MOTHER EVE.

In writing biographies of eminent wo-
men, it is fit that we brgiu with Mother
Eve herself Eve belonged 20 one of our
was related to the first man on the Adam
side, although she had deep cause for re-
| gret that she ever left Adams side Phi
losophers who have probed deep into the
subject connect Ewes early career -, rib
with the female fondneSs for rihhou. Eve
became Mrs. Adam, and they lived with
each other very happily i"ra time There
was no other woman tnr her to he jealous
of, and her husband wasn't pesterrd with
dressmaker's bills. She wasn't tortured
by discovering love-lctters from unknown
females in Adams coat tail pockets, and
Adam never blew her up because his but
tons weren't sewcd on Eve never saw
a>hion book or fashion plate; never
wore high heeled shoes (shc made a slip,
but couldn't mal,ea slipper) or boots and
it there had been ewspaprrs printed She
wouldn't have known how To- make the
back numbers available | Oover occur
red to her to go into thr lecture trd, and
as for voting, she did not know what 1t
meant. II they were going ont Ia mn
evening party she did not keep Adam in
suspense waiting for her to dres-, unit! he
was ready to curse everything, and he was
never known to come home with another
mans hat or overcoat ou.
How Eve could have lived without an
other woman to gossip with, it Is hand to
understand, but she did. Adam is sup
posed to have been kept in II glow of con-
tinual happiness by the reflection that he
hadn't any mother in aaw hangug round
and cou.dn't have,
O, but those were d"ightu ~. when
our first parents, in ,hrl pn'c.uco ud
simplicity, wandered toout Eden Park,
hand in hand, discussing the improve
ments that might be made here an arch
way, there promenade here an avenue
aud there IA tunnel for an eilluent pipe
They might have had plan for filling up
Deer Creek tor what we know.
er Eve employed her time when not walk
ing in Eden. There wa, no sewing eoc,.
, ETY. for her to be President ol There were
no clothes to be made up los the u,t,
heathen, as there were very httle hedheu
until the settlement OF New lorh Cty
She cou dn't play the plhno htraa.o she
| had none. Had ,he po.-e-.,d .rol those
boons, he probably wou.d u.Nr itNcu
her husband out ul PHadI- Nilaoot tu,
the lnter> entiuno oI the Snpeut one Goa,
nut paint or draw. There wash I a drawer
on earth at that time, to say nothing aDou;
pan oi em. She couldn't embroider
though her woIsted wurk was success
! she Wor-ted the whole human race. She
couldn't receive calls except when Adam
called her, and got uu invitations out to
tea She was totally ignutaut OF the de-
lights of shopping, 1a never attended "a
matinee in all her lie. When -he wont
out to promenade ,he ueye loOh.d .'sud
to see what other women ind un.
There is one compensation lor beng the
only woman in the world Eve was not
bothered with " hired girl" She did
not know what it was to have n Bridge
, in the kitchen. She was spared the an
noyance of changing the kitchen girls ev
cry week, and there were no "tellers'
, hanging around the kitchen steps.
Everything seemed to 60 on well will
Eve until the fruit season set in, and theI
r. well, every child knows the story. Sh
was tempted into an apple tree To p'ucl
fruit that was not quite ripe, and ieil-
=. Adam fell, to-that Is, he fel to and a. p
> ed her eat it, although with mrt..nas
somewhat characteristic .. ms *, h
endeavored to throw nl the blame on tn
) the tree himself, he was ready enough l.
d purtake OF the fruit when brought 10 hi
u hand.
After the (aitr pas Adam and Eve wer
=. Obliged to take their respective leaves q
. Eden. They were fig leaves. Eve ha'
suddenly becGne possessed of IA love o
- dress, aud from that eary period until tn
1 present that love has gfadualiy increased
! among the sex, untl IL now amounts 10 I
veritablc passion with some OF them EV'
founded very extensive family. Beside
B. the Massachusetts Adam, Lha entire hu
r man race can trace back to Mr.. and Mrs
l Adam, if their traces ARE long enough
- We don't learn that Eve cut up very
/ much after that affair in the garden. |
| she raised Cain" it was because CaiI
F, was tough ard hearty. Ii he had been d
t sickly child, she perhaps would not have
g been able TO raise him.
! 1t Is recorded that Adam reached th'
good old age OF $50 years before he died
but no mention is made OF Ewes age wheI
: she passed away. The well known an
tIpaLhy To tell her age, which characterlz
es wumen IN all ages aud undo, every
? cline may perhaps account 10, ths.
Eve has numerous name-aiIes at the
- present day, Christmas Eve being the
, favorite. New Years is generally wei
4. coined. Then there is AilHallow Eve.
You can buy her at the plaster-paris shop
where she is madeall hollow. To cut the
subject short, there is no human abode
be 1t cot or castle, but that has Its caves
