OUR CHRISTMAS PUZZLE.
Loveland, Ohio.
I think I have correctly worked the Christmas Puzzle in Young People. I had to study some time over "ray," never having heard of such a fish. It was only by finding what letters I needed in the columns 11, 9, 9 that I saw they were r a y. On looking in the dictionary I found there was a fish called by that name. "Yard" also puzzled me a great deal. The other words were easily found.

My brother Bertie and I have had a nice time finding the answer to your Christmas Puzzle in No. 8 of Young People. We thank you very much for your kind wish, and wish you the same in return. Can your young readers tell what it is we wish you?
