MR.. HoWELLS' NEW WORK.

The announcement that Mr..
Howells will leave Harper's mag
azine, to take editorial charge of
the Cosmopolitan, on March 1st,
calls attention to the process Of
building up the staff of a great
magazine. Probably in no monthly
has the evolution been SO distinctly
under the eyes of the public as in
the case Of the Cosmopolitan. The
first step after its editorial control
was assumed by Mr.. John Brisben
Walker, was to add to it Edward
Everett Hale, who took charge of Il
department called Social Prob
lems," subjects concerning which
the greatest number of people are
thinking today. Mr.. Hale, who is
a student, fair minded man, a
thorough American and man of
broad sympathics, has filled this
position in a way to attract the at
tention no. only of this country,
but Of leading European journals.
Some months later, department
was established called "The Re-
view of Current Events" TO take
charge of this, a man was needed
