The front door is on the street. Some
keep it always open; some keep 1t
latched: some, locked; some, bolted-
with chain that will let you peep in,
but not get in; and some nail it up, SO
that nothing can pass its threshold.
This front door leads into passage

this into the interior apartments. The

or of certain grades of intimacy, can

THE FIRST NEWSPAPERS.
The first English journal appeared

The first English journal appeared
in 1922.
The first newspaper to be published
in France was brought out in 1881.
These earliest newspapers at first
contained only political news. but they
soon began to mention other things.
such as striking natural phenomena
and great public festivities. OF adver-
tising there was not trace.
The first regular journal in Europe.
so far as definite proof goes. appeared
in 1909 at Strassburg. 1t was weekly.
There is no doubt, however, that there
were others few years older. so that
the date of the appearance of the first
newspaper may be assumed to be about
1000.
Hatin, the French newspaper histoe
rian, states that the first French jour
nal, the Gazette, was utilized for Off
cial announcements from its founda-
ton in 1851. According to many au-
thorities Richelieu was largely instru-
mental in the establishment of this pa
per and, later, in its management.
The development of the advertising
feature in newspapers was very slow
| in France. For whole century the Ga.
zette, Hatin states, did not contain q
single one. He found the first in the
files of 1862, and these were of maps
and books. Then they increased in
number and were printed all together
ut the bottom of the sheet, divided by
a line from the reading matter, but not
separated from each other except by
the lines bounding the three titles
'Livres, Gravures, Musique.."
The first private advertisement, &C
cording to Piccardi (Annali di Stats
tica. 1866, was printed in the Impartia
Intelligence of April IL, 1649. or about
$50 years ago. Andrew, Grant and 9th
er writers. however, mention earlier
examples, among them one in the Pub
lie Intelligencer of l644 announcing The
time when the king would heal tn.
Kings evil" or scrofula. Sampson
cites from the Several Proceedings o.

wards for lost horses, and a writer il

HATS FOR CHILDREN.
Lassies' Head8ear This
YeaP.

Of all the gay colors which fashion is
good enough to allow the children this
spring pink is first favorite. Deep rose
pink, the hue of the sunniest bud in the
garden, is the preferred shade.
And these pink hats and bonnets, like
nearly every dressy head covering for
children, are frilled and pulled exceed
ingly. So that Whatsoever pretty faces
later come under them, those faces will
seem to be framed in swirls of pink.
Sometimes the entire brim of the hat ia
finely plated taffeta silk four inches
deep. This is fastened only at the
crown, and the outer edge has will OF
its own. Other brims are of straw OBJ
scured by several ruffies, one over the
other, of pink chiffon.
And a different sort in straw is GOV.
cred on the under side toward the face
with q dozen wee rulings of pink silk
muslin. Crowns are oftenest in ample
Tam shapes, of pink silk, or silk and
inserting, or natural straw. And the
choicest trimming is big hemmed bow
of rose pink silk jauntily toward the
front. Some of these hats, even the
largest, have long strings Of pink nous
seine de sole.
Other hats are oil red from straw to
ribbon. Straws used for the best hats
are tuscan, leghorn, fine manila, satin
and an exquisite openwork sort, in blue
and pink. which suggested frost on the
window pane in it's delicacy. Hats Of
this lightness bear Innings and frills OF
taffeta.
Foxes are in order for little folk. The
fancier the poke the better. An ex.
c1psive design is of soft satin straw with
Tam crown and crinkled brim. A many.

iings. From the back there are long
white ribbon ends. Tiny steel buckles
hold in place some ends of ribbon on
these modified pokes.
Hatpins Of cut metal or colored crys
tai are used with pretty effect ON these
young hats. Always the pins are small
and simple, and used as ON the hats o,
grown-up folk, to fasten knot or TO
settle.
Children's school hats are sturdy
sailors, especially in bright red and
navy blue. The reds have knots of red
ribbon and plenty of red quilts. The
