle received before noon on Friday: s.
is the prize for the second most nearly
correct list, and 81 for the third answer
that corresponds with the solution given
by the author of the puzzle.
One solution only will be allowed each
contestant
No list will be taken over the tele-
phone.
No list after being once submitted may
be changed.

Bobby couldn't believe his ears.

Bobby was so surprised he could
hardly speak, but he finally stammered
out: Eyes. it is"

Bobby's fear took flight. for the fish's

AN ATTRACTIVE MODEL
FOR NIGHTGOWN.

This season has seen some very welcome changes
in the articles to which we have been accustomed
for many years. These changes not exactly radi
cal, but they have all the details varied, and the
suits are even more lovely than anything we have
had heretofore
The of the peasant shoulder in dresses has
proven inspiration to the designers of lingerie,
and find the pretty seamless cut in many of the
corset covers and nightgowns which are of this
years manufacture.
Scant Lines Duplicated in Undermuslins.
We also find that the scant lines of outer gar
ments are duplicated in these more intimate arti-
cles. The skirt sections of the nightgown are now
of very restricted dimensions and the combinations
which have almost entirely displaced the separate
undergarments are cut that they do not give any
great fullness anywhere the hips especially being
made snug as possible.
In the negligee gown. above all, there is the
chance for the introduction of the novelties of style,
and every possible advantage has been taken of the
opportunity so offered. We find the shirt or empire
waist, the seamless shoulder. the scant skirts, and
clingng effects pushed as far as the limit of good
taste and beauty will permit.
