“Why Hasn’t Someone Thought of That Before---?” HUS asks a reader who has just made the acquaintance of Modern Story Magazine, the new magazine devoted exclu- sively to modern youth. “A magazine that actually is ‘of, by and for modern youth’ thrills me to pieces!” writes this El Paso, Texas, girl. ‘Why hasn’t someone thought of that before? It seems to me that there is a great need, a crying demand, for just such a magazine.”* ee is be thought that only the fair sex has taken to the idea behind Modern Story, we hasten to quote from a chap in Chicago: “It indeed was a fortunate circumstance which led me to the newsstand where I got my first copy of Modern Story Maga- zine. I had started out looking for a copy of another magazine when I chanced to see yours on the counter. Attracted by the title and the elegant style of the cover, I picked up a copy, opened it and saw that I had found the ore thing I long had desired to see: a magazine devoted entirely to the interests of modern youth.”’* HAT is it about this new magazine that has so captured the imagination of modern youth? It must be fresh and differ- ent; it must offer them something that no other publication does. Nothing else will explain the enthusiasm aroused by its appear- ance, and its steadily mounting circulation.
