THE MYSTIC MAZE
DJ WAL/PER B, GIBSON
Today's mystic mazo hides a well-
own object that is seen in many Households and business offices. You can find it by trasing your way in and] out of the mystic maze.
There are four entrances to today's maze. Start at one of them and try to trace your course among the curv ing lines. If you choose the proper entrance, the way will open ahead as you go along, and you will be able to como back to the starting point with ont retracing any linos or crossing any barriers..
You will then have the outline of the hidden picture. Fill in the out- line and you will form a silhouetto that will stand ous clearly in mazo
