The following poem, on Modesty, is
from the Yale Record:
When every pool in Eden was a mirror,
;Tnat unto Eve her dainty charms pro-
: claimed,
She went undraped without a single fear or
Thought that she had need to be
Twas only when she'd eaten of the apple
That she became inclined to be prude,
With much debated problems of the nude
Thereafter she devoted her attention
Her time and all her money toher clothes,
And that was the beginning of convention,
And modesty, at least, SO l suppose.
Reactions come about in fashions recent !;
Now girls conceal So little from the men
That 1t would seem, to get back to the
decent,
Some serpent ought to pass the fruit
again.
