HORTENSE

A thousand thanks! So naively turned!

ARMANDE

So useful too ... to those concerned!

"The Cap that Fits."


ENIGMA
[Sidenote: _Mark Twain_]

which have attractions especially designed for the pleasing of the fancy
and the strengthening of the intellect of youth, we have contrived and
builded the following enigma, at great expense of time and labour:

I am a word of 13 letters.

My 7, 9, 4, 4 is a village in Europe.

My 7, 14, 5, 7 is a kind of dog.
