The a~upearance of anything new anu
striking, and especially anything 'na'
marks q new era in illustrated Magazine
literature, is certain to cause uniVerS"
comment. When, therefore, the CoS"o-
poIitan Magazine, in its February ISSUE just
ous. appeared with colOred illustrations n
the body of the magazine, q thing wnt :
had never been known before In all tne
history of magazines, it has naturally at
trac,ed great attention, and been the SUD
;act of conversation in society circles, q.
climbs. and upon the street. So important
has the subject seemed that reporter
of this paper called at the once
of the Cosmopolitan, % Park Row,
New York. and desired TO see
Mr. Schlicht, the manager. The gentis-
man gave the writer an audience as iol-

"Do YOU propose, Mr.. Schlicht, making
the colored illustrations q regular feature

Magazine has BEEN a success from the start,

Thanking Mr. Schlicht for his courtesy
and information, the writer withdrew,
full satisfied that both the Cosmopolitan
and Nj. Schlichv have indeed hit upon
some OF those happy discoveries which
both interest and please the people, ana
help the worlds progress.
