Abstract

Guess the defined words and write them below, one letter per numbered blank. Transfer each letter of these words to the appropriate numbered square in the diagram. The filled-in diagram should contain a quotation reading from left to right. Only black squares, not ends of lines, indicate word endings, The first letters of the guessed words should give, reading vertically, the author of the quotation and the title of the work from which it was taken. Veteran readers of the Saturday Review and the Sunday New York Times should already be familiar with such double-crostic puzzles, which were originally developed by Elizabeth S. Kingsley, Doris Nash Wortman, and Thomas H. Middleton.
