By Margaret Wade

If the constructor felt like Weary Willie after filling in this criss-cross pattern, which has only twelve unkeyed letters, there are bound to be a lot of W. W.’s among those who try to solve it.

WORDS AND MUSIC

Mr. Cadek is quite a figure in that field of music where the string quartette raises its austere voice. But no feat of counterpoint is more difficult than the placing against each other of two long words such as in 19 and 26 Horizontal or 72 and 78 Horizontal.
