IT is easy to make friends with birds if you go the right way about it, and take a little trouble to conciliate them with food, nesting-places or bird-baths. Any would-be bird-lover whose clumsy and inexpert advances have hitherto been repulsed, may find some good advice in this talk by a writer who is becoming as well known as a naturalist as he has long been as a war-correspondent.

THIS second talk by Professor Burt concludes his contribution to the series that began last summer, and the remaining four talks will be given by Dr. Crichton-Miller and Dr. Potts. This evening the subject discussed will be one of great interest to many parents, and-in these days of youthful precocity-to quite a lot of adolescents ; how far it is possible to seek the aid of science as a guide in that ever-recurring difficulty, the choice of a career.

Gainsborough, who was born in Suffolk, lived in Ipswich from the time of his marriage, in 1746, until his removal, in 1761), to Bath; and the Suffolk country has left an ineradicable impression on his landscape work. Ipswich is. therefore, celebrating the bi-centenary of his birth with a special exhibition, organized by the Town Council, which will include not only a very fine loan collection of Gainsborough's own work. but examples of the masters whom he influenced and those who influenced him. This exhibition, which will be opened by Prince Henry on Friday of this week, will be the subject of this talk by Sir Charles Holmes, the Director of the National Gallery, tonight.
