Odd Man Out

You have remembered all your friends — except one. He, of course, remembered you. It's embarrassing and you want to do something about it.

Well, with the best will in the world, we can do nothing now to help you with your Christmas preSents. But, there is still the New Year and that is as gdod a time as Christmas for a gift which will continue anew each week for six months—on even for a year.

We can send the Spectator to your friends in any part of the world, as your New Year Gift, for six months (26 issues) for 10s. less than the normal cost.

The charges are : for one or two gift subscriptions : 7s. 6d. each, for three gift subscriptions : £1, for a greater number : 6s. 8d. each.

We ask you not to name friends known to you to be regular readers already. Otherwise you may open as many gift sub- scriptions as you wish.

Each friend will receive a Greeting Card offering your good wishes and explaining that the Spectator comes from you as a gift.

The offer is open until the end of the year.

[IF YOU WISH TO GIVE A YEAR'S SUBSCRIPTION THE TOTAL COST, INCLUDING THE GIFT OFFER, IS 251. FOR EACH SUBSCRIPTION.)

99 GOWER STREET, LONDON, W.C.I.
