FIRST THINGS

The first booksellers catalogue in the English language, so far as known IS one bearing a date of 317 years ago today, Dec. IS, 1895. It was issued by Andrew Maunsell, of Lothbury, Eng land and contains an elaborate dedi- cation to Queen Elizabeth. The first booksellers in England were migra- tory peddlers, who carried their small stocks on their backs, and thus may more properly be called the pioneer book agents. In the course of time some of the more prosperous hawkers of literature set up small stalls or booths, and thus became known as "stationere'' This is the origin of the word stationer. now generally applied to dealers in stationery which has come to mean writing materials, pa per, pens, ink, and similar articles. Booksellers in England were for cen- turieS treated as near-crimind1s, and subjected to many restrictions, which were not wholly removed until 175s The booksellers Of both England and America now have powerful associa- tions, the former dating from 1929.

 'We can take care of our own rights, sir. They will be safe in our keeping. even if you should not find it to your interest toNrun risks in our behalf"
 "You'n find me ready for any risk you like,' muttered Thornton, turning on his heel
 At the same moment Colonel Haverill, who had not participated in the danc- ing, approached from the direction Of his wife's apartment. He held in his hand a white silk handkerchief. which he jm- mediately offered to Lieutenant West, who took it, glanced at the initials his own-thanked his superior officer and passed out to the veranda over looking the lawn, where many colmred. lanterns twinkIed. Here, almost as if by preconcerted arrangement, Mrs. Haverin joined him 8 moment later.

He has escaped arrest, and I have just received word that he is here in Charleston I am the only one he can turn to. His father is stern and uncompromising in his humilia- ton.
