 The Courage of Hamish 

gilded, jewelled, twinkling and brilliants which LADY SHEAFFER for you?

  There never was a pen so pretty as the new Lady Sheaffer. There never was a pen so you. Golden-rippled, silver-brocaded, bright with jewels. Choose from ten delicious models. All slimly elegant, made to set off your hand like an antique ring.

 And not just for show, The Lady Sheaffer has feminine elegance with masculine solidity. Hard-working, hard-wearing nibs in solid gold and silver-four nib gradings.

 Extra easy to fill too. Positively no smears, no splotches, no messy fingers. Because you fill the Lady Sheaffer with an ink-filled cartridge. Just unscrew the barrel, tip out the old cartridge, slip in the new, screw back the cap. Your Lady Sheaffer writes smoothly at once.

 The Lady Sheaffer costs 31/2 (about $9.84)? to 12 Guineas (about $35.41)? from the best pen shops in your town. Such pretty pens. . . such a pretty present. To you. From you. To you. . .? A hint in time. . .?
