Mr.. HoweIIs. New Work.

The announcement that Mr.. Howells will
leave Harpers Magazine, TO take editorial
charge Of the Cosmopolitan, on March Ist
calls attention 10 the process of building up
the staff of q great magazine Probably in
no monthly has the evolution been 8, dis
tinetly under the eyes ofthe public as in the
case Of the Cosmopolitan. The frst step
after its editorial control was assumed by
Mr.. John Brisben Walker, was to add to il
Edward Everett Hale, who took charge of a
department called Social Problems" sub
jects concerning which the greatest number
OF people are thinking to-day. Mr.. Hale,
who is a STUDENT, fair minded man. a
thorough American and a man ofbroad
symP2ihies, has filed this position in way
to attract the attention not only ofthis coun-
try, but Of leading European journals. some
months later, a department was established
called '.rhe Review Of Current Events
To take charge Of this, man was needed
who should be familiar not only with the
great events Of the past thirty years, but who
knew personally the leading men of both
the United States and Europe who could
interpret motives and policies. Murat Hal
stead accepted this position with the dist;nc,
understanding that his monthly review
Should be philosophical and never psrt.an
The next step in the history Of the cosnno
pOliian, Eas the placing of the seyiew of the
intellectual movement of the month in the
hands of Mr.. Rrander Matthews, who for
some time has been recognized as one of the
Two or three ablest critics in the United
States.
Finally came the acceptance oftbe elitor-
