BEDIAMONDED BEAUTY

By P. R. Brown

This diamond studded puzzle is truly a gem. It should prove only moderately difficult, for all its pretty designs. (You know, of course, that a handsome design often leads the builder into difficulties from which he escapes by resort to some musty word concealed in the depths of the dictionary.)

We are told that puzzles put people to sleep and prevent nervous breakdowns by taking the subject’s mind off his troubles. This one should have therapeutic qualities, for according to the ratio rule it could have at least 38 black squares, whereas it has only 33.
