The worse thing about the January issue
of the Cosmopolitan, as Is the case with a
number of other prominent magazines, is
the fact that one has to stop and cut its
pages. 1t is certainly to be hoped that
American magazines will grow more and
more away from this method Of pu LEGATION,
and save their readers this n, ed IS task.
In its literary makeup in the general ex-
cellence of its illustrations, and in the
range Of subjects treated, the January num-
Der of the Cosmopolitan will rank among
the very best issues of that always interest
ing and instructive publication. The front.
