LOOSELY WOVEN

The warp and weft of this one are not drawn too tightly together. If the puzzle has a fault, it is in the abundance of black squares, but the neat interlock saves it. Rather easy for the adept, and not an undue tax on the novice.

A STUDY IN CROSSES

Funny how often you find crosses in cross word puzzles. There are several meanings to that. You will observe Maltese crosses in Mr. O’Leary’s construction, and it isn’t hard enough to make you cross.
