GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLE.
(Composed by Mary V. and Willie K., each aged thirteen.)
An island west of British Columbia (1) went to the lightest city (2) in
the world to attend a ball. She there met a peak in Oregon (3) named as
follows: A city in Egypt (4), a city in Maine (5), and a city in
Australia (6), in whom she was much interested.
Her dress was a valley among the Himalaya Mountains (7), and though
elegantly trimmed with a city in Belgium (8), it was, unfortunately,
two cities in France (9). As she felt a country in South America (10),
she wore around her shoulders a city in Scotland (11) shawl. Her
jewelry was exclusively a peak in Oregon (12). Her shoes were of a
country in Africa (13), and her handkerchief was perfumed with a city
in Prussia (14).
Being a lake north of the United States (15) dancer, she had
distinguished partners, whose names were the capital of the United
States (16), the capital of Ohio (17), the capital of Wisconsin (18),
the capital of Alabama (19), the capital of Mississippi (20), and the
capital of North Carolina (21).
Having boldly said that she was a country in Europe (22), she was
escorted by a city in Indiana (23) to a bay in South-west Africa (24),
where she freely partook of a river in Oregon (25), some islands in
the Pacific Ocean (26), a river in South Africa (27), a district in
France (28), and some islands in the Atlantic (29).
