Signatures of Great Writers Make Interesting Study WE'VE had our own handwriting expert ex amine these signatures of a few of the famous writers whose work appears in May Cos mopolitan. Perhaps from their penmanship we may be able to penetrate the secret of their ability to thrill us with their mystery stories, enchant us with their tales of adventure, inspire us with their poetry or amuse us with their humor. Mosquito Jungle's Fiercest Game If you were prowling in the jungles of darkest Africa, you would probably fear most the sinister leopards and great herds of wild elephants. Nighttime, loud with strange and uncanny noises, would send shivers up and down your spine. It would be hard, at first, for you to realize that the most dangerous game in all the vast wilderness around you was the little mosquito resting for a minute on the back of your hand. To enjoy tho danger and excitement of a big game hunt with one of the most daring hunters in the world, read ?,Ku-Ha-Va Days," by Gcorgo Agnew Chamberlain, in May Cosmopolitan.

In a letter to the publisher of Cosmo politan, the manager of the Algonquin says, "Yes, the Cosmopolitan is the big gest seller on our newsstand." That's quite a tribute, for if you were to stroll through the Algonquin lobby early some evening, you might 6ee Icindly old Frank Bacon taking forty winks in a big, easy chair before his nightly appearance in "LightnhV." On a massive leather couch near the newsstand, Rex Beach and Fred Stone might be discussing golf, lassoing or art. Through the door that leads into the din ing room you might see Rabindranath Tagorc, Elsie Janis, John Drew, Holbrook BUnn, John Drinkwater or any of the interesting people who frequently dine or stop at the Algonquin Hotelmen and women typical of the clientele of this famous hostelry. That Cosmopolitan should be preferred by those who arc themselves master en tertainers is surely a tribute to its enter tainment powers. Arc you reading it?
