"OUT DAMNED SPOT"
Sir,-If the creator of Crossword No. 730 (R.W.H.) can find "Out Damned Spot" in Act IV, Scene 1-thén she has written something into Shakespeare that was never there before! As one who has persistently sweated over Listener crosswords, it is with great pleasure that I take this "refreshing cooler" in which to acquaint R.W.H. with the knowledge that I, too, have in my possession a much cherished edition of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. It is well that the great ones of the world are not infallible; otherwise we poor midgets, sitting under the table, would most ceftainly starve to death. It is therefore with renewed literary strength that I wish every success to your very inter-
esting journal.
EDWD.

(R.W.H. admits with regret that the "damned spot’ found its way into the wrong act of Macheth.-Ed.)
