The New Competition

WE offer two prizes in our New Competition of £2 10s. cad', one for men and one for women. Our readers are asked to imagine that they can only select their future husband or wife by means of a brief advertisement in the " Wanted" column of the Spectator, of no more than sixty words : the choosing of their life partner depends therefore entirely on the. careful wording of the advertisement. It will be necessal not only to suggest the kind of husband or wife you wish. but also to indicate your own personality. The prizes will be given to the writers of those advertisements which, in the opinion of the Editor, would be most likely to achieve their purpose.
