How it Began.

When I think of woman my mind ponders on the Garden of Eden. Probably Eve, when she took her morning bathe, grew tired of the ever-the-same reflection which showed on the, face of the pool, and craving for a change, evolved the idea of body ornamentation. Having made her plans, she was subtle enough to feed the brute before breaking the news, and in order to put him in a good humour, she offered Adam a bite of her apple. Then, pretend- Ing a chill which she did not have, she induced him to search for decorative fig-leaves to serve as alluring draperies. From the moment of donning her first costume, she cultivated fresh whims and fancies, and varied her designs to such an extent that Adam's life became one long, weary search to discover fig-trees with leaves of a rare and refresh ing shape. Which occupation,

incidentally, kept him out of other mischief--FromAdam and Eve, by H. Dennis Bradley.
