PUZZLES FROM YOUNG CONTRIBUTORS.
No. 1.
TWO ENIGMAS.
1.
My first is in snow, but not in rain.
My second in nip, but not in bite.
My third is in mount, but not in plain.
My fourth is in weasel, but not in kite.
My fifth is in butter, but not in cheese,
My sixth is in ice, but not in freeze.
My seventh is in rosy, but not in pale.
My eighth is in dimple, but not in veil.
My whole is as lovely as well can be
Anything half so wild and free.
2.
In scatter, not in plant.
In polish, not in rub.
In arrow, not in bow.
In ripple, not in flow.
In river, not in tub.
In ocean, not in lake.
In ewer, not in dish.
Of me now, what do you make?
Am I bird, or bee, or fish?
Susan Nipper.
