| ed next door 10 the pyramids all my
life and never thought them worth
the trouble OF study, and now you have
materialized on the scene, and you
want to know all at once every secret
that is connected with them. Now !
can show you the way to the pyra-
mids. but l don't in the least know
what the writings mean. Did you ever
read the BibleW
"My father used to read it to me-"
"Did he ever read about the garden
Of EdenT
mo; I do not remember it,"
"Of course not. 1t is about woman,
and he wouldn't read that. Well,"-
desperately-"there was such place
when God made the world. and there
was a man there. He was all alone.
There wasn't another human being In
the whole world, and Adam-that was
his name--was lonely. I'm not surpris-
ed at that. 1t must have been borrid.
He raised some kind Of row about it,
and so one night while he was asleep
God took O rib out of his side and
made a woman out of it. After that
Adam became the father OF all men,
and Eve--that was the woman's name
became the mother of all women

clothes are much too small for you, but

Lisle smiled.
"They are here In the house." she
said. II gave orders last night about
them. Shall have them brought

"well. at least you need not put these
on" said Lisle. Il have other apparel
here. You shall have a much better
suit than this one"
The extra suit was soon forthcoming.
and after that the two girls worked on
In silence, with here and there an 10
terjection from Erna. I.Isle did not Of
fer any remark, and every question
that she would have asked during the
process of removing their outer gar
ments was nipped in The bud by vehe-

: The interjections came when the
work Of arraylng Iisle in feminine ap'
parel was in operation. The ''instru
ments of torture" were made 10 fit by
altering the lacings. and when at last
they were clasped around Lisle's waist
so tightly that she found ii difficult to
breathe, Erna believed that the most
heroic part OF the work was done.
Nothing about the costume came to

equal TO feminine emergencies of dress

one by one, So that at last Iisle stood
before her instructor. having success
