Uneasy Aces RS. SIMPKINS h. card puzzle pre at last solved nted to her N by Mr. Simpkins last March and has announced that she is ready for an- other one. Mr. Simpkins, who always has something like that up his sleeve, told her to take from the pack the four es, four Kings, four Queens, and four and to arrange them in four rows our each, but so that there should be no two cards of the same denomina- tion nor of the same suit in any row, column, or eit F Mrs. Simpkins thinks that it cannot be done, but Mr. kins swears that it n. Mr. Simpkins, of course, is right. Talking Across the Table HE ladies of the Afternoon Bridge Club all agreed that it was de able to purchase some new equip! for the clubrooms, and three of those present, who had had a most successf afternoon, offered to contribute it. Mrs. Brady subsequently purchased one dozen packs of playing cards, two bridge ta- bles, and four chairs for which she pa $16 in all. Mrs. Carter bought two dozen packs of cards, three tables, and five chairs for a total of $25. Mrs. Judson bought one dozen packs of cards, three tables, and seven chairs, Assuming that all the cards were of a like price, all the tables of a like price but not the same as the cards, and all the chairs of a like price but different from both the cards and the tables, what was the cost of Mrs. Judson’s purchase? i The Winding Stair HE Queensport Wa- ter Company were constructing a new w tank, The part of which that is of immediate inter- est to us is pictured to the left.

He called attention to the fact that the figure consisted of two squares, one just four times as large as the other. J Mabon, his brightest pupil, shortly accomplished the feat and used only two cuts. Professor Thorn- dyke, although well pleased with the excellence of the work, made a further proposition: to cut the figure into five pieces which would form a square, but without making any cut through the smaller square.
