For an Afternoon.
Mrs. Mary B. Miller writes to you: "We originated the following for
entertaining a few young ladies invited to spend an afternoon. A phrase
describes some character noted in history, literature, or art. The
initial letters of words in each phrase are also initial letters of the
character's name. Given the phrase, guess the name. Here are a few that
were used; others may be thought of by you: Able Leader--Abraham
Lincoln; Can Draw Girls--C. D. Gibson; Uncle Sam's Guardian--U. S.
Grant; Wrote Many Tales--W. M. Thackeray; Somebody Famous By
Messages--S. F. B. Morse; Crossed Courageously--Christopher Columbus;
Great Philanthropist--George Peabody; The Big Republican--Thomas B.
Reed; Wise Cultured Bard--W. C. Bryant; Great Warrior--George
Washington; Favors Water--Frances Willard; Betrayed Americans--Benedict
Arnold; Prone To "Blow"--P. T. Barnum; and Was Scotch--Walter Scott."

in the _White Lady of Berlin_ (2) from the Modern Athens (3) for a three
years' trip abroad. The brother of the historian (4) whose name
signifies the long-armed ape had handed me an object the night before,
attached to which was a card reading as follows:
My name is short--it's in my head.
Behead me, and consider only
My threefold nature, and you'll find
That I'm in yours.
Yours truly.
I followed the directions, and found a roll of paper containing these
lines:
