Part 7 — OUR NEW PUZZLE POEM.
Reading edition
SPECIAL NOTE.—By way of novelty, an anagramic difficulty has been introduced into the following puzzle. Five words, consisting of five letters each, have been omitted. Each word consists of the same five letters transposed, so that when one is found the others can easily be constructed.
One Guinea will be reserved for the best solutions of solvers who prefer to ignore the anagram. In these solutions the words omitted must be indicated by stars as in the puzzle.
⁂ Prizes to the amount of six guineas (one of which will be reserved for competitors living abroad) are offered for the best solutions of the above Puzzle Poem. The following conditions must be observed:—
1. Solutions to be written on one side of the paper only.
2. Each paper to be headed with the name and address of the competitor.
3. Attention must be paid to spelling, punctuation, and neatness.
4. Send by post to Editor, Girl’s Own Paper, 56, Paternoster Row, London. “Puzzle Poem” to be written on the top left-hand corner of the envelope.
5. The last day for receiving solutions from Great Britain and Ireland will be June 17, 1899; from Abroad, August 16, 1899.
The competition is open to all without any restrictions as to sex or age.
