When Adam's Eve began to do the housekeeping for Adam, she bad no cares such as pursue the modern Adam's madam. She did not know what was the rage, because there was no Woman's Page. She did not get a Dally Hint from S Paris full of passion to start her on a daily sprint to keep up with the fashion. She did not haunt the beau ty stores in order to keep open pores. When Adam capered home at night (he was no wearied plodder!) he did not shiver lest he might be served with curious fodder. There were no papers, so you see there was no Household Recipe. Old Adam was a happy bloke and lived a life most cheery. He did not know that he would choke some day with his bacteria. Adam and Eve had never read Health Articles to scare them dead. Eve never went through Adam's breeks when he was sweetly dream Ing, because there were no Bargain Weeks to tempt her to such schem ing. The serpent thought she was a goose. She was too good for any use, The serpent was a clever brute, Though he'd not been through col lege, his sanctum made him mighty cute. It was the Tree of Knowledge. "Aha!" he said, "I'll publish, free, The Dally Eden Apple Tree!" The first edition raised a row whose scandal shocked creation. Since that first Issue Adam's brow is wet with perspiration. It told the scandal, rich and rare, that Eve had not a thing to wear!
