Answers ANAGRAMS From a box of letters printed on small cardboard squares, one selects those forming a word or short sen­tence, to be made into quite a different word by the players through transposition of letters. It is men­tioned whether the word, after its metamorphosis, should result in one, two or more words. For instance, the words "Best in Prayer" are laid out upon the table to be transposed into "Presbyterian." "Golden Land" becomes "Old England." "Flit on Cheering Angel" is "Florence Nightingale." Another that is probably known is "I hire Parsons" for "Parishioners," and to "Use a blunder" is "Undesirable."
