Les Petites Afliches, commenced in
1911 and "still running" can claim to
be the oldest newspaper not only in
France, but in Europe. Next to it in
seniority comes the Frankfurter Jour
nal, which began its career in 1915 and.
like Les petites Afiiches, still survives.
Third place belonged to the Nieuwe

England's first real newspaper was the

FREAKS OF FASHION.
How Fad For Wearing Ribbons In
the Hair Was Started,

Dress experts keep changing the fash
ions as it were, in self defense. At one
time elaborately worked and hand en-
broidered blouses We're the vogue. Then
machines were so perfected that ma
chine embroidered blouses outrivaled
the hand work, and fashion experts re-
taliated by designing blouses as plain
as possible.
The fashion for uncurled feathers
was the result of wet day. Curled
ostrich feathers were on every hat
when at some fashionable function the
rain descended in torrents and every
feather was soon absolutely straight.
Milliners, always alert for an idea,
were struck with the appearance of
these feathers, and uncurled ostrich
plumes became the demand.
The fashion for wearing ribbons tn
termingled with curls piled on the top
of the head originated in the reign of
Louis XIV. of France. A certain Mile.
Fontage was out hunting with the
king and court when a branch of
tree caught her hair and pulled it
down. With quick resourcefulness she
leaned down, pulled off her ribbon gar.
ter and twisted up her hair with 1t.
The king, noticing the pretty effect,
complimented her on her charming
coiffure, and from that moment the
"fontage," as it was termed, became
the rage.-Philadelphia Ledger.

anne and has been amused for an

game and has been amused for az
hour.
ow, there's no rule or regulation
against men anl women ac.usine
themselves with golf or iancing OF
the cabaret Or in kny other way
with which their consciences doesn't
interfere. Play makes and keeps
the world younger. There is no %.
lection in the world that the net
profits of an entertainment shall be
given to improve health conditions for
babies or for those who are tottering
ON the verge of eternity. All con-
tributions thankfully received and no
questions asked.
But WHY'S it that men and women
who will give directly to be amused
(the net profits going to charity)
will not give an equal amount of eff
fort and cash directly to the same
charity without the intervention of
the amusement channel? The net
results to charity would be from five
to twenty times larger Of course
the only exhiliration would be the re-
ward of conscience, for there wouldn't
be any particular amusement in it. 1t
would be hard work, not play. The
benefits to charity would be advanced
a hundred times faster, helpless chill
dren might the sooner be given a fair
chance in life; the evils that attend
them in the surroundings of poverty
and ignorance would be bettered so
much the sooner.
In other words, why are not the
people of Florida, the men and wo-
men who have been fortunately
placed in life, where they may, if
they will, do something worth while
for the sanitary elevation of their
communities-why are not
such men and women willing to un-
iertake such work? The query ap-
plies not alone to the people of this

state-it has meaning for all states
and communities.
Life is a pretty serious matter, af-
ter all, but the serious side isn't con-
tlnuously forced upon the attention
OF those in homes of elegance, even
OF moderate comfort. Suffering
comes to all at one time or another,
but to some it is an always present
specter. 1t is within the power Of
the fortunate to relieve much of the
anguish of the other half. Most of
the blindness in the United States is
the result Of ignorance of those who
assist the newborn child into the
world. A large share of the disease
that increases the community death
rate, starts in insanitary surround
ings, insanitary because of ignorance.
1t you are willing unselfishly to do
your part to lesson such conditions,
If any part of your time or your
money is available for such work
without the medium of play or amuse-
ment, there are a hundred opportu-
mites and there are those who can
show you where these opportunities
lie.
Florida and many communities in
Florida are blessed with men and wo-
men who are doing this work un-
se.fiShly, unobstrusively, without hope
OF reward this side the Pearly Gates,
but they are few and lonely. They
are the men and women who have
studied through personal contact the
needs of the other half, whose inter-
est has been aroused to the fighting
point by what they have seen and
known, and they are working all the
more earnestly because they are
working intelligently-they know
what they are doing and their efforts
and their money are being put where
they will get the best and largest re-
suits for every minute and every
cent expected.-State Board of Health
Bulletin.
