......Everyone is bound to appreciate certainly a heterogenous collection of the departare from the stereotyped canons wit and wisdom, but it is the ideal of which this magazine promises...its a Far Eastern magazine, for it will pages are bright without being ebocking, Its articles are crisp, original, and well written, its illustrations are artistic and euhare the value of the journal... mungking Daily Press, 27th October, 1905

The praise which we gave to the first wamber of the COSMOPOLITAN MAY honestly be repeated in reference to the second number...

"......Among these are The Art Eating a witty and obervant dis conrea on modern table manners......It is

sober the over-spirited or brighton the gloomy, just as the spirit moves the reader.... Taken all altogether Tas COSMOPOLITAN is brightly written, up-to-date, and antirely interesting
