The New Magazine of January issue comes to us as a very fine number containing excellent stories, all well illustrated. This number with •its gay frontpiece, is really the enlarged Christmas number of the “New.” Stories by Baroness Von. Hutten, Danvick Deeping, R. V r . Chambers, Rosita Forbes, Olive VTidsley, Bartram Atkey and others. All stories complete. “Aussie.” The charming cover on the latest issue of “Aussie” is well worth framing and as for the contents they have never been better. There is enough humour in its sixty-eight pages to keep one simmering with laughter till the next issue happens along. One of the brightest features runs to two pages, a screamingly humourous story in verse by A.'g. Stephens, with clever illustrations. For the rest there is a great collection of laughter in picture, story and verse, from the best known writers and artists in Australia _and New Zealand. “Humour.” Great interest is evident in the big £IOO competition at present running in “Humour.” the competition is a most interesting one and concerns the unravelling of a jumbled sentence. There is a first, prize of £SO and nineteen other prizes. “Humour” is not a comic paper, but is a carefully chosen weekly collection of tho world« leading black and white humorous art stories.
