FASHION DRAWING & DRESS DESIGN By MABEL L. HALL. THIS book is a reliable guide to those who intend to follow out, or are already following out, the career of a fashion artist. Mrs. Hall has had a wide experience of this work. Her course is thoroughly systematic, being based on anatomical principles. It is claimed for this book that a student studying it intelligently will be able to avoid the faults of bad proportion and impossible posture so frequently seen in advertisements portraying the human figure.

(Gerrard 9310) Pot Boilers TO secure life-long economic independence every artist and art student should learn the technique of commercial art. This will not only develop enormously his flair for 'genre' subjects. It will also enable him to go on working at his own chosen sphere in art for just as long as may be necessary to achieve success. Moreover, commercial art (advertisement illustrations, magazine drawings, poster designing, etc.) becomes more interesting every day. To learn it in the John Hassall Way is a delightful experience. The unique Postal Course devised by John Hassall, R.I., forces students to develop powers of which they themselves are unconscious. Send to-day a copy of the above drawing or a specimen of original work and you will receive free of charge (1) Expert Advice. (2) A handsome Brochure explaining the John Hassall Course.

WILLIAM REEVES Bookseller LIMITED, 83 Charing Cross Road, London, W.C.2 JUST OUT A Portfolio of Rapid FIGURE STUDIES OF MOVEMENT FROM THE NUDE FIGURE BY BOROUGH JOHNSON Author of "The Technique of Pencil Drawing" (Pitman 21/- net) This portfolio is designed especially for the student of Art. The studies have been made rapidly, the chief objective being to catch particular poses. The coloured plate is finished in detail. To draw the nude figure is the most difficult and elusive of all objects, so it is the most important form of study for the figure draughtsman. Mr. Borough Johnson, whose reputation as an outstanding figure draughtsman is international, believes that a careful and intelligent study of these drawings will enable the student to attain to a better understanding of the human figure and to a greater facility in delineating it.
