lar Reading Course. This course has
been prepared specially for Ameri-
cans who have no knowledge of the
language, by Professor Benno Kirsch-
baum, a distinguished French scholar
and teacher. All readers of The PosT

French conversation will find it to their
advantage to follow these studies; and
for those who anticipate visiting the
Paris Exposition in the coming sum
mer they will prove to be of great
value. The ability to use ten French
words ito the point" will help to make
"touring" easier, and working vocabu-
larry of 100 words will surely cover up
multitude of embarrassments. Pro-
fessor Kirschbaum has conducted Eu-
ropean parties and is thoroughly famil-
lar with the initial language needs of
an American in Paris.
