All this wealth of travel information, interest and charm will be yours in a year’s subscription to TRAVEL, the most bril¬ 
liant and fascinating of magazines. Each month TRAVEL comes in a new and wholly different costume, and its contents, 
whether in text or picture, are the most intensely interesting which can be gathered from all over the world. For instance, the 
January TRAVEL, now on sale, has a cover in full color, of a very charming but little known canal in Venice. Inside, the issue 
is full to overflowing with the most fascinating articles, splendidly illustrated, on travel in such widely different places as France, 
Turkey, England, Mexico, the Philippines, Cuba and Florida. A few of the prominent features reveal the wealth of interest of 
this issue, which is typical of each number during the vear. 
CONTENTS 
A; Devon shire. Week 
This article is a sprightly record of a week spent 
in coaching through Devonshire, England. It is 
more than a mere narrative, however, for the 
author is a woman of wonderful capacity for de¬ 
lineating types as well as places and her sense of 
humor makes her story a most enlivening narrative. 
Through the Valley of the Rhone 
The ancient Roman cities of the Rhone Valley are 
pictured with rare charm and fidelity in Mr. 
Douglas Sladen’s article. The cities of Avignon, 
Le Puy, Arles and Nimes with their relics of 
Roman occupation and the more modern places such 
as Lyons and Marseilles are shown as fascinating 
objects for investigation. 
The Devils of Notre Dame 
Few people who have seen or read of the gargoyles 
which are among the most striking ornaments of 
the great cathedral of Notre Dame, realize their 
significance or appreciate their suggestion of humor. 
This article is an eye-opener in both these respects. 
It is both amusing and instructive. 
Mexico,'Our Nearest Southern Neighbor 
Most of what has been written upon tjie subject of 
Mexico, the attractions and disadvantages of that 
country have been catalogued in rather unsatis¬ 
factory fashion. In this comparatively short arti¬ 
cle Mr. Arthur Page has done what many an 
author has failed to accomplish in a whole book— 
he has given the reader very nearly the impres¬ 
sions that he would receive were he to visit that 
country in person. 
Constantinople 
The capital of Turkey is an interesting but un¬ 
clean place says the author of this fascinating 
paper. With its numerous mosques, its cosmopoli¬ 
tan population and its congested streets, it offers 
to the TRAVEL reader a most fertile field for 
study. To read this article is to get a very clear 
idea of conditions as they are in the Mohammedan 
city that was once dominated by Christian people. 
In the Depths of the Everglades 
One of the most interesting and novel features in 
the January TRAVEL is a thrilling description, by 
the celebrated writer on Florida, of a trip through 
the Everglades, the dark and dismal swamps which 
are all but inaccessible on account of the heavy 
undergrowth and poisonous reptiles which infest 
them. Mr. Dimock describes in a graphic manner this 
fascinating country and the people who live there. 
A Government Chauffeur in the Philippines 
When he heard the government was to establish an 
automobile stage line on the Benguet Road, the 
man who wrote this article applied for a po¬ 
sition as chauffeur. He was both a gentleman and 
a competent driver and he got the job. His ex¬ 
perience and the attitude of the natives toward the 
service together with very satisfying descriptions 
of the country along the road go to make up an 
article full of lively interest. 
Eastern Cuba from the Saddle 
The observation of a traveler by horseback to parts 
of the eastern end of Cuba where the railroads 
have not yet penetrated are included in this graphic 
and engaging article. The author tells a number 
of details concerning Cuban life, but he is re¬ 
served on the point of the garlic flavored meals 
which were served. He writes in an intimate and 
chatty manner and one feels on reading his work 
that he has had almost the equivalent of personal 
contact with what he saw. 
Each number of TRAVEL is really a tour of the world, and twelve such tours will make you intimately acquainted with 
every country and its people. It will give you a new understanding of the world, and will bring to you, in the most delightful of
