"Locoed!" He could only stare at

Many Legends Treat
of Wonans Creation

Woman's first appearance has been
q popular subject of legends. The
PbOenician myth of creation is found
ed on the story of Pygm lion and
Galatea. There the first woman was
carved out of ivory by the first man,
and then endowed with life by Aphro-
dite, says the Kansas City Star.
The Greek theory of the creation of
woman, according to Hesiod, was that
Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered Vulcan
to make woman out of clay, and then
induce the various gods and goddesses
to invest the clay doll with all their
worst qualities, the result being
lovely thing.
The Scandinavians say that as Odin,
VIII and We, the three sons of Bor,
were walking along the beach they
found two sticks of wood, one of ash
and one of elm Sitting down, the
gods shaped man and woman out of
these sticks, whiting the woman
from the elm and called her Ernia.
