URQUHART (after Raeburn) The pencil round which the World of Art revolves To define the first inspiration—to pin the vague idea to paper—there's no pencil that provides so smooth a path as the world-famed "Venus." For the roughest sketch, for the finished work, for the crisp detail drawing, or the heaviest impressionistic effort, there's a "Venus" pencil. The ebon blackness of the "B's"—the sharp definition of the medium grades, and the pearly greys of the "H's" are a delight and inspiration to the artist.

HIERSEMANN LEIPZIG, Königstr. 29 THE GIFT OF TONGUES By ANTHONY SOMERS I have discovered a remarkable method of learning French, Spanish, Italian and German. I only wish I had known of it before. It would have saved me much drudgery, toil and disappointment. It has sometimes been said that the British people do not possess the "gift of tongues." Certainly I never did. At school I was hopeless. I could never "get on" with any Foreign Language. Yet I have always wanted to know them—especially French. I have wanted to read Racine, Balzac, Anatole France, Marcel Proust, and that great critic whom Matthew Arnold so much admired, Sainte Beuve, in French, and not merely through the medium of a characterless translation. And I have wanted to spend holidays abroad without being tied to a phrase-book. So I have often tried to find a method which would really teach me a Foreign Language. At last I have found it. Some time ago I read that the well-known Pelman Institute was teaching French, Spanish, German and Italian by an entirely new method. I wrote for particulars, and they so interested me that I enrolled for a course in French. Frankly it has amazed me. Here is the method I have wanted all my life. It is quite unlike anything I have ever heard of before, and its simplicity and effectiveness are almost startling. One of the most striking features of the Pelman Courses in French, German, Italian or Spanish is that they are given entirely in the language concerned. English is not used at all. Yet, even if you do not know the meaning of a single Foreign word, you can study these Courses with ease, right from the beginning, and without "looking up" any words in a vocabulary. It sounds incredible, but it is perfectly true. Further, this new method enables you to read, write and speak French, Spanish, Italian or German without bothering your head with complex grammatical rules or learning by heart long lists of Foreign words. Yet, when you have completed one of these Courses, you will be able to read Foreign books and newspapers, and to write and speak the language in question grammatically and fluently, without the hesitation which comes when a Foreign Language is acquired through the medium of English. This new Pelman method of learning languages is explained in a little book entitled "The Gift of Tongues." There are four editions of this book. One describes the Pelman French Course. Another describes the Pelman Spanish Course. A third describes the Pelman German Course. A fourth describes the Pelman Italian Course. You can have a free copy of any one of these books by writing for it to-day to the Pelman Institute (Languages Dept.), 174 Pelman House, Bloomsbury Street, London, W.C.1. State which one of the books you want, and it will be sent you by return, gratis and post free. Overseas Branches: PARIS, 35 Rue Boissy d'Anglas. NEW YORK, 71 West 45th Street.
