The People Who Read 1.-THE Digest

The best test Of any periodical is the class of its readers.
Character in a magazine or a newspaper attracts men
and women of standing and judgment, as inevitably as
"a flower draws the bee, and for the same reason. 1t suits
their taste. Glance around you in the train, on the
st~reet-cars, in hotel Hobbies, wherever your fellow hui

PITY Poor Haroun al Raschid

OHiggins tell about 'The Secret
Springsp-the source of every
human motive and action-the
force that simply makes us do the
things at which we and our
neighbors marvel.
Kansas, far removed from Bag
dad, sent us Dana Gatlin. We
can imagine old Haroun sitting
wide-eyed and wondering before
Miss Gatlin while she tells him
the story of the sweet young
woman who married man who
simply couldn't be true to her no
matter how hard he tried. Yes,
the caliph would have enjoyed
why Do They Marry"
nOyou know what flange ISL
DWell, it's the raised edge Of a
,car-wheel and it keeps the wheel
on the track. Rupert Hughes, in
''The Broken Flange," tells about
a girl who wanted to be a flange,
but twho, at the critical moment
but read the story in November
Cosmopolitan!
Compare Haroun al Raschid
with Rex Beach. Both would go
long distance for a story, and in
November Cosmopolitan Rex
went to Mexico. Just imagine
fishing in the Gulf of Mexico with
Rex, where as he saysin Messing
Around in Mexico" the fish are
so hungry that you haze to stand

Yes, you can afford to pity poor

and dadventures hat Harounnever
even dreamed about.
Meredith Nicholson, John A.
Moroso, Jack Boyle, Gouverneur
Morris, Arthur Somers Roche,
Robert w. Chambers, and James
Oliver Curwood are a few other

w yHEN Haroun al Raschid
" of Arabian nights fame
' ' wanted to get closer to the
people he slipped on an old linen
duster and, accompanied by Jaca-
far, his companion, rambled at
night through the streets of old
Bagdad listening to many strange
and beautiful tales.
Haroun was lover of the arts
music, painting, poetry and lit
erature. But most of all he loved
a good story. He would travel
any distance to hear one.
You can afford to pity the old
caliph. There was no Cosmopoli-
tan Magazine in his day.
He couldn't stop at the news
stand on the corner and take his
adventures home with him. He
was obliged to go out and seek
them in all kinds of weather.
It is your twentieth century
privilege to pay quarter (you can
do that today and take away with
you the best work of the greatest
writer's and the greatest artists in
all the world in the best magazine
that it is possible to produce. For
that's what you do when you buy
November Cosmopolitan, which
is now on sale.
The Washington times., 1919-12-07

WE doubt whether Haroun, in
w all his wanderings, ever en-
countered a finer story of friend
ship between father and son than
Peter B. Kyne tells in kindred
of the Dust" his newest novel,
now appearing in Cosmopolitan.
Fannie Hurst, who writes un-
common stories about common
people, never told a better story
than Back Pay" in November
Cosmopolitan. 1t isn't a pleasant
story-and it isn't a sermon.
When you read it you'll know
why Miss, Hurst wrote it and why
no one else could have written it.
There is something of Henry
Fielding's frankness about it.
And how Haroun would have
loved to have heard Harvey

GERMANS DID NOT RAISE ANY
QUESTIONS AS,To ITALIANS

versailles.-The question Of Italian
representation at the peace negota-
lions, so far as can be ascertained has
not been raised by the German dele
gates. Certainly 1t was not touched
upon at the meeting Of the inter-allied
and German credentials commission.
The Germans had this point in re-
serve and, according to indication,
would probably have raised it had the
inter-allied representatives at the
meeting questioned their right to
speak for Germany, with Bavaria in
rebellion, or enjoying semi-independ-
ence. However, when NJ. Cambon, in
stead, proposed an exchange Of Gre
dentlals for verfication, the Germans
we're so satisfied that they did not 60

The Germans planned sightseeing

The necessary permits were not re-
ceived, however, and the project had
to be abandoned.

The Italian delegates to the peace
conference, who left Paris almost
abruptly when the members Of the
council OF four representing Great
Britain, France and the United States,
refused to grant Italy's full claims to
Fiume and the Dalmation coastal re-
gion, have been invited to come back
to Paris and resume their places In

Paris dispatches assert that by rea-

Italians will return to the French cap

disputed points will begin again where
they we're left off. .s.
The invitation of the council OF

the elimination Of the personal ele-

conferees are again together.
In Belgium the dissatisfaction over
the awards to Belgium has resulted in

his signature to the peace treaty. A
