genesis Of the first one Of the race,
which was produced in France in the
beginning Of the eighteenth century.
1t was called Nouvelles la Main,
or Hand-to-Hand News in those days
and the inventor was lady named
Nine. Doublet.
Nine. Doublet received all, the best
society Of Paris and both she and her
guests loved scandal. To cater for
their taste book was kept into which
every visitor wrote what he or she
had picked up in the way Of news and
gossip since his or her last visit, and
these news items were afterward
copied onto sheets of white paper and
taken round to the houses of those of
Nine. Doublet's friends who had not
called that day.
Eventually the thing developed into
commercial enterprise, and the
Hand-to-Hand News was sold to all
who wanted 1t for six francs monthly
or IS year. But dollar In those
days was, 1t must be remembered,
worth good deal more than 1t is
now.
In 1858, when Nine. Doublet was
quite an old lady. an attempt was
made to stop the circulation of her
Nouvelles a la Main. But 1t had gain
ed so great hold upon the public
taste that the police were powerless
to do so.-London Express.
