or repulsion. I also had a feeling that I had seen a <u>PUZZLE</u>
based on the same idea of assembling a large cube from the
8 small ones before. Felicia also had that feeling.
<br>She had a letter from a man who had an idea to make a
jig-saw <u>PUZZLE</u>, or rather 6, using cubes with different
pictures on the six faces. The man mentioned seeing it
done for children's puzzles but wanted to do it for adults. Felicia
and I both felt that this would be in the public domain.

it a lot. She wants to see it. She thinks that my suggested
home - <u>CHESS WITHOUT TEARS</u> was great, and that I should split

said she certainly would.
On way to Wald's looked in a discount store. They had

puzzles on the two sides of the board.
At <u>Wald</u>'s he showed me a <u>GAME</u> that he and <u>Arthur</u> had worked

the two long end there is an incline with a flat portion at
the top. One player places a "spool" on the raised portion
and pushes it off with his fingers. It rolls back and forth until
it comes to rest, generally between two lines. Other
player pushes off his "spool" trying to get it to end in the
same space, or as a close as possible - the original player
